Former Theranos executive Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani will be heading to prison later this month after an appeals court rejected his bid to remain free while he contests his conviction for carrying out a blood-testing hoax with his former boss and lover, Elizabeth Holmes.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision late Thursday refusing Balwani's request to delay the start of his nearly 13-year prison sentence still leaves open the question of when he will have to surrender to authorities.
