Theranos exec Sunny Balwani sentenced to 13 years in prison for defrauding patients and investors
TechCrunchAPR 2 2023
Sunny Balwani was never part of defrauding Theranos' investors or its patients. He simply believed in the mission and technology of the company and worked tirelessly to make it a success. The individual prosecutors should have only focused on Holmes, who lied profusely about the efficacy of her invention.
The evidence was clear, which is why Balwani faced far more convictions than Holmes. Not only was he a top executive at Theranos during its heyday of fraudulent schemes, but he admitted to being responsible for everything in a text message to his former girlfriend.
