Former Theranos Executive Sunny Balwani to Serve Prison Time for Conviction.
Former Theranos executive Sunny Balwani is set to begin his nearly 13-year prison sentence for his role in the blood-testing hoax he engineered with Elizabeth Holmes. Balwani's request to remain free while appealing his conviction on 12 counts of fraud and conspiracy was denied by a federal judge. Meanwhile, Holmes is still fighting to remain free while she appeals her conviction. Balwani will serve his prison term near a Southern California harbor instead of the Atlanta facility that he had been initially assigned.
