Apparently, Elizabeth Holmes was hoping to make a break for it before heading to prison!
In case you didn’t know, the 38-year-old was convicted on January 3, 2022, for defrauding investors out of millions through her healthcare start-up Theranos. She falsely purported that its revolutionary technology could run hundreds of medical tests with just a couple of drops of blood. Things later came to a head for Holmes when the Wall Street Journal reported in 2015 that the machines she was selling, called The Edison, never really worked. Instead of using their supposed machines, the company actually used outside technology and other trickery in order to fake positive test results. As a result of the expose, federal law enforcement began to investigate Holmes and later indicted her in 2018. You know, it’s the true crime case Amanda Seyfried’s The Dropout is about!

While on trial, her attorneys attempted to convince jurors that she didn’t know anything and never meant to defraud her investors. The disgraced founder even testified that her judgment was off because she was in the middle of an abusive relationship with former Theranos executive Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. Her lawyer, Kevin Downey, also said Holmes never cashed out stock even when the company started to hurt financially.
However, the jury wasn’t buying it. They later found her guilty of three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. This past November, Holmes was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. While she has since appealed the conviction and will start her sentence on April 27, prosecutors are demanding that she not be allowed to remain free on bail. Why
