Apparently the "No verdict" might get declared a mistrial on 3 counts.

For those unaware John Carreyrou played a major role in exposing Holmes. His book is a good read: Bad Blood and host of Bad Blood: The Final Chapter

> And the judge will probably declare a mistrial as to the 3 counts they couldn’t reach consensus on.

> The 4 guilty counts are all investor counts. The investor conspiracy count and the counts relating to the hedge fund PFM, the ex Cravath attorney Mosley and the DeVos family.

EDIT: Mistrial only on those 3 counts which got no verdict, not the full trial. Also this is only if the Feds want to do it or now which will also depend upon how many years Holmes gets as well as if she just decides to plead guilty on those 3 charges.
