Holmes, 38, who is pregnant, tearfully told the court she felt 'deep pain' for victims of the start-up.
Elizabeth Holmes, a former Silicon Valley tech CEO, has been sentenced to over 11 years for fraud.
She was found guilty in January of duping investors and lying about the technology after a three-month trial. Once hailed as the "next Steve Jobs", Holmes was at one time said to be the world's youngest self-made billionaire. 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.
Holmes and Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, her former business partner and lover, were charged in 2018 of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Balwani, who was tried separately, was found guilty of fraud this summer. He will be sentenced next month. The group noted that Holmes is a young mother. She had a son in July 2021 and is currently pregnant with her second child.
