New York CNN —Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, the former chief operating officer of failed startup Theranos and ex-boyfriend of founder Elizabeth Holmes, has reported to prison, according to his attorney.
“Mr Balwani turned himself in… smoothly without incident,” Jeffrey Coopersmith, Balwani’s attorney, said in an email to CNN on Thursday.
Holmes was also convicted on multiple counts of defrauding investors and has been ordered to turn herself in on April 27.
Balwani, nearly 20 years older than Holmes, first met her in 2002 before she dropped out of Stanford.
He served as an informal adviser to Holmes in Theranos’ earliest days and the two became romantically involved.
