Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at $9 billion, putting Holmes's worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work. For years, Holmes had been misleading investors, FDA officials, and her own employees. When Carreyrou, working at \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e got a tip from a former Theranos employee and started asking questions, both Carreyrou and the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eJournal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e were threatened with lawsuits. Undaunted, the newspaper ran the first of dozens of Theranos articles in late 2015. By early 2017, the company's value was zero and Holmes faced potential legal action from the government and her investors. Here is the riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a disturbing cautionary tale set amid the bold promises and gold-rush frenzy of Silicon Valley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMarch 1, 2019 by Alfred A.
