Theranos: Scandal hit blood-testing firm to shut

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is facing criminal charges of wire fraud

Scandal-hit US blood-testing start-up Theranos is to formally dissolve, the firm’s chief executive David Taylor has told shareholders in an email.

Mr Taylor said Theranos had run “out of time” to secure further investment or secure a buyer for its assets.

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and former president Ramesh Balwani are facing criminal charges of wire fraud.

Prosecutors say they engaged in a multi-million dollar scheme to defraud investors, doctors and patients.
