In the wild A24 documentary “You Can See Everything,” Elizabeth Holmes still maintains her innocence in her Theranos fraud case despite being sentenced to 11 years in prison. It turns out, there are a few others who share her beliefs.
Ryan Elhosseiny, who runs a group called Just Blood, claims that Holmes is innocent and that he’s fixed her failed Theranos blood-testing technology. He and several organizers with a “Free Elizabeth Holmes” car appeared outside last week’s New York Film Festival screening of “You Can See Everything” to pass out flyers and Just Blood t-shirts to attendees.
“I rebuilt Theranos technology from the ground up using trial exhibits and and the patents,” Elhosseiny told Variety. “Turns out, everything that Elizabeth Holmes said is true. This is one of the most incredible technologies I’ve ever seen. This is airtight. Elizabeth Holmes is innocent and needs to be free.”
Famously — or, more infamously in the wake of the company’s downfall — Holmes built Theranos on the false promise that hundreds of medical tests could be run from a single drop of blood. As shown in “You Can See Everything,” the convicted founder still firmly believes that her technology can work, but several of the medical processes needed for the tests to function simply haven’t been invented yet. Now, Elhosseiny says he’s created a working version of Holmes’ Theranos test; however, there are no official reports online of anyone actually recreating the tech.
Elhosseiny, who says he’s a self-taught biochemist and ran “one of the largest laboratories in the country,” also appears briefly in “You Can See Everything.” He made headlines last year when Just Blood put up several billboards in Miami, New York City and Los Angeles. The billboards feature a photo of Elhosseiny with the viral photo of Holmes in a black turtleneck that promotes Just Blood. The signs appear in “You Can See Everything,” and co-director Nathan Fielder at one point investigates if Holmes knew that her likeness was being used to promote another company while incarcerated.
Despite the lack of official evidence that his Theranos-inspired technology works, Elhosseiny is steadfast in his belief that Holmes is innocent. His Just Blood website includes a petition urging federal authorities to overturn Holmes’ conviction; at the time of this article’s publication it’s received 346 signatures since it launched last year.
“For five years, Ryan ElHosseiny studied the Theranos trial evidence to understand what Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos actually built. In 2026, Ryan and Super Intelligence powered by OpenAI brought the entire technical record together and reconstructed the system step by step,” the petition reads. “We are asking the appropriate federal authorities to look at this complete technical evidence and reconsider what it means for the convictions of Elizabeth Holmes.”
Putting up the billboards and passing out flyers at the New York Film Festival screening of “You Can See Everything” also points to ElHosseiny’s flair as a showman, perhaps more than his alleged scientific breakthrough — which, like everything in Holmes’ orbit, requires a healthy dose of skepticism. ElHosseiny claims to be a filmmaker who offered $1 million to executive produce an adaptation of John Carreyrou’s novel “Bad Blood” when there were talks for Adam McKay to direct an adaptation starring Jennifer Lawrence. He also filmed an odd, fictional test trial, using “real court transcripts,” that he claims proves the legitimacy of his medical technology for a venture called Opreme Films.
Another reason why ElHosseiny sees similarities between his and Holmes’ goals? He claims to have been wrongfully convicted, like he believes Holmes to be.
“I was wrongfully convicted for shooting into an occupied vehicle and attempted second-degree murder when all I did was shoot three shots into the air while I was being robbed,” he said. “I was wrongfully accused when I was 18. I took a plea when I was 20 years old, and I didn’t reopen my case till 2020. The pain of being wrongfully convicted is a pain you cannot explain. Through this process, I am now representing myself because no lawyer would take my case. I kind of understand now why people who are locked up usually help somebody else, because going through your case is really highly emotional, especially the way I was treated.”
ElHosseiny hasn’t watched “You Can See Everything” yet, but “I’ve heard that it’s magnificent.” However, he has seen Hulu’s 2022 limited series “The Dropout,” starring Amanda Seyfried as Holmes, and has major issues with it.
“Episode 3 is the biggest lie I’ve ever seen in my life. They portrayed her going into this cancer place in Tennessee, and the machine wasn’t working,” he said, before walking away from the interview. “Her test was correct on the cancer study. So tell me why in Hulu you are portraying somebody who faked cancer tests. Tell me why.”
