Former Theranos executive Ramesh 'Sunny' Balwani found an escape hatch from the scheduled start of his nearly 13-year prison sentence for a blood-testing hoax he engineered with his former boss and lover.
Just hours before Balwani was supposed to surrender to authorities, his lawyer filed documents notifying U.S. District Judge Edward Davila that he wouldn't be doing so.
That's because Balwani, 57, has been free on bail since a jury convicted him last July, triggering a clause that allows him to remain out of prison until the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals weighs in on Davila's ruling issued last week, according to the notice filed by Balwani's attorney, Jeffrey Coopersmith.Terminal Island prison
The change means Balwani will be in the Terminal Island prison located in San Pedro, California, located about 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles. The prison has incarcerated several other prominent figures, including gangster Al Capone in the 1930s, apocalyptic cult leader Charles Manson for an auto theft in the 1950s and LSD evangelist Timothy Leary in the 1970s.
