Medical startup founder Elizabeth Holmes begins 11-year prison sentence for fraud

Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, has begun serving her 11-year prison sentence at a minimum-security federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas after being convicted of defrauding investors and patients.
Holmes' former boyfriend and Theranos COO Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani was also convicted of fraud and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Holmes and Balwani falsely claimed Theranos' blood tests could detect various conditions using only a few drops of blood and will have to pay $452 million in restitution.
Holmes leaves behind two young children, a son born in July 2021 and a 3-month old daughter.
Actress Amanda Seyfried commented on the news, expressing sympathy for the children affected by the situation.
