Posted by Elizabeth Holmes, who is currently in jail for fraud charges, claims she has continued to work on healthcare inventions while behind bars. Additionally, she acknowledged making “many mistakes” as she speaks with The New York Times in her first post-trial interview.
‘I made so many mistakes and there was so much I didn’t know and understand, Holmes was quoted as saying in the interview.
She added, ‘And I feel like when you do it wrong, it’s like you internalize it deeply. I still dream about being able to contribute in that space. I still feel the same calling to it as I always did and I still think the need is there.” Holmes also admitted to putting up appearances during her time at Theranos to be taken seriously.
The former CEO continued, ‘I believed it would be how I would be good at business and taken seriously and not taken as a little girl or a girl who didn’t have good technical ideas,” she said. Maybe people picked up on that not being authentic since it wasn’t.’ So far, critics have slammed the New York Times for providing a platform for Holmes.
Critics accused the publication of offering the ex-CEO, convicted on multiple counts of defrauding investors in her blood-testing starting, a chance to embellish her image.
However, Holmes postponed her prison term for defrauding Silicon Valley investors by filing another appeal. She was expected to begin serving her 11.25-year sentence on April 27 but informed US district judge Edward Davila t she had appealed his earlier order to start her sentence. Holmes, who started Theranos after dropping out of Stanford University at 19, has two children, one before her 2021 trial and the other after her November sentencing.
The Theranos founder was found guilty of defrauding investors of over $100 million on four out of 11 charges in January 2022. As a result, her company collapsed.
