Holmes sought to commute her 11-1/4-year sentence last year and her request remains pending, according to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of the Pardon Attorney.

Now 41, Holmes was convicted in 2022 on four counts of wire fraud and conspiracy for cheating investors, and ordered to pay $452 million in restitution. A federal appeals court upheld her conviction and sentence last February.

Prosecutors said Holmes lied to investors from 2010 to 2015 by promising Theranos’ technology could run many medical tests on one blood drop from a finger prick.

Theranos was once valued at $9 billion, and Forbes magazine estimated Holmes’ net worth at $4.5 billion in 2015.

Holmes would still owe restitution if Trump released her from prison, but would not owe it, opens new tab if he pardoned her.

She is housed at a minimum security federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, and eligible for release in December 2031.

It sure has been a month in terms of comics news, hasn’t it? Here are some of the highlights–and lowlights–from the past couple of weeks. There’s a lot here, so buckle in.

News About DC and Marvel

• Terence Stamp, best known to superhero fans as the bombastic General Zod in Superman 2 (though I recommend giving The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert a watch), passed away on August 17.
• Erstwhile Superman Dean Cain continues to prove that he has never and will never understand the character. In early August, he announced that he had joined ICE so he could personally brutalize and terrorize innocent people, including children. Incidentally, if you have a few bucks to throw at RAICES or other immigrants’ rights organizations, now would be a good time.
• James Gunn’s Superman is out on digital already! Yay!
• Have you seen the original art for this Spider-Man page? It was stolen from comics art collector Albert Moy, who is offering a $20,000 reward.
• The Handmaid’s Tale‘s Max Minghella has joined the cast of DC’s horror take on Clayface.
• We’re learning more about the upcoming Marvel/DC crossover event! Who wants to see Harley Quinn annoying the Hulk?

The discussions are in the early stages, a source close to the situation told The Post on Friday.

Ellison and Weiss — an opinion writer who started The Free Press in 2021 after a public falling out with the left-leaning New York Times — were both spotted attending this week’s Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. The annual “summer camp for billionaires” has historically been a deal-making hotbed.

Allen & Co. is a shareholder in The Free Press, along with more than 30 other investors that include venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and David Sacks, and the former Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz, according to the Times, which first reported deal talks.

Ellison and Weiss have discussed several potential collaborations, including a role for Weiss in shaping CBS News’ editorial direction, though not in a managerial capacity, the Times added, citing two sources.

Skydance declined to comment. Weiss did not immediately return requests for comment.

Ellison has reportedly “quietly courted” Weiss to bring her on board at CBS News in some high-profile capacity for months. The duo reportedly met in New York City last year, with news of the meeting ruffling feathers at “60 Minutes,” the Status newsletter reported last month

The latest talks come as Skydance awaits approval from the Federal Communications Commission on its $8 billion merger with CBS News parent Paramount Global.

The deal has been throttled by President Trump-nominated FCC Chair Brendan Carr as the agency investigates the network’s alleged liberal media bias, as well as its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives.

Last week, CBS News agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump for allegedly deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with his Democratic challenger Kamala Harris shortly before the election.

A CBS News source told The Post that bringing on Weiss won’t change that network’s “woke” drift, citing its culture of pushing back on authority.

“What Ellison needs to understand is that the anchors and the show executives think they can outlast any executive choice,” the source said, citing a revolving door of news executives and news presidents in the last few years.

The person descibed a “drag-your-feet” culture, in which new executives try to make bold moves, but they are ultimately ignored by the staff, who pays lip-service to them and wait until they’re pushed out.

“Bari Weiss will have an axe in her head in three minutes,” the person concluded.

In the spring, longtime “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens quit in protest, citing a lack of editorial freedoms. His boss, CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon, followed suit.

Weiss quit the Times opinions sections because she felt that the Gray Lady’s left-wing culture was hostile to moderate and conservative voices.

Paramount recently settled its lawsuit with President Trump over its Kamala Harris sitdown, to the dismay of “60 Minutes” staffers. 60 Minutes

She launched The Free Press with her wife, former Times journalist Nellie Bowles, and Weiss’ sister Suzy Weiss, a former New York Post reporter.

The trio started the publication as an alternative to left-leaning outlets and sought to cover current events with a “common sense” point of view, tackling subjects such as anti-Semitism on college campuses, the debate over transgender rights in women’s sports, media bias and wokism.

