On June 15, 2018, criminal charges were leveled against the company and its founder, Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes and other high-ranking officials were indicted on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The scandal and so many legal issues eventually ‘extinguished’ a once flourishing company.

Holmes was initially declared in 2015 by Forbes as the youngest and richest self-made billionaire with a net worth of $9 billion based on the evaluation of her company.
