If it's true that they own about 1k patents it may look like a sweet deal for some big pharma corporation to buy the whole company and shut it down. Thats the only small light on the horizon imho...

No one capable is going to gamble away their career on this unless they'd be sure to end up with many millions in their bank account.

Would Fortress Inv. get the patents if the loan is defaulted on? And in that case, wouldn't they be buying from them instead of outright from Theranos?