Weiss has championed stories that shed a light on antisemitism across America and Europe following Hamas’ October 7 massacre in Israel, as well as developing a podcast series called “The Witch Trials of J. K. Rowling,” featuring interviews with the “Harry Potter” author, and others, over her controversial views on transgender people.

She also hired veteran NPR journalist Uri Berliner, who resigned from the liberal outlet after being suspended for criticizing how the mainstream media — and his employer — had lost the public’s trust by approaching stories with a progressive bend.

It also hosts a series of live events that dig into hot topics such as immrigration and crime.

As of last summer, The Free Press had more than 50 employees and offices on both coasts.

The site has more than 136,000 subscribers paying around $8 a month, Axios reported in late December. The Times estimated that the site has roughly 1.5 million free and paid subscribers in total.

The curious trade came a little past 9 p.m. on Jan. 17 — a $1,096,109 bet less than two minutes after the soon-to-be president of the United States posted on his social media account that his family had issued a cryptocurrency called $Trump.

In those first minutes, a crypto wallet with a unique identification code beginning 6QSc2Cx secured a giant load of these new tokens — 5,971,750 of them — at the opening sale price of just 18 cents each, starting a surge in the $Trump price that would soon reach $75 per token.

This early trader, whose identity is not known, walked away with a two-day profit of as much as $109 million, according to an analysis performed for The New York Times.

But the fast profits for early traders, whose names are unknown but some of whom appear to be based in China, came at the expense of a far larger number of slower investors who have cumulatively suffered more than $2 billion in losses after the price of the token crashed.

As of the middle of this week, more than 810,000 wallets had lost money on the bet, according to an examination that the crypto forensics firm Chainalysis performed for The New York Times. The total losses are almost certainly much larger: The data does not include transactions that took place on a series of popular crypto marketplaces that started offering the coin only after its price had already surged.

The price of $Trump hovered around $17 this week, less than a quarter of its $75 peak value.

Whether people made or lost money, it was stellar business for the Trumps. Nearly $100 million in trading fees have flowed to the family and its partners, although most of that has not yet been cashed out, the Chainalysis data shows.

President Trump set off this scramble three days before he was inaugurated, triggering a rapid boom-and-bust sequence that has now raised broader questions about the speculative dangers of so-called memecoins, a type of cryptocurrency based on an online joke or celebrity mascot.

He promoted the coin on his own social media platform, as well as Elon Musk’s X, saying: “Join my very special Trump Community. GET YOUR $TRUMP NOW.”

The chain of events is hardly surprising, several former state and federal financial regulators said.

It is effectively a part of the design of the entire memecoin industry, which is legal but largely unregulated. The trading is built on large early buys by sophisticated traders who pump up the price, only to sell their holdings as less experienced retail investors follow their lead and buy in, and often end up with losses.

What makes this situation particularly troubling, to government watchdogs and former regulators, is that the Trump family is profiting from this exploitative pattern at the same time that Mr. Trump is rapidly moving to bring an abrupt end to a regulatory crackdown on crypto by several government agencies.

“The president is participating in shady crypto schemes that harm investors while at the same time appointing financial regulators who will roll back protections for victims and who may insulate him and his family from enforcement,” said Corey Frayer, who recently left a post as a crypto adviser to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The losses on the $Trump bet were very real for hundreds of thousands of investors, including some who are vocal supporters of Mr. Trump.

In the days before Mr. Trump was sworn in, Shawn M. Whitson, 40, of Walnut Cove, N.C., owner of a small computer repair business, had celebrated Mr. Trump’s return to the White House. “Today, we take our country back!” Mr. Whitson wrote, with a photo of Mr. Trump, on Inauguration Day. He also expressed hope that $Trump would rise in price.

But by the end of January, Mr. Whitson was fed up. “Done with this $Trump crap,” he wrote in a social media posting. Mr. Whitson, reached by The Times on Friday expressed disappointment. “That coin is a joke.”

Over the past six months, President Trump and his sons have made a series of aggressive forays into the crypto industry. As Mr. Trump promoted crypto on the campaign trail, he also helped start a company called World Liberty Financial, which offered a digital currency called $WLFI to certain wealthy investors with experience in financial markets.

Last week, Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Mr. Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, announced that it was moving into the financial services industry by creating a brand known as TruthFi that will offer investment products tied to Bitcoin.

Trump Media’s chief executive, Devin Nunes, called the offerings “a competitive alternative to the woke funds and debanking problems that you find throughout the market.”

But the debut of the $Trump memecoin was the first time the Trump family had marketed a new crypto token directly to ordinary investors.

