Victoria Thompson Biography & Facts
The Dropout was an American podcast hosted by Rebecca Jarvis that follows the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. It was produced by ABC News, Taylor Dunn, Victoria Thompson, and Rebecca Jarvis. Following the podcast, a two-hour 20/20 episode premiered in March 2019, following the popularity of the podcast, and was nominated for a news Emmy Award in the Outstanding Feature Story in a Newsmagazine category. The podcast has been adapted to a limited series of the same name starring Oscar-nominee Amanda Seyfried as Holmes. Jarvis, Dunn, and Thompson served as executive producers along with showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether. Background Holmes dropped out of Stanford University and founded Theranos, a medical technology company, in 2003 and became the world's youngest female self-made billionaire. The company was valued at approximately $9 billion. The company claimed that it could complete a full range of blood tests with a single drop of blood, testing for hundreds of diseases. Theranos sold its blood-testing technology to Walgreens. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission later charged Holmes with defrauding investors. In June 2018, Holmes was indicted on 11 counts of felony fraud. The podcast interviews former employees, investors, and patients and includes portions of deposition tapes.
