Federal prosecutors feared Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes would flee the country after she was convicted of fraud in 2022, according to new court documents.
In the court filings, prosecutors said they became aware on January 23, 2022, that Holmes purchased a flight to Mexico that was scheduled to leave on Jan. 26. without a return ticket.
"The government anticipates Defendant will note in reply that she did not in fact leave the country as scheduled—but it is difficult to know with certainty what Defendant would have done had the government not intervened," prosecutors said in court documents. Holmes' defense team emailed prosecutors on January 23, 2022, that stated her ticket was purchased before the verdict.
