US EditionTheranos founder Elizabeth Holmes loses bid to have appeal of fraud conviction reheard
- In May 2024, Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos, was denied a rehearing of her 2022 fraud conviction by a federal appeals panel.
- The denial follows Holmes's conviction for deceiving investors about Theranos's faulty blood-testing technology, with the court declining to have the full panel review the case.
- Holmes has been serving an 11-year federal prison sentence at a Texas facility since May 30, 2023, and she has been advising her partner Billy Evans on an early-stage biotech startup called Haemanthus.
- The startup Haemanthus, named for the 'blood flower,' focuses on using Raman spectroscopy and light detection technology to develop AI-guided medical tests for biological materials like sweat and saliva.
- With appeals exhausted, Holmes's conviction stands and leaves the U.S. Supreme Court as her only remaining option while she expresses intent to resume her biotech career after release.
