Well, parsing that statement:
> claimed that Theranos’ products were deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense on the battlefield in Afghanistan and on medevac helicopters
That is clearly a statement looking at past events, so if it was false it was clearly a lie
> the company would generate more than $100 million in revenue in 2014.
The important word there appears to be "would", in which case it was a forward-looking statement so easier to argue it was based on projections that just didn't pan out.
