A US judge denied Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes' request to remain free on bail while she appeals her conviction on charges of defrauding investors in the failed blood-testing startup that was once valued at $9 billion
Holmes, who rose to fame after claiming Theranos' small machines could run an array of diagnostic tests with just a few drops of blood,U.S. District Judge Edward Davila sentenced Holmes to 11 years and three months in prison in November. Holmes asked Davila to postpone the sentence while the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reviews her case.
Holmes, who is scheduled to begin serving her sentence in April, may ask the 9th Circuit to grant bail. On appeal, Holmes plans to challenge several of the judge's rulings, including his allowance of evidence about Theranos' test accuracy that postdated her statements to investors.
