> Can anyone find an article that states actual people being victims?

Here's one: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/21/theranos-test-gave-false-mis...

My understanding is that there were a few at the trial

Yes, they used these employees statements to establish wrongdoings that Theranos committed... for the sole purpose of proving that the investors were defrauded. Not for people who had incorrect results, who then had to make hard life decisions based on it, not to mention the emotional trauma that this can inflict.

By "victims", I meant it in the context of the restitution. None of that half billion dollars that she owes goes to these people. All the articles I've read say she has to pay her victims in the title. But if you read the articles closely, they just say it's to pay back investors.

I understand your questioning of the situation but I think its pretty clear. She was not convicted of anything related to patients or their results so of course they are not her victims.
