🚨 BREAKING: Elizabeth Holmes has been found guilty of conspiring to defraud and defrauding investors. buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer…
The jury reached the verdict after deliberating for more than 50 hours following a lengthy trial that featured testimony from more than 30 witnesses, including Holmes herself. buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer…
Holmes captivated investors with a vision to make critical lab tests more accessible – and with just a fingerprick of blood. But what Theranos developed could only run a small number of tests, and its results were rife with inaccuracies. buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer…
Jurors needed to determine that Holmes intentionally defrauded investors, doctors, and patients who used Theranos’s lab services to convict. They ultimately found her guilty of four of the 11 charges she faced. buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer…
Holmes was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and three counts of wire fraud against investors. The jury found her not guilty of conspiring to defraud or defrauding patients. buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer…
Now it will be up to a judge to determine her sentence. Each count carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer…

As the fallout over Astroworld continues with dozens of lawsuits piling up, and many of them implicating Travis Scott, fans are divided over whether or not he should carry most of the blame. buzzfeednews.com/article/michae…
For Kylie, who has been a fan of Scott since 2017 and attended the festival, Scott’s statements on the deaths at Astroworld feel insincere. She has also been critical of the partnership between Scott and BetterHelp, as it will only cover a month of services for free.
And though the chaotic nature of Scott’s concerts have been well documented, most notably in his Netflix documentary Look Mom I Can Fly, one fan was “surprised” by the number of casualties and people hurt last week.
