• Holmes was originally sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in prison in 2022, but her sentence was reduced to 10 years and 3 months due to retroactive sentencing guideline changes and earned time under the First Step Act; her release date is now set for February 22, 2030.
• Holmes was convicted of three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for deceiving investors about Theranos's blood-testing technology, and she reported to prison in May 2023.
