NBC News • • business
Key Points:
- Elizabeth Holmes, convicted of defrauding investors through her failed company Theranos, is scheduled for transfer from a low-security federal prison to a halfway house in August 2027, according to victim Alan Eisenman.
- Holmes was sentenced in 2022 to 11 years and three months in prison and ordered to pay $452 million in restitution to 12 victims, but Eisenman has yet to receive any payment.
- The Department of Justice notified victims of Holmes' planned transfer, but the Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on her confinement details citing security policies.
- Holmes' sentence was reduced from 135 to 123 months earlier this year, despite government opposition citing her lack of acceptance of responsibility and potential to reoffend.
- A documentary about Holmes, filmed before her imprisonment, is set for release soon and has raised concerns among victims about potentially sympathetic portrayals of her character.
