A court has ruled that disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes must report to prison while she appeals against her fraud conviction.
Holmes, 39, had asked a judge to remain free while she fought against her jail sentence for a blood-testing hoax.
She was sentenced to over 11 years in prison after a jury last year found her guilty of defrauding investors.
In a separate ruling, US District Judge Edward Davila also ordered Holmes to pay $452m (£363.8m) to victims.
She will split the multi-million dollar payment with her former romantic and business partner, ex-Theranos boss Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani.
Holmes had been previously ordered to surrender to authorities on April 27. The judge will now set a new date for her to go to prison.
