Blood-Testing Firm Theranos Will Formally Dissolve, Report Says

The Silicon Valley company is accused of defrauding investors

Theranos Inc., the Silicon Valley blood testing company accused of defrauding investors, will formally dissolve, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The company will seek to pay unsecured creditors its remaining cash in coming months, the Journal said, citing a shareholder email. The move comes after founder Elizabeth Holmes settled a shareholder lawsuit in July aimed at recovering whatever can be salvaged from the fallen blood testing startup.

Holmes, who reigned briefly as the world’s youngest female self-made billionaire over her promise to revolutionize blood testing, was criminally charged in June with defrauding investors along with the Palo Alto, California-based company’s former president, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. Both executives have denied the charges, according to the Journal.
