Forbes Slashes Kissinger-Connected, Theranos Founder Elizabeth Holmes' Net Worth From $4.5 Billion To Zero

Forbes writes:
Our estimate of Holmes’ wealth is based entirely on her 50% stake in Theranos, the blood-testing company she founded in 2003 with plans of revolutionizing the diagnostic test market. Theranos shares are not traded on any stock market; private investors purchased stakes in 2014 at a price that implied a $9 billion valuation for the company.

Since then, Theranos has been hit with allegations that its tests are inaccurate and is being investigated by an alphabet soup of federal agencies. That, plus new information indicating Theranos’ annual revenues are less than $100 million, has led FORBES to come up with a new, lower estimate of Theranos’ value.
It was all about cronies surrounding this firm. Henry Kissinger was a counselor to Theranos, along with former Treasury Secretary Geoge Schultz.

I was on to the Theranos scam years ago.

  1. I guess Kissinger, Schultz, et.al. are has-been cronies. They don't seem to have been able to avoid government scrutiny.
