Disgraced biotech company founder is now due to be released in August 2032, two years and four months before original date
Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former chief executive of the blood-testing company Theranos, has had her federal prison sentence shortened again, new records show.
The 40-year-old Holmes is now scheduled for release on 16 August 2032 from a federal women’s prison camp in Bryan, Texas, according to the US Bureau of Prisons website.
Holmes’s sentence was reduced by more than four months, as her previous release date was set for 29 December 2032.
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons confirmed Holmes’s amended sentence to the Guardian but said he could not comment further due to “privacy, safety and security reasons” for inmates.
This is the second time that Holmes has had her sentence shortened. In July, was reduced by two years.
People incarcerated in the US can have their sentences shortened for good conduct and for completing rehabilitation programs, such as a substance abuse program.
Disagree on her being broken. She’s a con artist not a mass murderer who was abused from childhood and failed repeatedly by the larger world.

She’s only in prison because she cost rich people money. It has nothing to do with her endangering lives.

She also hasn’t had repercussions for defrauding individuals. She financially injured Walgreens. That’s why she is in jail and the other people you mention are not.
We don’t take rehabilitation seriously in the US. Prison is simply out of sight, out of mind.
Plus a big dose of vengeance, they need to be treated like inhuman trash, they need to suffer for their crimes.
Treat a man like an animal long enough and you’ll train him to act like one.
