Drugstore giant Walgreens paid Palo Alto blood-testing startup Theranos $100 million, and invested $40 million more in the failed company, a former Walgreens executive testified at Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ criminal fraud trial Wednesday.
Walgreens agreed in 2012 to pay Theranos a $100 million “innovation fee” and invest the additional millions in a deal that was intended to put Theranos blood-testing services in Walgreens stores across the U.S., the drugstore chain’s former chief financial officer Wade Miquelon testified in U.S. District Court in San Jose.
