Federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into whether
Theranos Inc. misled investors about the state of its technology and
operations, according to people familiar with the matter.
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and the New York State Department of Health
have received subpoenas in recent weeks seeking documents and testimony
about representations made to them by the Palo Alto, Calif., blood-testing
company, some of the people said.
Walgreens has been Theranos’s main conduit to consumers since the companies
announced a partnership in 2013 that now includes 40 Theranos wellness
centers at drugstores in Arizona. The New York agency received an
application from Theranos for a laboratory license in the state.
People familiar with the matter said the subpoenas seek broad information
about how Theranos described its technologies and the progress it was making
developing those technologies.
Investigators are also examining whether Theranos misled government
officials, which can be a crime under federal law, some of the people said.
Such subpoenas don’t necessarily mean prosecutors are actively seeking an
indictment. People familiar with the matter said the investigation is at an
early stage.
In addition to the criminal probe, the Securities and Exchange Commission is
examining whether Theranos made deceptive statements to investors when it
solicited funding, according to people familiar with the matter. Theranos
was valued at $9 billion in a funding round in 2014 and the majority stake
of Elizabeth Holmes, the startup’s founder and chief executive, at more
than half that.
In a statement, Theranos said: “The company continues to work closely with
regulators and is cooperating fully with all investigations.”
SEC spokeswoman Judith Burns declined to comment, as did Justice Department
spokesman Peter Carr and Abraham Simmons, an assistant U.S. attorney in San
Francisco, where the federal investigation is being conducted.
Walgreens spokesman Michael Polzin also declined to comment. New York health
-department spokesman J.P. O’Hare didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Since launching Theranos in 2003, Ms. Holmes has set out to revolutionize
the blood-testing industry. Before the company made changes to its website
earlier this year, the website cited “breakthrough advancements” that made
it possible to run “the full range” of lab tests on a few drops of blood
pricked from a finger.
In October, The Wall Street Journal reported that Theranos did the vast
majority of more than 200 tests it offered to consumers on traditional lab
machines purchased from other companies. The Journal also reported that some
former employees doubted the accuracy of a small number of tests run on the
devices Theranos invented, code-named Edison.
Theranos has declined to say how many tests or which ones it runs on
commercial machines. The company has said its technology has the capability
to handle a broad range of tests.
Federal officials began requesting information about Theranos in January and
February, according to the people familiar with the matter. Those informal
requests were followed by grand-jury subpoenas from a federal court in San
Francisco in March, the people said. Agents from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are assisting in the
investigation, the people said.
The news release issued when the Walgreens deal was announced said consumers
“will be able to access less invasive and more affordable clinician-
directed lab testing, from a blood sample as small as a few drops, or 1/1,
000 the size of a typical blood draw.”
As part of the deal, Walgreens has invested at least $50 million into
Theranos, according to people familiar with the matter.
In January, though, Walgreens notified Theranos that it intends to terminate
the partnership unless the company quickly fixes problems found in a
federal inspection completed in November at Theranos’s lab in Newark, Calif.
Last month, federal health regulators proposed banning Ms. Holmes from the
blood-testing business for at least two years after concluding that the
company failed to resolve what officials have called major problems found
during the inspection.
Theranos spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company has submitted a
response addressing the concerns and hopes to avert the sanctions. The
sanctions haven’t been imposed. If they are, Theranos can appeal.
The company began running some tests on Edisons in its California lab in
late 2013, according to some former employees and the federal inspection
report.
Theranos’s lab-license application in New York said the company planned to
test patients’ blood on traditional lab machines and didn’t mention any
proprietary testing devices, said someone with knowledge of the application.
Theranos also enrolled in the New York agency’s proficiency-testing program
, in which regulators monitor a lab’s accuracy by sending it samples of
preserved blood with known characteristics and asking the lab to test them.
If the lab’s results are in line with those reported by a peer group, it
receives a passing grade.
In March 2014, a Theranos employee alleged to the agency in an email that
Theranos was manipulating its proficiency-testing program by reporting back
results obtained from traditional lab machines for some tests, instead of
the Edison devices with which it was running those tests on live patient
samples.
Theranos said it uses an alternative process for proficiency testing. The
process “has been disclosed to and discussed with regulators,” said Ms.
Buchanan, the Theranos spokeswoman. “Theranos’ proficiency testing process
meets the regulatory requirements.”
State records show Theranos never obtained a New York license. The person
with knowledge of the company’s application said it was shelved when
Theranos’s lab director at the time wrote to the agency to inform it he had
resigned and wanted his name taken off the application.
The SEC has been paying closer attention recently to ensuring that large
private technology firms properly inform investors about their finances and
valuations. In a speech at Stanford University late last month, SEC
Chairwoman Mary Jo White said: “The risk of distortion and inaccuracy is
amplified because start-up companies, even quite mature ones, often have far
less robust internal controls and governance procedures than most public
companies.”
