From college dropout to Silicone Valley unicorn to federal fraud defendant.

Hundreds of millions were invested into Theranos based on a dream and the Government alleges fraud. Because Jury selection is about to start it’s the perfect time to get up to speed on this case and what the prosecution faces and what the defense is likely to bring to the table.

0:00.0	Welcome back to this week's episode of the Emily show. This week, we are doing a case brief
0:07.3	because the USV Elizabeth Holmes trial is just getting ready to kick off jury instruction.
0:13.6	The actions in this case happened so many years ago, you might be like, oh my god, I've forgotten
0:18.8	what this is even about. Or you might be picking up this story for the first time going, oh my god,
0:23.3	there's a lot of information out here. How do I catch up? So I'm going to talk a little bit about
0:27.7	what's going on with this case, a little bit about what I expect to see from the trial.
0:31.8	This is going to be a fairly long criminal trial, but because we're going to see a gen shot trial
0:40.2	with some of these similar crimes, you know, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud,

0:58.5	Because maybe now we got bad blood. I couldn't help it. I couldn't help it. You know, it used to be

1:13.6	story and just went to the whistleblowers and cracked this wide open, named his book about it,

1:31.1	so baby, now we got bad blood. You know, we used to be mad love. Yeah, it used to be on the cover
1:37.0	of all the magazines. And now it's facing prison. I would say that's a big turnabout. We should just
1:42.6	get into this week's episode. Don't you think? We should just get into it. Hey there,
1:48.0	welcome to the Emily show. I'm your host, Emily Debaker, badass lawyer, and everyone's favorite
1:53.3	legal commentator breaking down the legal shit in the news and pop culture stories you want to
1:58.3	talk about. I've been a licensed attorney for over 15 years. I'm a former prosecutor and I'm
