“I do everything I say—word for word. I am never a minute late. I show no excitement,” wrote Elizabeth Holmes. The line is part of an extensive handwritten note the former Theranos CEO wrote to herself when she was leading the company.
Holmes took the stand in 2021 during the criminal fraud trial against her, and testified in court her former boyfriend and business partner Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani emotionally and sexually abused her. Part of the evidence her lawyers submitted, multiple outlets reported, included a note drawn up by Holmes detailing her schedule for the day, which began before sunrise. It appears to have been written on stationery for Raffles, a Singapore-based hotel.
