BRYAN, Texas — Former Theranos CEO, Elizabeth Holmes, arrived at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

A jury convicted Holmes last year on four counts of fraud for creating a fake blood testing company that prosecutors say she used to rake in billions from investors.

She's ordered to pay back nearly half a billion dollars in restitution.

Holmes is expected to serve the next 11 plus years in Bryan.

The former billionaire will be allowed to see her husband and children on weekends and holidays.

The Federal Prison Camp is a minimum security prison, that mostly sees white collar crimes and low-level drug crimes.
