It's not clear why the former head of Theranos got a reduced sentence, but she's now scheduled to get out of prison in 2032.
Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of blood testing company Theranos, is now scheduled to be released from prison on Dec. 29, 2032, according to records from the Bureau of Prisons. That's two years off her initial sentence.
Holmes began her 11-year-and-three-month sentence at a minimum-security women's prison camp, Federal Prison Camp Bryan, in Texas on May 30. With the Bureau's updated date, the now 39-year-old will have instead served nine years, six months and 29 days at the time of her release. It's not clear why Holmes' term was shortened; the Bureau did not respond to a request for comment by Scripps News. But inmates can be released early for a variety of reasons like good conduct, jail-time credit, program completion and more.The former CEO was convicted last year on counts of conspiracy and fraud related to her company, Theranos.
She continued to deny the crimes during trial, though she admitted to making mistakes during the company's run. She and former Theranos COO Ramesh"Sunny" Balwani were ultimately ordered to pay $452 million in restitution to the defrauded investors. Holmes has been ordered to pay up to $250 per month to Theranos' victims, though her attorneys argued she shouldn't have to pay due to"limited financial resources." They did appear not to object to a request she pay $25 each quarter while in prison as part of her restitution payments.Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com
