New Delhi, 19 November 2022

As per news report of BBC, the former Silicon Valley star falsely claimed the technology could diagnose disease with just a few drops of blood. Holmes, 38, who is pregnant, tearfully told the court she felt "deep pain" for those misled by the scam. She was found guilty in January after a three-month trial. Holmes is expected to appeal against the sentence, which was handed down on Friday in a California court. Once hailed as the "next Steve Jobs", she was at one time said to be the world's youngest self-made billionaire. She launched Theranos after dropping out of Stanford University at age 19, and its value rose sharply after the company claimed it could bring about a revolution in the diagnosal of disease.
