Disgraced biotech company founder is now due to be released in August 2032, two years and four months before original date

Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former chief executive of the blood-testing company Theranos, has had her federal prison sentence shortened again, new records show.

The 40-year-old Holmes is now scheduled for release on 16 August 2032 from a federal women’s prison camp in Bryan, Texas, according to the US Bureau of Prisons website.

Holmes’s sentence was reduced by more than four months, as her previous release date was set for 29 December 2032.

A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons confirmed Holmes’s amended sentence to the Guardian but said he could not comment further due to “privacy, safety and security reasons” for inmates.

This is the second time  that Holmes has had her sentence shortened. In July, was reduced by two years.

People incarcerated in the US can have their sentences shortened for good conduct and for completing rehabilitation programs, such as a substance abuse program.

    Who cares, honestly?

    Everyone chomping at the bit to have her punished doesn’t understand that she was mostly screwing over rich people who screw you over every day.

      Tell that to her victims at Walgreens who grieved when they were falsely told they had suffered a miscarriage or who were told they were HIV positive.

        If you look at the parent’s comment history, they appear to be generally saying things aimed at getting a rise out of people, and are pretty consistently downvoted. I believe that they’re a troll (in the original sense of the term, using flamebait to troll for bites, as in trolling for fish). They’re wanting a reaction.

        I’d probably just downvote and move on, not engage.

          Are you sure you’re doing a proper job of this? I think you could get a lot more of the angry replies you crave if you put in the effort i know you’re capable of
