THERANOS FOUNDER OBJECTS TO $250 MONTHLY RESTITUTION SOUGHT BY US DUE TO LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Federal prosecutors want Elizabeth Holmes to pay $250 each month to victims of her failed blood testing startup after she leaves prison, but her attorneys are pushing back citing "limited financial resources" available to the disgraced founder of Theranos.

- 

The U.S. filed a motion last week asking the court to correct "clerical errors" which included, prosecutors said, the lack of a timeline for restitution from the one-time billionaire once she exits prison. Holmes' legal team objected to those changes this week.

Holmes, 39, began an 11-year sentence at a minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas, late last month after she and her former partner, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, were convicted of fraud for duping investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars while running Theranos, a Silicon Valley startup that promised to revolutionize health care.
