Sunny Balwani, the former president and chief operating officer of Theranos, began his prison sentence in April 2023. He is currently housed at FCI Lompoc II, a low-security federal correctional institution located in Lompoc, California.
Balwani, who was found guilty on 12 counts of fraud related to the Theranos scheme, is scheduled for release on April 21, 2033. This date marks the conclusion of his 12-year sentence stemming from his conviction for defrauding investors, doctors, and patients.
His incarceration follows the conviction of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who was sentenced to 11 years for her role in the fraudulent blood-testing startup. The rise and fall of Theranos has been the subject of extensive media coverage, including documentaries and television series.
Balwani and Holmes had a complex relationship, beginning when they met in Beijing in 2002. They later lived together and maintained a romantic relationship unknown to many within Theranos. Balwani provided a $13 million personal loan to the company before officially joining as president and COO in 2009.
