Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes reported to prison Tuesday to begin her sentence.
Holmes, 39, has two young children with her current partner, William "Billy" Evans. Her second child was born earlier this year after her sentencing in November 2022.
A federal jury in San Jose, California, convicted Holmes on four counts of defrauding investors in Theranos, the company she dropped out of Stanford University to found in 2003. In another ruling this month, Davila ordered Holmes and former Theranos executive Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani payBalwani and Holmes, former romantic partners, helmed Theranos during its meteoric rise.
Holmes' saga began when she dreamed of running hundreds of laboratory tests with just a finger prick of blood. The idea was to make blood tests cheaper, more convenient and accessible to consumers, but Theranos' technology ultimately proved to be faulty and unreliable. Patients were given inaccurate test results relating to conditions such as HIV, cancer and miscarriages. In closing arguments during Holmes' trial, prosecutors argued she "chose fraud" over "failure."
