SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Fortune Magazine reporter whose cover story helped turn Elizabeth Holmes into a Silicon Valley sensation testified Thursday as to how he ended up feeling like a pawn in the entrepreneur’s promotion of what she called a revolutionary blood-testing technology.10-week-old criminal fraud trial
Parloff testified that he began working on the story in April 2014 shortly after being approached a representative for David Boies, a prominent lawyer who worked for Holmes and became a member of Theranos’ board of directors. The recordings capture Holmes making statements about business relationships and blood-testing successes that weren’t true at the time she was making them, based on evidence already presented in the trial. She also emailed Parloff documents that made it seem like Theranos’ technology had been endorsed by major pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer that in actuality had already rebuffed Holmes’ overtures.
