Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes writes cryptic message from prison: ‘The truth will set you free’
Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes wrote a cryptic social media post from behind bars, in which she once again proclaimed her innocence and vowed, “The truth will set you free.”
Holmes, 42, lamented Sunday that she had been imprisoned for “1,216 endless days and nights” as she prepared to move into a halfway house.

“I have been silenced for a long time,” she writes. “And then imprisoned. I’m fighting to prove my innocence and come home to my babies and the love of my life.
I have now been imprisoned for 1,216 endless days and nights. During this time, as we struggled for freedom, my loved ones helped me manage my account.
“Billy is one of the people who bears this responsibility for me. He fights fiercely for me and our family. I love him beyond space and time.
“From now on, all posts written in my own words will be marked – EAH. »
Holmes then thanked her supporters who wrote to her while she was incarcerated, invoking the biblical quote.
“Opening letters from my supporters at the end of unforgiving days constantly lights the fire in my heart,” she wrote. “The truth will set you free. John 8:32. EAH.”
The mother of two also shared a pre-jail selfie with her 33-year-old husband Billy Evans.
Her head rested lovingly on her husband’s shoulder and she wore a casual outfit, completing her look with a dark blue Milwaukee Brewers baseball cap.
It’s unclear exactly when the photo was taken, but Holmes is currently being held at Bryan Federal Prison Camp — the same women’s-only minimum-security prison where Jeffrey Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, is incarcerated.
But Holmes will move into the Austin Transitional Center – a private, 460-bed “community correctional center” – in Del Valle, Texas, on August 23, 2027.
She will be supervised by the United States Probation Office.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons was unable to confirm Holmes’ transfer because it “does not discuss anyone’s conditions of confinement, including plans for release,” a spokesperson said in a statement to The Post.
“Additionally, consistent with BOP policy, specific designation information may only be released after an individual arrives at their designated institution,” the release said.
Residential reentry centers — more commonly known as halfway houses — provide assistance to inmates about to be released into the public and provide a supervised environment to support employment counseling, job placement and financial management assistance, according to the BOP.
Her decision comes as she has a still-pending commutation petition with the Trump administration, which she filed last year.
Holmes, the founder of the now-defunct blood-testing startup, was convicted in 2022 of four counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud investors. She was ordered to pay $452 million in restitution.
But she refused to plead guilty during her trial.
Prosecutors said Holmes lied to investors from 2010 to 2015 by promising that Theranos’ technology could perform numerous medical tests on a single drop of blood from a finger prick.
She was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison, but she will be able to be released on December 30, 2031, after serving one year of her sentence.
Despite her conviction, she maintains her innocence.
“I refused to plead guilty to crimes I didn’t commit,” she told People in February 2025.
The month Holmes spent before his prison sentence began will be documented in the Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim-directed film, “You Can See Everything,” which will be released October 16.
The film was recorded in secret – and its first screening was at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this month.
A trailer, which coincided with the screening, was released and in the clip, convicted liar Holmes tells her co-star, Fielder, “I’m not fooling you.”
