The US Securities and Exchange Commission today charged controversial blood-testing developer Theranos, founder & CEO Elizabeth Holmes and former prez Ramesh Balwani with “massive fraud” – charges which Theranos and Holmes have agreed to resolve, according to the SEC.
Charges include claims that the company raised more than $700 million from investors in “an elaborate, years-long fraud in which they exaggerated or made false statements about the company’s technology, business, and financial performance,” according to the SEC post.