At the request of The Times, crypto experts reconstructed some of the early trades made by buyers of Mr. Trump’s token, examining their profit taking and how, once the initial buyers started to dump their holdings, the price of $Trump then crashed, hurting other investors.

The analysis of crypto transaction records was executed by the forensic firms Nansen and Chainalysis as well as by Molly White, an independent crypto researcher who is often critical of the industry. The data was then reviewed by The Times.

This pattern of big, fast buyers entering and then selling out of their memecoin holdings is part of the reason that state regulators in New York recently warned consumers about these offerings, saying that “creators or their associates artificially inflate the price of the coins and then sell their own coins rapidly at an inflated price, reaping substantial profits while causing the price to crash.”

New York regulators called these maneuvers “pump-and-dump schemes” and said they can leave buyers who come in late with big losses.

No evidence has emerged that Mr. Trump or his associates artificially inflated the coin’s price or engaged in insider trading. Asked about the early $Trump trades and profit taking, the president’s middle son, Eric Trump, declined to comment.

The Starting Gun

In the crypto world, every transaction is recorded on a publicly viewable ledger known as a blockchain. Typically, the names of the people making trades remain hidden, with each account identified only by a long chain of letters and numbers.

The blockchain allows crypto analysts to go back and look at new offerings and decipher what each wallet did — when it first invested, when it transferred any tokens or sold them off, and what the ultimate profit and loss turned out to be for every play. This analysis can also point to anomalies in trades that raise questions.

For example, blockchain records show that the $Trump token was “minted” at 9:01 a.m. Eastern time on Jan. 17, creating a so-called contract address. It was not announced by Mr. Trump for another 12 hours.

But the account behind the first large public purchase — the $1,096,109 bet — was created about three hours before Mr. Trump launched the coin, an analysis of public crypto transaction records found. It had been filled that evening with virtual currencies, seemingly ready to pounce on a new offering.

The well-timed trades, and the fact that the wallet received its funding shortly before Mr. Trump’s coin launched, immediately drew skepticism from crypto analysts, who speculated that a trader had been acting on inside information.

In the crypto world, pinning down the person behind a trade is sometimes impossible. It is common for people to post big and sometimes unverifiable claims on social media before abruptly disappearing, making it difficult for amateur investors to distinguish legitimate investments from scams.

This month, an X account claiming to represent a Dubai-based crypto trader named Syed Sameer posted that he was the owner of one of the wallets that had orchestrated the first giant $Trump trade worth $1.1 million.

Mr. Sameer, who also claimed to be an investor in World Liberty Financial, was subsequently accused on X of using insider information to get in early on the $Trump token.

But the examination by The Times found inconsistencies in the claims on Mr. Sameer’s website and X account. After he was confronted with those issues, Mr. Sameer said in messages on the chat app Telegram that he did not actually control the wallet.

Mr. Sameer had lied about it “for clout, to be honest with you,” he said. “I know it’s stupid and childish but yeah, I was messing about.”

The Lucky 31

What is clear, based on blockchain records, is that the person behind that $1.1 million trade is a big player among the hordes of professional traders who rapidly buy up and then sell off new memecoins, trying to cash in on speculative surges as the coins are issued.

After making the purchase, the owner of the account then rapidly moved to sell the coins, generating a profit of at least $50 million, according to the analysis of the transaction by Aurelie Barthere of Nansen. Further sales brought the total profits to $109 million, according to the review by Ms. White.

Other large $Trump trades have also drawn attention, including one by a trader who started buying the coin about two minutes after it was launched. The trader then sold those $Trump tokens in less than a half an hour, with a net profit of $2.7 million, the blockchain shows.

Just under 700,000 wallets recorded gains on $Trump, the examination by Chainalysis shows. The early trades were some of the most profitable: 31 of these large early traders made $669 million in profits in a matter of days, according to the Nansen analysis.

But for every winner, there were even more losers.

Across the first 19 days of trading, a total of 813,294 wallets registered losses, either by cashing out at a loss or holding onto coins that had plummeted in value.

The losers — those who paid more for the token than it is now worth — cumulatively have lost $2 billion, in actual or paper losses. Still, many of these traders are holding on to their money-losing tokens, perhaps hopeful that the price will rise again, the data shows.

The profits mostly secured by the early buyers were enormous: a total of $6.6 billion in cashed-out profits, according to Chainalysis.

This is a familiar pattern for crypto traders. A few weeks before the $Trump launch, some of the same wallets that bought the president’s token also traded a memecoin called Hawk Tuah, promoted by the social media influencer Haliey Welch.

