Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, has lost her appeal of her fraud conviction as the Ninth Circuit Court upheld her over 11-year prison sentence. Holmes was convicted for misleading investors about her company's flawed blood-testing technology, which falsely claimed to conduct hundreds of tests with just a finger-prick sample. The court rejected her arguments that the trial proceedings were flawed, maintaining accountability in investor fraud. Holmes remains imprisoned and faces a substantial financial restitution obligation, capping a series of legal battles that began in 2018.
Holmes' conviction and sentencing upheld by the Ninth Circuit, affirming the legality of the trial process and her role in defrauding investors with Theranos.
The ruling emphasizes the importance of accountability for fraudulent behavior in high-stakes industries like health care, reminding the public of the devastating effects of deceit.
