After three months of examining the evidence and 32 witnesses, the court found former Therano chief executive Elizabeth Holmes guilty.
The court found him guilty of two counts of fraud and two counts of committing fraud after seven days of deliberation. The 37-year-old was acquitted of four other charges. Holmes could face up to 20 years in prison on each charge, though legal experts say he is unlikely to receive the maximum sentence.
Elizabeth Holmes was 19 years old when she left the famous American university "Standford" and decided to "change the world". In 2004, she created Theranos, a combination of the words "Therapy" and "Diagnosis". This start-up promised that only through a drop of blood from a painless puncture of the tip of the finger and through a machine, to identify all possible diseases, distinguishable through the blood.
All media writes about him, including Time, Forbes, New Yorker etc. Holmes went from a stranger to a commenter in Silicon Valley and managed to amass 4.5 billion fortunes by deceiving investors. She was considered the queen of male-dominated Silicon Valley.
But investigations show that behind Theranos success story, laboratory procedures and dubious results were hidden.
Federal prosecutors describe him as a charlatan obsessed with fame and fortune. At trial, she continued to consider herself a "male-dominated visionary pioneer in Silicon Valley who was emotionally and sexually abused by her ex-boyfriend and business partner Sunny Balwani."
After being found guilty, Holmes sat down and expressed no apparent emotion as the verdicts were read.
