0:00.0 | Hi, it's Rebecca. We have been on a long journey together following Elizabeth Holmes, tracing |
0:07.7 | her story from Stanford dropout to Silicon Valley star to disgraced convict. And now it is |
0:14.6 | judgment day. |
0:16.4 | Today's bonus episode of the dropout is about the sentencing of Elizabeth Holmes. In fact, |
0:23.1 | it just happened only a few minutes ago. |
0:26.7 | Elizabeth Holmes has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison, 135 months, plus three |
