Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes again delays start of 11-year prison term

Lawyers for the disgraced entrepreneur told a judge she would not be turning herself in as she is appealing custody ruling

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has again delayed the start of her 11-year prison sentence for fraud charges, after appealing a previous decision that would have required her to turn herself in on 27 April.

Lawyers for Holmes, who is currently out on bail, informed US district judge Edward Davila on Wednesday that she will not be reporting to prison as scheduled, because she is appealing Davila's ruling that she remain in custody while it is determined whether she should get a new trial.
