U.S. District Judge Edward Davila set the date on Wednesday for Holmes, 39, to begin serving 11 years and three months in prison.

Balwani countered that probation, meaning no prison time, is sufficient, citing his own investment losses in a company once valued at $9 billion, and saying he never sought the “fame or media attention” that Holmes attracted as Theranos’ public face.

Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes will serve 11 years in prison on four counts of fraud, according to her sentencing by a federal judge in a California courtroom on Friday afternoon.

Prosecutors, who are seeking a 15-year prison sentence, called Holmes’ fraud “among the most substantial white collar offenses Silicon Valley or any other district has seen.”
