He took a job with his college buddy's sister, Elizabeth Holmes. Now he's a witness in her trial
CNN
To many people a decade or so ago, Elizabeth Holmes was the founder of high-flying blood-testing startup Theranos. To Daniel Edlin, she was the sister of his Duke University college buddy, Christian.
Edlin met Holmes through Christian and later joined Holmes' brother working for Theranos as a senior product manager in September 2011. He was entrusted with key assignments, including the company's critical Walgreens partnership, organizing tours of its headquarters for investors, board members, business partners and other VIP guests, and working with military officials about possible use of its technology.
Now, Edlin is testifying in the criminal case against Holmes over allegations she knowingly misled patients, doctors and investors with claims that her startup's technology could reliably and accurately test for a range of conditions using just a few drops of blood taken by finger stick. (Holmes has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 20 years in prison.)
