This is wrong. I read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou a few years ago and it mentions there were a lot of false results due to mishandling the blood samples (watering them down to run enough tests etc). I recommend the book if you're interested in the case.

This doesn't hold with what was found in the trial. She was found not guilty on those counts. Just because a dude wrote it down in a book doesn't mean it's true. And the legal process found it to be, in fact, not true.

That's not what a "not guilty" verdict means.

The jury didn't find that the results given to the patients were accurate. They found that Holmes was not personally, criminally culpable for wire fraud in those cases. Wire fraud is a crime that has very specific elements, well beyond the question of how accurate the test results were.

That dude was the journalist who brought Theranos down, and if this was false Theranos wouldn’t have failed overnight like it did.
