Judge Orders Theranos Founder Elizabeth Holmes to Begin Prison Sentence, Denying Appeal for Bail

Elizabeth Holmes was convicted of investor fraud for her role as CEO at Theranos, a failed blood-testing startup.
The judge ruled that Holmes' appeal was unlikely to result in a reversal of her conviction or a new trial.
Holmes argued that the accuracy and reliability of Theranos' blood testing machines was the main cause of her conviction, but the judge rejected this argument.
Holmes must report to prison on April 27 to begin serving an 11-year sentence for her role in the Theranos fraud.
Her co-defendant and former romantic partner, Sunny Balwani, was also denied bail pending appeal and must report to prison on April 20.
