Ask HN: Why hasn't Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes resigned?

Given the claims leveled against the company seem to be widely corroborated, how has Holmes managed to remain CEO?

Maybe her cult of personality is the only thing holding the company together. Or she's prioritizing herself over the company.

She controls the board, so no-one can make her resign. That's how she's managed to stay -- as for why, honestly not sure, I guess her reputation is destroyed if she leaves now, at least if she stays there's a non-zero chance that their tech can be made to work legitimately in a way that improves her credibility.
