Theranos, which once had a valuation of nearly $10 billion, eventually had to invalidate a million of the blood tests it conducted. Carreyrou is also consulting on a big-budget movie about Holmes - who will be played by Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence - and the rise and fall of Theranos. The Wall Street Journal reporter details in his new book, “Bad Blood,” how he came to discover that Holmes lied about the capabilities of Theranos’ testing devices. Elizabeth Holmes speaks about her vision for Theranos at the company’s headquarters in Palo Alto on July 3, 2014. John Carreyrou’s reporting helped lead to the downfall of Theranos, the Silicon Valley blood-testing startup whose reality fell far short of what its charismatic founder, Elizabeth Holmes, had promised: pinprick blood tests that would revolutionize health care and diagnostics.
