Theranos was once valued at $9 billion, but its valuation collapsed after it was revealed that its blood testing technology was not as accurate as Holmes had claimed. Holmes was also accused of using her personal relationship with Theranos' former president, Ramesh Balwani, to manipulate him into investing in the company.

Holmes has maintained her innocence, and she has filed an appeal of her conviction. However, she is currently serving her sentence at a federal prison in California.

Theranos's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of startup culture and the importance of due diligence. It is also a reminder that even the most successful entrepreneurs can be brought down by their own hubris.
