A California judge has sentenced Elizabeth Holmes to more than 11 years in prison for multiple counts of fraud.
In court on Friday, prosecutors asked for a 15-year prison term, as well as restitution and a lengthy probation after her release. Holmes' probation officer pushed for a nine-year term.
Holmes' defense team, however, asked Judge Edward Davila to sentence her to just 18 months of incarceration followed by probation and community service.
More than 100 people — including Senator Cory Booker — had written letters to the judge, pleading for leniency in Holmes' sentencing.
In the end, judge Davila ruled that Holmes would spend 135 months in a federal prison. She will then serve 3 years of supervised release.
She was tried on 11 counts of fraud for claims made to investors and patients of her Silicon Valley blood-testing company, Theranos. The jury found Holmes guilty of four of the charges — three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Holmes was found not guilty of an additional four counts. The jury remained deadlocked on the other three charges, according to The New York Times.
Mr. Bankman-Fried personally gave more than $13 million to candidates and organizations of both parties in just this past midterm election cycle, and his PAC devoted more than $23 million to propping up the Democratic Party. His right-hand man, Ryan Salame, did much the same for the GOP; the party received almost $24 million from him, more than $12 million from his PAC.

Holmes, the subject of an HBO documentary as well as a Hulu miniseries starring Amanda Seyfried, has been awaiting her fate since her conviction in January.
She was tried on 11 counts of fraud for claims made to investors and patients of her Silicon Valley blood-testing company, Theranos. The jury found Holmes guilty of four of the charges — three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

People like that died is good. It can teach the "growth" mindset to the survivors!
