Per WSJ: Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos Inc., was sentenced to 135 months, or 11.25 years, in prison, capping the extraordinary downfall of a one-time Silicon Valley wunderkind.
U.S. District Judge Edward Davila, who oversaw the months long trial in which Ms. Holmes was convicted of running a years long fraud scheme at her blood-testing company, delivered the sentence Friday in federal court.
Ms. Holmes, 38 years old, has asked for a sentence of home confinement and community service, and no more than 18 months in prison. Prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence, a three-year supervised release and more than $800 million in restitution.
