Elizabeth Holmes

Amanda Seyfried describes why she almost passed on a dream role, playing the Theranos fraudster in Hulu’s “The Dropout,” in favor of staying on her farm upstate, where she collects her sheepdog’s fur to spin into yarn for crocheting.

“We, the jury, find the defendant guilty on four counts of fraud and one count of besmirching our beloved tech turtleneck.”

The author of “Bad Blood” discusses the Theranos founder’s defense strategies and the likelihood that he himself will be called as a witness.

I will never cheat on you, Billy. The one person I have a hall pass for is, of course, Billy McFarland, the director of the Fyre Festival.

The documentary shows that the real Holmes remains vexingly sphinxlike, no better understood today than when she was in the depths of her deception.
