Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes and COO, Sonny Balani were both found guilty of fraud in two separate criminal trials this year. They will both be sentenced later this year and could face decades in prison. A slight change of plans is created written and executive produced by me, Maya Shunker.
Hi Slight Changers — this past Friday, Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of the fraudulent biotech company Theranos was sentenced to 11.25 years in a Federal prison. I wanted to reshare my interview with Erika Cheung today. She had the courage to stand up for what was right and blow the whistle, even when her personal safety was at risk. Erika was instrumental in bringing Holmes to justice.
