Kissinger's business dealings included close involvement with Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes.
Once a board member at Theranos, he invested $3 million and recruited others who also opened up their wallets.
AdvertisementFormer US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's troubled legacy includes his involvement with failed blood-testing startup Theranos and its now-imprisoned founder, Elizabeth Holmes.
Federal agencies ran investigations into Theranos, and in 2018, Holmes stepped down as CEO and the startup later shuttered.
"When I was introduced to Elizabeth by George Shultz, her plan sounded like an undergraduate's dream," he wrote, referring to the former Secretary of State and Theranos board member.
