@npr: Former tech executive Elizabeth Holmes is set to be released from federal prison early. Holmes ran the blood-testing startup Theranos that was once the darling of Silicon Valley, but in 2022, a jury sentenced her to 11 years in prison after finding she'd defrauded investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars by deceiving them that Theranos could revolutionize healthcare with just a pinprick of blood. She was scheduled to be released in 2030, but her sentence has been reduced several times. A new notice sent to Holmes’ investor victims from the Bureau of Prisons shows she is set to be moved to a half-way house next year. It’s unclear what led to her partial freedom. Holmes has been trending online since comedian Nathan Fielder premiered a documentary called “You Can See Everything” in which Holmes and her family let Fielder live with them in the weeks before she turned herself in.

No tech bro has done the same thing went to prison. She never stopped trying to make it work. Only the woman went to prison. If only men and women were held to the same standard in Silicon Valley
