Walgreens Boots Alliance has reached a tentative settlement with consumers in Arizona and California who purchased Theranos blood tests at the drug store chain, Bloomberg reported.
The consumers alleged that Walgreens Boots (NASDAQ:WBA) was "willfully blind" to fraud that was going on at the company.

Theranos boasted that its blood tests could work with just a tiny amount of blood. The technology, promoted by founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes, did not work.
Holmes was found guilty of fraud last year and is set to report to prison for an 11-year sentence on May 30.
