SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes will remain free through the Memorial Day weekend before surrendering to authorities on May 30.

That would be the start of her more than 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors in a blood-testing scam.

A federal judge set Holmes' revised prison-reporting date after her lawyers proposed it in a Wednesday filing.

It came after a federal appeals court late Tuesday rejected her bid to remain out of prison while she attempts to overturn her conviction on four felony counts of fraud and conspiracy.

The punishment also includes a $452 million restitution. The 39-year-old Holmes will leave behind her two young children when she reports to prison.
