Elizabeth Holmes arrives at court holding hands with partner Billy Evans, and parents ahead of sentencing. I’m watching the large media scrum from 5 floors up outside the courtroom #Theranos
Holmes, looking very pregnant, is now in the building along with a large group of supporters. It’s unclear how many people will speak at this sentencing hearing and how long it may last #Theranos
#Breaking: Elizabeth Holmes has arrived at the courthouse for her sentencing.
#Update: We’re now inside the courtroom.
Elizabeth Holmes and several of her family members are here.
It’s more crowded than I’ve ever seen.
The crush on the way in looked like this:

#epsteindidntkillhimself and my favorite conspiracy about #theranos. Here I lay out the foundation for a D&O lawsuit against the #theranos board of directors and show a plausible explanation as to why Holmes ended up in such a bad situation.
#theranos never worked b/c the pinprick test's error rate was too broad. This is likely b/c blood is not a homogenous substance. However, the board of directors never questioned this.
And who was on the board of directors?

Internet voting has been snarkily called the "#Theranos of voting." #ElizabethHolmes trial watchers may be surprised to know HOW similar, as internet voting vendors pulled one of the exact same tricks that #Holmes did, which led to her fraud conviction. Thread 1/
One of the most damning pieces of evidence that compelled a guilty verdict in the #Holmestrial was the fact that Elizabeth put logos from pharmaceutical companies, like @pfizer, on reports that Theranos itself had authored, so that it looked like Pfizer endorsed the findings. 2/
Well, funny story. Voatz, a blockchain internet voting system vendor, wrote a report that purported to be findings of a @DHSgov assessment of their system. And they went ahead and slapped the DHS seal and logo right on top, so that it looked like the report was written by DHS.3/
1) Anlatılar ve Sayılar adlı kitabın çevrisini yaparken hikâyelere inanarak yatırım yaparak zengin olan ya da batan insanların durumuna da dikkat çekmiştim.
#Theranos bu anlamda dolandırıcılar için de kısa yoldan zengin olmak isteyenler için de bence bu işin zirvesi olabilir.

2) Hikâye ve kahramanlar o kadar cezbedici ki yatırım yaparken en temel soruları bile sormak insanın aklına gelmiyor. Hollywood filmi bunun yanında masum kalır ve maalesef bu çok sayıdaki örnekten meşhur olanı.
Peki sonunda ne oldu? Adalet, hukuk? Yatırımcılar ders aldı mı?

Defense attorney John Cline is arguing with Prosecutor John Bostic about which portions of Parloff's interviews with Holmes can be played to the jury on cross examination.
“She needs to take the stand and testify," Bostic said, citing hearsay concerns over portions of Holmes' interview, the defense sought to admit.
Cline argued he could admit for Holmes' state of mind.
"She's not trying to deceive Parloff or the investors," Cline said.

Defense attorney John Cline offered sound bites from Holmes which "[disclose] DoD’s use of Theranos as a potential one," explain why #Theranos considers its tech/processes trade secrets, and other portions that the government's proposed plays "artificially cut out," Cline said.
Not offered by either the government or the defense — the beginning of the intvw in which Holmes tells Parloff how she got into the biz.

Judge Edward J. Davila went through the surveys, and could not find many reports which actually discussed test results — an issue in the case, he told the defense attorney.
"You know that I am a faithful part of your team, and will do all that I can to help your case” Eisenman wrote to FBI special agent Adelaida Hernandez, as Downey showed.
"I have no bias in this case," Eisenman blurted out.
"I have no bias in this case," Eisenman blurted out.
Downey asked it that was an accurate statement of his feelings toward the prosecution team.
Eisenman cited "lots of abuse over the years," that he had "been lied to," that "we have the same outcome, that justice be served."
