Disgraced former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes could be out of prison several months earlier than expected, according to the projected release date posted by the Bureau of Prisons.
The Bureau of Prisons online database currently shows that Holmes expected release date from a Texas prison is August 16, 2032 a slight reduction from her previous release date of December 29, 2032.
Its her second reduction in less than a year: She previously had her 11-year-and-three-month sentence by about two years last July.

They can jail me - but not my money.

$billions basically means youre having to manage your money through a diverse set of accounts ya and financial devices. She had money managers working for her who undoubtedly took care of having some left.

(1,205 posts)Maybe the weirdo boyfriend shuffled some overseas, but Holmes herself was a bit of a dolt.

(7,579 posts)If she created a website or some gizmo consumer device, she'd just be an interesting footnote and probably out on the street.
Her mistake was in applying those fake it until you make it / smoke and mirrors / hyped up Silicon Valley formulas to a medical device where peoples' health and wellbeing were on the line.

Martha Stewart got prison for a sub $400 gain.
