A court filing on Thursday found Elizabeth Holmes bought a one-way ticket to Mexico after she was found guilty on four counts of lying to investors last January.
"Only after the government raised this unauthorized flight with defense counsel was the trip canceled," prosecutors say.
The Thursday filing came as part of the government’s opposition to Holmes’ motion for release from detention pending an appeal of her sentencing. In November, a judge sentenced Holmes to more than 11 years in prison. U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila ordered Holmes to surrender herself into custody by April 27. It has not yet been determined where she would serve her sentence, but Davila has recommended a minimum-security prison camp in Texas.
This also illustrates my earlier point about the difference in treatment between SBF and Holmes. He’s under house arrest with a bracelet monitor while she’s free as a bird post conviction and sentencing.
