You may have heard of Elizabeth Holmes after watching the documentary “The Inventor: Out for the Blood in Silicon Valley” on HBO. The programme is titled “Out for the Blood in Silicon Valley.”
The documentary about the man who founded a company that specialises in health technology has been available for viewing for the past three years. The question that everyone is asking is, why is everyone talking about her right now?
Despite the fact that he has a very strong opinion about his views, her husband, Billy Evans, asserts that the general public has “everything incorrect about her,” despite the fact that she may be one of the most controversial CEOs to emerge from Silicon Valley.
In a short while, Hulu will begin streaming its newest series, titled “The Dropout.” In preparation for the premiere of the show, here is everything you need to know about the argumentative couple.
Who Is Elizabeth Holmes And What Is The Controversy
Elizabeth Holmes was the founder and chief executive producer of the health technology company Theranos. The company asserted that it had revolutionised blood testing by developing a one-of-a-kind method of testing that required patients to transport their blood samples in small volumes, down to just a drop. This method required patients to transport their blood samples in small volumes. Patients were expected to bring their own blood samples with them throughout this step of the process.
According to Forbes, Elizabeth Holmes became the youngest self-made female billionaire in the United States in 2015 when the worth of the health technology organisation she started surpassed $9 million. This achievement made Holmes the youngest self-made female billionaire in the United States. This achievement was made possible as a direct result of the extraordinary expansion that the organisation has seen.
Up until July 2018, when the United States Securities and Exchange Commission accused Theranos and Elizabeth of engaging in fraudulent activities, the successful businesswoman and millionaire were enjoying the high life.
A federal jury came to the conclusion that Holmes and her chief operating officer, Ramesh Sunny Balwani, were responsible for the 9 counts of wire fraud and the 2 counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud that were brought against them.
In January 2022, a court determined that Holmes had defrauded investors by making misleading assertions about the blood testing technology produced by Theranos. Holmes was found guilty of this crime. She is scheduled to receive her verdict on September 26, 2022, and she might be sentenced to spend up to twenty years in a federal penitentiary if she is found guilty.
Who Is Billy Evans
In 1995, Billy Evans’s grandparents, William and Anne Evans, created the Evans Hotel Company in San Diego. Billy Evans is the company’s rightful heir to the Evans Hotel business.
Billy was born and raised in San Diego, and he attended Francis Parker School, also located in San Diego, for his formal education. Regarding his professional life, he is quite forthright, and he ensures that his LinkedIn page is always up to date with the entirety of his professional history.
According to The New York Post, the CEO of Luminar Technologies was the one who approached Evans about working for the company and discussed the possibility of his joining their team.
How Elizabeth And Billy Met
At a party held in the San Francisco Bay Area in California in the year 2017, Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans made eye contact for the very first time. Evans was reportedly left speechless after meeting Holmes, and she emphasised how different she was compared to how the media and newspapers portrayed her. This information was provided to The New York Post by a person close to Evans, who also spoke with The New York Post.
As their connection progressed and became more serious, Holmes would make regular visits to Luminar Technologies in order to spend time with the woman he was seeing.
Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans were finally married in 2019, capping off a courtship that had lasted for the previous four years. Unnamed sources have been quoted in several news stories as saying that Evans proposed to Holmes with the ring he wore in college.
Hulu users can now watch the most recent season of The Dropout, which debuted just recently. The events that took place in the lives of Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans, as well as the ultimate disagreement that put the well-being of millions of patients in jeopardy, serve as the inspiration for the television series.
