"Yes, it's not the most enviable situation. But they have shares to sell and data to release, and they've done neither. Either they are the world's dumbest people, or there' something brewing behind the scenes that they know will take care of those problems."

I do not think the present leadership of Cytodyn is made up of the world's dumbest people but rather by some pretty smart and capable people who are trying to rectify our unenviable position. We just have to wait to find out what they think the best way forward is and I also believe there is a way forward.
