Well, the investors funded Theranos likely have (collectively) at least an order of magnitude more wealth than Holmes, so if they decide it&#x27;s time for the axe to drop, I don&#x27;t exactly see how she&#x27;ll be able to &#x27;buy her way out&#x27;. Which isn&#x27;t to say it&#x27;s likely she&#x27;ll face criminal charges or anything like that, your cynicism is correct in that regard, but her reputation and finances are very much on the line and her billions (which aren&#x27;t exactly liquid) won&#x27;t be able to do much for her on that front.
