Holmes smiles behind bars with kids
22 Nov
Summary
- Elizabeth Holmes seen enjoying family time in prison.
- She is serving an 11-year sentence for Theranos fraud.
- Her former scientist's widow blames Holmes for his death.
Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos, has been observed enjoying family visits while serving her sentence at a minimum-security prison in Texas. The convicted fraudster was seen with her husband, Billy Evans, and their two young children. Holmes is currently incarcerated for defrauding investors in her defunct blood-testing company, Theranos, and is serving an 11-year sentence.
The circumstances of Holmes's imprisonment are contrasted with the tragic death of Theranos's chief scientist, Ian Gibbons, over a decade ago. His widow, Rochelle Gibbons, has publicly blamed Holmes for her husband's suicide, asserting that the pressure and deceit surrounding Theranos led to his demise. She stated that Holmes showed no remorse for her actions.
Despite the accusations and her sentence, Holmes has reportedly appeared relaxed during her time in prison, engaging in outdoor activities and family visits. She is housed at Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a facility known for holding non-violent offenders and which has also recently housed Ghislaine Maxwell. The contrast between Holmes's present situation and the past trauma remains a focal point.
