Elizabeth Holmes along with a former top Theranos executive Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani was convicted for defrauding investors. The duo were accused of duping some of the world's richest and prominent investors into backing Theranos

Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theranos, has begun her 11 years of prison term. She has reported to the federal facility in Bryan, Texas that holds about 600 to 700 inmates.
Holmes could be seen escorted by a police official to the federal prison facility.&nbsp;
"We can confirm Elizabeth Holmes has arrived at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan... and is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons," the authority said in a brief statement
Elizabeth Holmes along with a former top Theranos executive Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani was convicted for defrauding investors. Balwani is now spending a 13 year jail term in California and was earlier ordered to pay $452m to victims. The duo were accused of duping some of the world's richest and prominent investors into backing Theranos.
Some of the investors include media baron Rupert Murdoch, Oracle founder Larry Ellison and pharmacy chain Walgreens. The board of the firm also consisted of former top US government officials Henry Kissinger, George Shultz and Jim Mattis.
However, things took a turn when The Wall Street Journal did an investigative report on the validity of the tests. Theranos was working on perfecting an easy-to-use test kit that could carry out a wide range of medical diagnostics with just a few drops of blood. The firm promised that the Edison test could detect conditions such as cancer and diabetes quickly without the hassle of needles. However, it was discovered that the technology didn't work at all.
The firm that once was valued at $9 billion, collapsed in 2018.&nbsp;

Theranos fraud: Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to 11 years in prison

The closely watched case became an indictment of Silicon Valley, and US federal prosecutors had sought a 15-year jail term for Holmes. She was sentenced to 135 months.

Fallen US biotech star Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced Friday to just over 11 years in prison for defrauding investors with her Silicon Valley start-up firm.
The Theranos founder had been convicted on four felony fraud counts in January for persuading investors that she had developed a revolutionary medical device before the company flamed out after an investigation by The Wall Street Journal.
The closely watched case became an indictment of Silicon Valley, and US federal prosecutors had sought a 15-year jail term for Holmes. She was sentenced to 135 months.
US attorney Stephanie Hinds said the sentence "reflects the audacity of her massive fraud and the staggering damage she caused."

"For almost a decade, Elizabeth Holmes fabricated and spread elaborate falsehoods to draw in a legion of capital investors, both big and small, and her deceit caused the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars," the prosecutor said in a statement following the judge's decision.
Holmes, who is pregnant, will not have to surrender herself until April next year, ordered US District Judge Edward Davila in a courtroom in San Jose, California.
Holmes's lawyer indicated she will appeal her conviction.
Moments before her sentencing, a tearful Holmes told the court: "I stand before you taking responsibility for Theranos. I loved Theranos. It was my life's work."
She added: "I am devastated by my failings. Every day for the past years I have felt deep pain for what people went through because I failed them."
"I gave everything I had to building our company and trying to save our company."

<h3>Startup to scandal</h3>
Then in October, the Wall Street Journal published an&nbsp;eye-catching&nbsp;investigation&nbsp;into Theranos, finding that the company's revolutionary claims were overblown.
