A judge ruled on Monday that Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes must surrender April 27 to serve her sentence for felony fraud, denying her request to stay home as she appeals her conviction.
In his ruling late Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila said he found Holmes was not a flight risk or danger to the community.
Holmes was previously ordered to self-surrender into federal custody on Apirl 27. She could still file a last-minute appeal with the Ninth Circuit, but that would likely only buy her a few more weeks of freedom, if that appeal is denied. Davila sentenced her in November, while she was pregnant with her second child. In December, Holmes appealed her conviction and sentence, noting in a court filing that she was convicted only of defrauding investors, and claiming that the court record "is teeming with issues for appeal."
Prosecutors opposed that request, arguing Holmes poses a flight risk and claiming she had tried to flee the country on a one-way ticket to Mexico after her conviction.