The Hawk Tuah coin surged in December after it was first introduced to a $490 million market capitalization, and then crashed to $10 million as of this week, leaving thousands of investors with losses and generating a lawsuit claiming it had “created a speculative frenzy” and violated federal law. (Ms. Welch said on X that she was “fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted.”)

“This is similar to sports betting or gambling,” said Gareth Rhodes, a former deputy superintendent at the New York State Department of Financial Services, which helps regulate the crypto industry and other financial services companies. “The retail customer putting in their funds is doing so at risk of losing most if not all of it with the hope of an outsize payoff.”

C. Richard Kramlich, an early investor in Silicon Valley who co-founded the investment giant New Enterprise Associates, helping to fuel the booming tech industry, died on Saturday at his home in San Francisco. He was 89.

His death was announced by New Enterprise Associates.

Mr. Kramlich (pronounced CRAM-lick), whose career spanned more than five decades, was among the earliest backers of Apple Computer; the software companies Silicon Graphics and Macromedia; and the computer networking companies Juniper Networks and 3Com, whose founders invented the Ethernet.

He co-founded his own firm, New Enterprise Associates, or NEA, building it from an initial $16 million fund in the 1970s to one that now oversees investments of nearly $26 billion.

But he stood out among Silicon Valley’s sea of swashbuckling financiers because of his grace and kindness, said Scott Sandell, the chief investment officer and executive chairman of NEA. “He believed the venture business was a people business, and he acted accordingly,” he said.

Charles Richard Kramlich was born on April 27, 1935, in Green Bay, Wis. His father, Irvin Kramlich, was a grocer who started a chain of 25 food stores that Kroger bought in 1955; his mother, Dorothy (Earl) Kramlich, was an aeronautical engineer who later oversaw the household.

When he was 13, Dick followed in his father’s entrepreneurial footsteps, starting his own “little lightbulb company,” he said in a 2015 interview with the Computer History Museum. “My father encouraged me to do it if I used my own money, and so I bought half a train car worth of lightbulbs from Sylvania Corporation” and resold them from his bedroom.

He added: “I come from three generations of entrepreneurs, and once you get it in your DNA, everything else is boring.”

He attended Northwestern University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Russian history in 1957, and went on to serve in the Strategic Air Command division of the Air Force. After receiving a master’s degree from Harvard Business School, he went to work for Kroger, and then learned the ropes of investing while working for a firm in Boston.

In 1969, he landed a coveted job at Arthur Rock & Co., one of the first investment firms to make high-risk bets on unproven technology start-ups. He beat out more than a thousand other applicants, he said in the 2015 interview, by sending Mr. Rock a handwritten letter expressing his desire to find “a bigger life out there.”

In 1977, he started NEA with Chuck Newhall and Frank Bonsal, two investors he had met in Boston. Persuading others to back their new fund took more than a year, and during that time Mr. Kramlich met a pair of entrepreneurs who were both named Steve (Jobs and Wozniak).

Their company, Apple Computer, was not as good as two other personal computer companies in the market, Mr. Kramlich said in 2015. But their sense of design and entrepreneurial spark were impressive. “They had pizazz,” he said, “where the other two companies were more engineering oriented.”

He felt compelled to invest and used his own money to do so. The payoff came three years later, in 1980, when Apple went public. That investment made it possible for Mr. Kramlich to buy a 1927 Tudor house in the Presidio Heights neighborhood of San Francisco; he had bronze apples fashioned as the front gate’s doorknobs to remind him of the windfall. (Last year, he listed the house for sale for $19.5 million.)

Not long after, he met Pamela Kay Palmer through a mutual friend; they married in 1981.

Venture capital investing is designed to absorb many losses in pursuit of one home-run deal, leaving a graveyard of failed start-ups along the way. But Mr. Kramlich was known for sticking with struggling investments long after others had abandoned them.

“He used to say, ‘Never say die,’” Mr. Sandell said.

In the early 1980s, Forethought, the start-up behind PowerPoint software, was about to run out of money, and NEA’s partners refused to pony up more. So Mr. Kramlich convinced his wife that they should pause work on the house they were building on Stinson Beach and use the cash to keep the company alive instead. The gamble paid off: In 1987, Microsoft bought Forethought for $14 million, and PowerPoint went on to become one of the world’s best-known software programs.

Financial Engines, an investment advisory start-up backed by NEA, took 18 years to go public and “went through five different business models,” said Jeff Maggioncalda, the company’s chief executive. NEA, he added, patiently held its shares the entire time.

