High-profile trial of the Theranos founder that captivated Silicon Valley has concluded. Plus, the next US civil war is already here

Good morning.

The extraordinary rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, has been sealed as jurors found her guilty on four of 11 charges of fraud, concluding a high-profile trial that captivated Silicon Valley and chronicled the missteps of the now defunct blood testing startup.

Was she found guilty of all charges? No. She was acquitted on three charges, including one conspiracy to defraud patients and two charges related to patients who received inaccurate test results.

How did Holmes react? As the verdict was read, the Theranos founder bowed her head, remained seated and expressed no visible emotion.

Will she go to prison? Holmes does face prison time, although a sentencing date has not been set. She pleaded not guilty and is expected to appeal.
