Disgraced Theranos Founder Elizabeth Holmes Begins 11-Year Prison Sentence

  • Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, has been spotted in her prison uniform for the first time since beginning her sentence.
  • She is expected to spend the next 11 years and three months in a minimum-security, all-female prison in Bryan, Texas.
  • Holmes was convicted in 2022 on four counts of fraud in connection with her medical startup that duped investors out of millions of dollars.
  • She will room with three other cellmates in a tight, concrete space.
  • Holmes' attorneys filed an appeal in April asking for a reduction in prison time, but her request to stay out of prison while she appeals the conviction was denied.
