A new startup called Haemanthus, which may have been in the works for several years now, has reportedly raised millions of dollars already, and the general outlines of it are strikingly similar to the disgraced Theranos, which Elizabeth Holmes co-founded with Sunny Balwani over two decades ago.

In a ruling that perhaps only Elizabeth Holmes herself was optimistic about, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied Elizabeth Holmes's attempt to see her fraud conviction overturned.

Today is the agreed-upon day for Elizabeth Holmes to report to federal prison in Bryan, Texas — the same minimum-security facility where "Real Housewife" Jen Shah is serving time.

The Ninth Circuit also handed down a decision yesterday denying Holmes's bid to remain free pending her appeal. And her legal team is now asking for a prison-reporting date of May 30.

As they await the near-guaranteed denial of her appeal to the Ninth Circuit, attorneys for convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes have made another legal maneuver that appears to give her another few weeks of freedom.

As she awaits the near-inevitable denial of her appeal to the Ninth Circuit, after which she will get a new prison reporting date, Elizabeth Holmes is relaxing in San Diego, bonding with her newborn, and apparently trying to rehabilitate the public perception of herself.

With few options left but one last legal reprieve available, Elizabeth Holmes has avoided having to report to prison tomorrow, but she likely won't avoid it for long.

Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, the 57-year-old former COO of Theranos who was convicted last year — like his former business partner Elizabeth Holmes — of defrauding investors in their blood-testing startup, is set to enter prison today.

A federal judge on Monday, fairly predictably, rejected Elizabeth Holmes's semi-final bid to delay her check-in date for prison, but no doubt her high-priced lawyers have one more appeal in them.

The federal judge who sentenced Elizabeth Holmes last fall to 11 years in prison heard arguments Friday morning on whether Holmes should have to pay restitution to Theranos investors, and on whether she will be able to delay entering prison.

Yeah, so, Elizabeth Holmes doesn't really think she should have to pay back the bilked investors who lost money because of Theranos's collapse, and her lawyers' latest gambit is to try to get out of her having to pay any restitution at all.

A federal judge has deemed the actions of former Theranos President and COO Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani to be a little bit more egregious than his partner in fraud Elizabeth Holmes — two years' worse, to be exact.

After a federal judge last week denied Elizabeth Holmes a new trial, quashing a last-ditch — and highly aggressive — effort by her defense team to keep her out of prison longer, it all comes down to her sentence.
