Ms. Holmes, who had once promised to revolutionize health care, was the most prominent executive to field fraud accusations in a generation of high-flying, money-losing start-ups. Ms. Holmes was found not guilty on four other counts related to defrauding patients who had used Theranos’s blood tests. But it was a risky strategy, experts have said, particularly since Ms. Holmes did not provide an expert witness to put her accusations in context of the wire fraud charges. Ms. Holmes left the courthouse after dark on Monday, holding hands with her mother and partner. As reporters shouted questions, Ms. Holmes avoided eye contact and stared straight ahead.
