i just don't believe the conspiracy stuff at all. never have. it's a great sideshow, and entertaining, but BS. the winners in every field ignore that stuff - the losers dwell on it. Remember, every BP started off like us at one point - if there's a grand conspiracy against all upcoming companies, no one would ever make it. to be clear - are there competitors that want to see us fail? of course - that is competition. but is there a secret room with a giant mahagony table that the BPs sneak away to, putting their differences aside long enough to convene for a secret meeting? gimmie a break.

i go back to what Jay Lalezari said: basically, that our management was the most incompetent, inept that he had ever seen in all of his years of dealing with companies in the biotech space. think about that statement.

so, if you believe him - how is it a surprise that the company bungled every opportunity to get this drug to approval (which isn't a simple process, even with a great manager)?

i think the future is in our hands. if we can produce great NASH results in a real trial with results that don't require some type of re-organization, etc., we'll hit paydirt. If we can get the BLA completed with someone other than a disastrous CRO (who was of our own choosing by the way), we could hit paydirt there too.
