The new film “You Can See Everything” has put Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced Theranos founder, back in the spotlight. But what really happened? From the podcast “The Dropout” and interviews with former Theranos whistleblowers and patients to going behind the scenes of the fictionalized Hulu series starring Amanda Seyfried, ABC News has chronicled every step of the saga surrounding Holmes. The college dropout-turned-tech entrepreneur charmed Silicon Valley, claiming her company would change the world with just a few drops of blood. Instead, a jury found her guilty of fraud.
