Elizabeth Holmes’ criminal fraud trial related to Theranos began with jury selection on August 31, 2021 in the Northern District of California, matching the podcast’s timing for an August 2021 start. (en.wikipedia.org) On January 3, 2022, the jury found Holmes guilty on four counts (three counts of wire fraud against investors and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud), i.e., she was convicted on multiple felony fraud charges. (en.wikipedia.org) On November 18, 2022, Judge Edward Davila sentenced her to 135 months (11 years, 3 months) in federal prison. (justice.gov) She was ordered to surrender and subsequently reported to the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, on May 30, 2023, to begin serving her sentence, meaning she was in fact sent to prison as predicted. (cnbc.com) As of 2025 she remains incarcerated there. (people.com) Given that Holmes was both convicted and imprisoned following the trial that started in August 2021, Jason’s prediction is substantively accurate.
