Authored by theguardian.com

Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former chief executive of the blood-testing company Theranos, has had her federal prison sentence shortened again, new records show.

Holmes’s sentence was reduced by more than four months, as her previous release date was set for 29 December 2032.

This is the second time that Holmes has had her sentence shortened.

In 2022, Holmes was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison after being convicted on four counts of defrauding investors.

Holmes founded Theranos, a multibillion-dollar biotech startup that claimed it could run blood tests with only a single drop of blood.

Balwani was convicted in a separate trial for his actions in the Theranos scheme, and he was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

He also had two years reduced from his sentence in July and will be released from federal prison on 1 April 2034, according to the prisons bureau website. »
