Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes jailed for fraud
Elizabeth Holmes , a disgraced former Silicon Valley tech CEO, has been sentenced to over 11 years for fraud.
Her company Theranos was once valued at $9bn (£7. 5bn). She falsely claimed The Firm 's technology could diagnose disease with just a few drops of blood.
She was found guilty in January of duping investors and lying about The technology after a three-month trial.
Holmes is expected to appeal The Sentence , which was handed down on Friday in a California court.
The sentencing of The 38-year-old has been widely viewed as a test of how seriously The justice system takes corporate fraud in The tech sector.
Once hailed as The " next Steve Jobs" Holmes was at One Time said to be The World 's youngest self-made billionaire.
She launched Theranos after dropping out of Stanford University at age 19, and its value rose sharply after The Company claimed it could bring about a revolution in The diagnosing of disease.
But The technology Holmes touted did not work at all and - awash in lawsuits - The Company was dissolved by 2018.
At Holmes' trial in San Jose , California, prosecutors said she knowingly misled doctors and patients about The Theranos flagship Product - The Edison Machine - which The Company claimed could detect cancer, diabetes and other conditions using just a few drops of blood.
They also accused Holmes of vastly exaggerating The Firm 's performance to its financial backers.
Jurors ultimately found her guilty on four counts of fraud, with a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. But they found her Not Guilty on four other charges, and failed to reach a verdict on three more.
Before Judge Edward Davila issued his sentence on Friday, Holmes read a speech to The Court in which she tearfully apologised to investors and patients.
" I Am devastated by my failings. I have felt deep pain for what people went through, because I failed them, " She Said .
" I regret my failings with every cell of My Body , " she continued.
