Disgraced Theranos chief executive Elizabeth Holmes appears to be soon bound for prison in the US after an appeals court rejected her bid to remain free while she tries to overturn her conviction in a blood-testing hoax that brought her fleeting fame and fortune.In another ruling issued late on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), US District Judge Edward Davila ordered Holmes to pay $US452 million ($690 million) in restitution to the victims of her crimes.Holmes is being held jointly liable for that amount with her former lover and top Theranos lieutenant, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, who is already in prison after being convicted on a broader range of felonies in a separate trial.
