Beyond the Memes: Unpacking the Rise and Fall of Elizabeth Holmes
Description
There’s a ton of buzz right now surrounding "You Can See Everything"—the new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes.
More than a decade ago, Holmes and her company, Theranos, promised a medical revolution with blood-testing technology that ultimately collapsed into a multi-billion-dollar fraud. In 2022, a jury convicted her on four counts of criminal fraud, and she is currently serving an 11-year sentence in federal prison.
"You Can See Everything" takes a close-up look at her life before prison and where things stand today, inspiring a new wave of online chatter and memes.
Recently on the FOX Business Rundown, FOX Business’s Lydia Hu spoke with Wall Street Journal reporter Christopher Weaver, who was part of the paper's original investigation into Theranos. He unpacked the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes, explaining why her story still captivates the public all these years later.
Whether you’ve watched the documentary or not, there is plenty to learn from this conversation.
It originally aired on the FOX Business Rundown podcast, but we thought it was worth sharing right here on the FOX News Rundown Extra.
