NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

My impression is that Vivien Boniuk was possibly a very minor player in the NNVC scam, whose role was inflated by Seymour in order to establish credibility with the investing public.

There has been one minor mention of her name by NNVC, (that I can find) following Apr. 2009, when she was supposed to have presented "results" at some meeting. There were never any follow-up PRs or news reports about her actually reporting those results, so it's not clear she even went through with it.

If anyone has links to reports of Vivien Boniuk having showed up and making a presentation at the GTC-Bio Conference on Ocular Diseases and Drug Discovery on April 21 2009, in Philadelphia, I'd love to see those. (e.g. a follow-up news release of what she actually presented would be great).

The SEC filings at around that time (2008) show her as only having 150,000 shares, in spite of Seymour touting this in his PR's "Dr. Vivien Boniuk was the very first investor in the Company, and has continued to be a major investor all along. "

It's possible that she was duped along with her brother Milton. However, she had only ever invested a very small amount by comparison to Milton.

I doubt that Vivien's involvement would be any cause for Milton to hesitate in suing Seymour and Diwan, should he ever come to believe he was defrauded. A lawyer for a daughter who would prefer to have an extra $10M in her inheritance might trump sibling love.
