The widespread fascination of the Elizabeth Holmes trial has revealed itself in many forms - including on eBay.
After Holmes was convicted of four federal fraud charges on Tuesday, eBay was flooded with items related to both the disgraced CEO and her defunct blood-testing company Theranos, as first discovered by Washington Post tech reporter Nitasha Tiku.
Authentic company clothing is now up for grabs on the e-commerce site, such as a Theranos lightweight pullover Columbia jacket fleece available for $500 or an unused company jacket at the buy-now price of $999. According to their online descriptions, the former was given to a company employee in 2015 while the latter was bought by the seller because they found "the story very fascinating."
Those willing to splurge can also purchase the infamous October, 2015 New York Times style magazine which featured Holmes on the front cover and where she is named one of "The Greats" - a yearly issue which according to the 2021 edition celebrates those "who have helped make and change the culture." Perhaps the most lucrative item on the market, the 2015 issue spotlighting Holmes is available for $2,000.
Collectors looking for a cheaper option can purchase Inc. Magazine's October, 2015 issue featuring Holmes on the cover with the headline "The Next Steve Jobs" for as low as $74.99.
The Washington Post published their first investigative expose of Holmes the same month as each of the aforementioned magazines were released.
