TL;DR Summary

Elizabeth Holmes, former CEO of Theranos, has lost her latest bid to avoid prison and has been hit with a $452 million restitution bill. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected her attempt to remain free while she tries to overturn her conviction in a blood-testing hoax. U.S. District Judge Edward Davila ordered Holmes to pay the restitution to the victims of her crimes. Holmes is being held jointly liable for that amount with her former lover and top Theranos lieutenant, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, who is already in prison after being convicted on a broader range of felonies in a separate trial.
