"One person familiar with the matter said Theranos now has about $150 million or less in cash, excluding the ($40 million) debt" You can run a company for quite a while on $110M, even in Silicon Valley.

They weren't banned by FDA, they were banned by CMS. And the ban was on conducting tests only. They're still allowed to develop test equipment to sell to other companies that will actually perform the tests. But the scrutiny they