Thanks to that patience, and to Mr. Kramlich’s kindness, chief executives he had fired or threatened to fire never stopped wanting to work with him.

“People don’t leave a relationship with Dick with any anger,” said James Clark, a founder of the computer software and hardware company Silicon Graphics, whose board of directors Mr. Kramlich served on. “He’s just a fundamentally good man.”

In 2002, Mr. Kramlich told Mr. Maggioncalda that he would be pushed out by the end of the year if things didn’t turn around. But Mr. Kramlich’s delivery inspired trust rather than fear, Mr. Maggioncalda recalled: “He said it with a calmness and a supportiveness.” The company recovered, and Mr. Maggioncalda led it through an initial public offering in 2010.

After Mr. Kramlich retired from NEA in 2012, he continued to pursue a passion for art collecting. He and Ms. Kramlich were among the first private collectors to focus on new media as it emerged as an art form in the late 1980s, and they amassed an extensive collection that emphasized audio and computer art, video, film and photographic slides. Their collection of videos and installations grew to more than 300 pieces — so large that they built a three-level home in Napa Valley to display it.

In addition to Ms. Kramlich, he is survived by two children, Christina and Richard Kramlich; a stepdaughter, Mary Donna Meredith; and six grandchildren. A son, Peter, died in 2024. Mr. Kramlich was married twice before, to Deborah (Durbrow) Kramlich, whom he divorced in 1966, and to Lynne (Shamburger) Kramlich, who died in 1981.

In retirement, Mr. Kramlich continued to mentor founders and investors. He also started a new firm, Green Bay Ventures, with Anthony Schiller, a liquefied natural gas entrepreneur. The firm’s investments include Databricks, the A.I. data company; Dropbox, the file storage company; and Xiaomi, the consumer electronics company.

In their 12 years of working together, Mr. Schiller said in a statement, he learned a lot from Mr. Kramlich.

“There will be plenty of well-deserved recognition for Dick’s legendary career,” he said. “But he was just as extraordinary as a person. He taught me about dreaming big, loyalty, pride and alignment.”

The fast food chain’s corporate office sent a memo to Subway operators stating that the 6-inch Meal Deal will end on Wednesday, despite being scheduled to end on Dec. 26, Restaurant Business Magazine reported.

The deal, launched on Nov. 3 to celebrate National Sandwich Day, offered customers the option of a six-inch sub, a small fountain drink, a bag of chips, or two regular cookies.

Subway has abruptly ended its 6-inch Meal Deal, which will end on Wednesday.

However, the company alluded that the bargain failed to bring in enough traffic to keep it going for another month.

“The Meal Deal was designed to help drive a lift in traffic, sales and, ultimately, restaurant-level profitability, and delivered on these objectives during the market test,” a memo viewed by Restaurant Business Magazine stated.

“While the national Meal Deal promotion is delivering the expected number of daily redemptions, overall the promotion is not driving the anticipated results.” 

The company said it would switch to a digital offer of 20% off any sub ordered on its app through Jan. 5.

Fast-food chains have been offering promotions and meal deals, such as McDonald’s popular $5 Meal Deal, to entice inflation-battered customers.

The Golden Arches recently announced it was extending the value meal through the first half of 2025 and adding a new “buy one, add one” option to its menu.

However, the sub-shop chain has encountered significant pushback from franchisees concerning value perceptions, with some locations not cooperating with value deals, according to Restaurant Business. 

Also, about 7,000 locations have closed in the US since 2015 due to falling sales and low unit volumes, the outlet reported.

Still, Subway’s US sales rose 2% last year compared to 2022, according to market research firm Technomic.

The news that Subway would abruptly end its scheduled promotion came just days before CEO John Chidsey announced he would step down at the end of the year.

Chidsey, 62, took over the largest sub-shop chain in 2019 and was the first Subway CEO to come from an outside brand.

During his tenure, he pushed promotions and deals and helped sell Subway to private equity firm Roark Capital in a more than $9 billion deal last year. 

Chidsey is expected to stay on as a consultant at Subway to help with international expansion.

Carrie Walsh, Subway’s president of Europe, Middle East, and Africa and the company’s former chief marketing officer, will serve as interim chief executive while the company searches for a permanent replacement.

Subway said it has franchisee commitments to build 10,000 new restaurants, including many locations abroad.

Founded in 1965, Subway has become a top global restaurant chain with 37,000 locations in over 100 countries, according to the restaurant’s website.

Subway restaurants are owned and operated by a franchisee network that includes more than 20,000 dedicated entrepreneurs and small business owners.
