It seems that presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy really is a mini-Trump not just in belief but how he made his money. Essentially, it involves Ramaswamy acquiring a failed pharmaceutical drug that went through four unsuccessful trials that he would market as an Alzheimer's breakthrough. He put his mom, a doctor, on the research team and suddenly, the drug showed remarkable improvement (ahem). The drug was rebranded, and his company took in millions. Yet before the Phase 3 trials began, Ramaswamy and his family emptied their shares.
The saga involves manipulated data, a company named Axovant based in Bermuda, destroyed lives, and alleged insider trading knowledge. The GOP is bending themselves into pretzels trying to tie something, anything, to Joe Biden. But just one minute of research on any of their candidates shows a wealth of corruption. Just thought you should know...
Also learned that Ramaswamy is responsible for the rise of his disgraced investor friend Martin Shkreli, aka "pharma bro," and was at one time his biggest investor. Shkreli went to prison for securities fraud after he became famous for price-gouging a life-saving drug.
