Theranos founder was convicted on four counts of defrauding nearly $121m after her blood testing firm collapsed
A federal judge has sentenced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes to more than 11 years in prison over her role in the blood testing firm that collapsed after its technology was revealed to be largely fraudulent.
Holmes was convicted in January on four counts of defrauding investors. She appeared Friday afternoon at the San Jose, California, courthouse where her nearly four-month-long trial began in August 2021, alongside relatives and supporters, including her partner, Billy Evans.
