A judge ruled on Monday that Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes must surrender April 27 to serve her sentence for felony fraud, denying her request to stay home as she appeals her conviction.
U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila said he found Holmes was not a flight risk or danger to the community.
A jury convicted Holmes, 39, in January 2022 of four counts of defrauding investors in her now-defunct Palo Alto startup through false statements about her company. Holmes also asked Davila to delay her prison sentence until the appeal finishes, which could take up to a year.
