Lawyers are typically among the last to jump ship from corporate disasters, since they stand to gain the most from them. Usually they only do so when they don't think they will be paid, they have been asked by the company to do something unethical, or when they believe that their actions during the company's downfall may expose their own firm to liability. In this case it may be a combination of the three, but whatever happened, Theranos is toast and I suspect Elizabeth Holmes will be very lucky if she does not spend some time in prison over this.
