Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of the biotech startup Theranos, married her fiancé Billy Evans in secret, according to a report earlier this week.
Holmes was once worth billions of dollars before reports revealed she had defrauded investors and based her company's blood-testing technology on faulty science. She now faces federal trial for several counts of wire fraud.
