In an exclusive interview from prison with People magazine, convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes expressed her unwavering commitment to healthcare innovation. Despite her legal troubles, Holmes maintains her dedication to developing affordable healthcare solutions and continues to engage in research and inventions within the field.
During the interview, Holmes emphasized that she has consistently denied the fraud charges against her. “I refused to plead guilty to crimes I did not commit,” she stated. “Theranos failed, but failure is not fraud.”
Currently serving a reduced nine-year sentence at a federal prison camp in Texas for her 2022 fraud conviction, Holmes reflected on her life behind bars. She mentioned that her partner in the now-defunct Theranos, Sunny Balwani, is serving a 13-year sentence for related charges.
