A judge has sentenced a former partner of infamous fraudster Elizabeth Holmes to 13 years in prison for his involvement in a blood-testing hoax.
Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani was convicted in July of fraud and conspiracy after US tech start-up Theranos duped investors out of millions of dollars in a massive wire-transfer scheme.
He and chief executive Elizabeth Holmes had claimed to have invented a medical device which could detect a wide range diseases from only a few small drops of blood.
