CYDY Shareholders:
Anyone who holds stock in CytoDyn is invited to sign a petition that requests leniency in sentencing for our former CEO, Nader Pourhassan.
https://www.change.org/supportnaderpourhassan
He was terminated at CytoDyn on 24 Jan, 2002, and later convicted (9 Dec 2024) on multiple counts of securities fraud, wire fraud, and insider trading. A sentencing date has not yet been published.
I have never met or spoken with Mr Pourhassan or anyone from his legal team or family. However, I have heard many stories of how he helped people save loved ones with Leronlimab, and I'm sponsoring this petition because I believe he did not act with malicious intent. I believe his passion and enthusiasm got the better of him, and being an outsider to the medical/pharma world and (probably) being ignorant of the narrow legal road the CEO of a publicly traded company has to walk, he said and did things that crossed the line(s).
I don't defend his behavior. This is just a petition to request leniency in sentencing because I believe him to be, fundamentally, a good man.
I will keep the petition up until Friday, 21 March. I will also post it on Stocktwits and Reddit. I don't know if they'll allow me to keep it up, we'll find out. At the end of Friday, 21 March, I will forward the completed petition to NP's family, I know someone who has an email address that will get it there.
I realize some or many CYDY shareholders may not harbor good will for our former CEO. I understand. Just be aware that this petition is not a request to relitigate or challenge the verdict, it is only a request for leniency.
On a separate note, it did raise my blood pressure to read the comments by the prosecution because they were, in my opinion, willfully ignorant of the evidence that supports Leronlimab's efficacy. For example -
1. "Inspector in Charge Eric Shen of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) Criminal Investigations Group. “In this case, these individuals took advantage of the dream of a possible new treatment for HIV and exploited investors, while dashing the hopes of many waiting for a cure."
2. “The defendants lied to investors and the public — including during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic — about a drug that purportedly treated HIV and COVID-19 in order to artificially inflate CytoDyn’s stock price,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division."
In short, if you wish to ask for leniency in the sentencing of Dr Pourhassan, please hit the link and sign the petition. He did tremendous things for the company, and without his efforts, I believe CytoDyn would not have what may be one of the most amazing molecules in the world.
