Well, I clearly am more cynical and suspicious than you. When Dirty Joe was asked repeatedly about how NUGX came to be, he attacked every person who asked the question, or said that it did not matter.Those responses are inconsistent with his repeated promises to shareholders about his commitment to them. In fact, as the Pres/CEO/CoB of NuGen, I would not rest until I knew who was trying to undermine my long-term goals for that company (as well as Generex, of course, as the major shareholder), and make sure that person (or those persons) were exposed and subjected to whatever civil or criminal penalties were available. Being so nonchalant about that is more indicative of someone who assisted, instead of someone who was adversely affected by it.

As to your "wrecking the car" to sell parts, I am not sure the analogy is appropriate at all. I expect Dirty Joe knew that that the 'Complete Vaccine" did not exist, and knew that he was not going to be able to deliver anything for his shareholders. It is more similar to wrecking a rental car and then selling it for cash to a junk yard, when you don't own the car in the first place.
