If convicted, justice would be had but would it send a negative message to entrepreneurs?
If acquitted, might it reinforce the "break things and move fast even if it harms people mentality"?

I would consider a message that entrepreneurs are not above the law to be a positive message.
Additionally, someplace out there is somebody with an idea that could allow the single blood drop idea to actually work. That idea is going to get buried because after Theranos, nobody is going to want to risk getting involved with Theranos 2.0.
A conviction is the best possible thing for entrepreneurs who actually help society and is only a negative thing to entrepreneurs who want to get rich by stealing from others.
It might send a cautionary message, but cautionary messages aren't inherently negative.
