Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former Theranos CEO, has 'limited financial means' and should not be forced to pay US$250 a month to victims of her crimes after she is released from prison, her lawyers argued in a court filing on Monday.

Elizabeth Holmes, left, is escorted by prison officials into a federal women's prison camp in Bryan, Texas, on May 30, 2023.

The move from Holmes' attorneys comes after federal prosecutors said in a separate filing last week that "clerical errors" had resulted in no payment schedule being set for Holmes' restitution after she is released from prison. Holmes and former Theranos COO Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani were previously ordered to pay $452 million in restitution to victims of their crimes.Holmes reported to prison late last month in Texas to serve out her more than 11-year sentence.

In the latest filing, Holmes' attorneys argued "there is no basis in the record for the payment structure in the government's request," but did not object to her being asked to start paying $25 per quarter as part of her restitution while she is in prison.
