Getting Acquainted With Our New Workplace Columnist
  + stars: | 2024-06-22 | by ( Stefano Montali | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. Some writers aim to develop one area of expertise over the course of their careers. “Let’s put it this way: I don’t have a beat,” Ms. Holmes said. Ms. Holmes is the incoming writer of Work Friend, a column published by the Sunday Business section of The New York Times. It is a formula she’s used to, having explored workplace culture in Sad Desk Salad, a column for Bloomberg Businessweek.

Holmes was sentenced to 11 years in prison for defrauding investors in her failed blood-testing company, Theranos. She is seeking a new trial, arguing that the judge in her case erred in several decisions during the 2022 proceedings. Since her conviction, her projected release date from prison has been moved up, shaving about two years off her sentence. Theranos’ unraveling, and Holmes herself, became the subject of a bestselling book, a Hulu scripted series and an award-winning documentary. Holmes knowingly concealed the technology’s problems, and still pushed to get the company’s Edison devices into pharmacies, prosecutors argued.

The Lions Are No Longer the NFL’s Turkeys

Brad Holmes had been the Detroit Lions general manager for just a couple of weeks when he made the move that determined whether he would succeed at his new job—or set a woebegone franchise back even further. Holmes’s counterintuitive idea to turn around the team began with trading away the team’s most valuable player. But the deal in 2021 that gave up quarterback Matthew Stafford didn’t send the Lions into the type of painstaking rebuild that can take years, if it ever works at all. It actually allowed them to short-circuit that process and become a Super Bowl contender faster than anyone imagined.

David Holmes and Daniel Radcliffe Photo: HBO“The gift that keeps on taking” is how the inexplicably good-humored David Holmes describes his broken neck, suffered during the making of the “ Harry Potter ” films, on which he had served as principal stunt double for Daniel Radcliffe . Mr. Radcliffe, who is a major presence in and force behind the documentary “David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived,” helps tell the story of Mr. Holmes’s journey from movie set to wheelchair, one that might have left a viewer a tear-stained wretch except for the camaraderie on display, and the enchantment of lifelong friendships. David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived Wednesday, 9 p.m., HBOAs Mr. Radcliffe tells us, he all but grew up with Mr. Holmes, who was just a few years older than the 11-year-old unknown selected to play Harry Potter—“the boy who lived,” as Potter fans well know—and who served as a mentor-hero for the admittedly unathletic actor. Much of what Harry did on screen—flying through the air, piloting broomsticks through Quidditch games, being hurled through walls by Nagini the giant snake—Mr. Holmes actually did, as a young man who was small for his age but prodigiously talented as a gymnast and gifted with the kind of physical genius envied by those of us who lack it.

Ms. Holmes has appealed her case, though her requests to remain out of prison during the appeal have been denied. Ms. Holmes founded Theranos in 2003 after dropping out of Stanford University at age 19. Ms. Holmes and Mr. Balwani were indicted that year. Mr. Balwani was convicted on 12 counts of fraud and is serving a nearly 13-year sentence in a federal prison in San Pedro, Calif. Since her conviction, Ms. Holmes has been living in a rental home in San Diego near the family of Billy Evans, who is the father of her two children.

Liz Holmes Wants You to Forget About Elizabeth

Ms. Holmes said she believed that making herself the poster girl for women in tech put a huge target on her back. “I’m still thinking about the journalists being intimidated,” Ms. Holmes said after we’d moved on to several other topics. This kind of misguided talk is the one consistent thread in my reporting on who Ms. Holmes really is. In the waning days of Theranos, Ms. Holmes got a dog, a Siberian husky named Balto. It’s the same way Ms. Holmes kept hanging on at Theranos.
Elizabeth Holmes’s Prison-Reporting Date Is Delayed

Photo: Peter DaSilva/ShutterstockElizabeth Holmes , the disgraced Theranos founder convicted of criminal fraud, doesn’t have to report to prison Thursday. Ms. Holmes appealed her guilty verdict to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in December and this week asked it directly if she could stay out of prison while her case makes its way through the appeals process, according to a legal filing Wednesday. The request automatically puts Ms. Holmes’s reporting date on hold while the court considers her request.
U.S. District Judge Edward Davila sentenced Holmes to 11 years and three months in prison in November. "Contrary to her suggestion that accuracy and reliability were central issues to her convictions, Ms. Holmes’s misrepresentations to Theranos investors involved more than just whether Theranos technology worked as promised," he said. In denying the release appeal, Davila noted that Holmes was unlikely to flee or endanger the community. Prosecutors said during the trial that Holmes misrepresented Theranos' technology and finances. On appeal, Holmes plans to challenge several of the judge's rulings, including his allowance of evidence about Theranos' test accuracy that postdated her statements to investors.
The federal judge who oversaw the criminal-fraud trial of Theranos Inc. founder Elizabeth Holmes denied her request to stay out of prison while she appeals her guilty verdict. Ms. Holmes was found guilty on three counts of fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit fraud against Theranos investors in January 2022. Judge Davila sentenced her in November to more than 11 years in prison and ordered her to surrender to prison April 27. She now could take her request directly to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has already denied Ramesh “ Sunny” Balwani ’s request to stay out of prison while he appeals his conviction for defrauding Theranos investors and patients.
Richaun Holmes of the Sacramento Kings. Sacramento Kings forward Richaun Holmes sued the Sacramento Bee’s parent company, McClatchy Co., and Bee opinion writer Robin Epley for defamation over articles that included Mr. Holmes’s ex-wife’s allegations of domestic and child abuse. The National Basketball Association player has retained Camille Vasquez, lawyer to actor Johnny Depp and other celebrities, in his fight against McClatchy and other defendants, including Allexis Holmes, whom he divorced in 2019.
Elizabeth Holmes is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, and the Theranos Inc. founder could be joining a list of notable white-collar criminals to serve time in prison. Ms. Holmes was convicted in January on four counts of criminal fraud for deceiving investors while running a yearslong scheme at Theranos, the blood-testing startup where she was chief executive.
A federal judge denied Elizabeth Holmes ’s bid for a new trial, the latest setback for the Theranos Inc. founder who was convicted of fraud in January. U.S. District Judge Edward Davila , who oversaw Ms. Holmes’s trial which began last year, said in a ruling late Monday that the arguments in her three motions for a new trial didn’t introduce material new evidence or establish government misconduct, adding that a new trial was unlikely to result in an acquittal.
Elizabeth Holmes, center, is asking for a new trial after she was convicted in January on four counts of fraud. Lawyers for Adam Rosendorff, the former Theranos Inc. lab director who testified against founder Elizabeth Holmes in her criminal-fraud trial, asked a judge Wednesday to reject a subpoena from Ms. Holmes as she seeks a new trial. Dr. Rosendorff emerged as a central witness for the prosecution in a monthslong trial of Ms. Holmes, who was convicted in January on four counts of wire fraud and conspiracy for misleading investors about the blood-testing startup’s technology.
