["Female version of Jobs" went to jail, Silicon Valley blood test founder began to serve 11 years in prison] #Silicon Valley blood cancer test founder reported to prison ## female version of Jobs reported to prison #
On Tuesday, local time in the United States, the "female version of Jobs", Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the blood testing company Theranos, was officially imprisoned, beginning an 11-year and 3-month prison career.
Theranos once claimed to be able to quickly detect whether a person has cancer, diabetes and other diseases by collecting a few drops of blood from the fingertip, which is considered to have "set off a revolution in disease diagnosis", with a valuation of $9 billion. But after the scam was exposed, Theranos fell off the altar and closed down. Last January, Holmes was convicted of four counts. Then in November of that year, Holmes was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison for defrauding investors.
A spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed that Holmes arrived at Bryan Prison Tuesday afternoon local time.
After being imprisoned, Holmes' life will change dramatically. She will move from a mansion with a monthly rent of $13,000 to a small cell without a door. She needs to wake up at 6 a.m. and work for just 12 cents an hour, a far cry from what she earned when she ran Theranos. Inmates at the prison are already looking forward to Holmes' arrival, and some even want to be her friends. @凤凰网科技 "Female version of Jobs" went to jail The founder of Silicon Valley blood cancer test began to serve 11 years in prison_Phoenix Network Technology_Phoenix.com
