HMB: It would be even better "DD" if it matched the posted definition of a shell.

Popt: Another correction for the record...
Popt: You can suggest your right but here's proof that assertion is wrong...
Popt: Nate's did not have a reverse merger.
Yes, Nate's did have a reverser merger. They tell us right here...
lesn: I am 'suggesting' both your references and I am right.
Popt: You are suggesting both surkast and investor229 sold NHMD symbols, not NHMD common shares because you claim they didn't have any because they never had their CCRA shares exchanged.
That's ludicrous. They sold shares of NHMD that were in their account because their CCRA shares were exchanged for them. They knew that because the CCRA stock symbol in their accounts changed to NHMD, then later they sold them. The shares, that is. Not the symbols.
They didn't buy NHMD shares on the open market after the reverse merger took place. They had their CCRA shares exchanged for NHMD shares. That's how they were able to sell them after the reverse merger took place.
lns
Popt: You are suggesting symbols were sold since you say there were no shares exchanged, even though you acknowledge that a stock symbol represents the company shares.
So, if the only thing you'll acknowledge is that the stock symbol in sufkast's (that's who "he" is, remember?) brokerage account is what was exchanged, that's the only thing you can be suggesting he sold...symbols.
lns
lesn: I was not suggesting anyone sold symbols. You keep saying 'he' and I have no idea whom 'he is.'
Nate's did not have a reverse merger.
Popt: You're suggesting he sold symbols. Nobody sells symbols. He didn't either. He sold shares.
When a symbol is changed, as in Nate's case, the shares surfkast sold w/ that new symbol, NHMD, were common shares of NHMD. His CCRA symbol was changed to NHMD and the shares exchanged for the same. That's why when he sold them they weren't CCRA shares, they were NHMD shares. He told us that.
Nate's had a RM. A RTM is a type of RM. There are many similarities.
I never proposed new shares were issued or even offered. But, NHMD shares were printed to exchange out the cancelled CCRA shares. Shares were exchanged. Symbol was changed after to signify that exchange. There are no similarities.
lns
lesn: When a symbol is changed, common shares are not 'exchanged.' I have said Nate's did not have a common share exchange as you are proposing for KEYO. Nothing in what I posted has ever said I think Nate's 'exchanged' common shares. Nate's did not issue new shares as you are proposing for KEYO. Nate's did not have a RTM as you are proposing for KEYO. There are no similarities.
Keyon's status is dissolved.
Keyon has no management.
Nantworks is not a subsidiary of Keyon.
Popt: This is just stupid now. haha. It had everything to do w/ your post about Nates's 10 filing.
Why? It's because Nate's 10 filing is just what it states it is on the top and what you repeated for us...it's a REGISTRATION STATEMENT.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1409446/000147793214005261/nate_1012ga.htm
lesn: That post had nothing to do with my post about Nate's 10 filing. It also had nothing to do with your claim that Nantworks is a subsidiary of Keyon. So, I am not tracking where you got any of that from.
I did not say there was a Nate's common share exchange like you are proposing would happen with Keyo. There was no such exchange. Nate's did not issue new shares. None of these claims happened. I didn't 'ask you.' I answered your questions.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=121681916
Popt: What's not to get? You just agreed this morning that the common stock symbol exchange in surfkasts's and investor229's brokerage accounts from CCRA to NHMD meant the underlying common shares were exchanged as well. And, surfkast told us straight up that yes, it was a 1:1 SHARE EXCHANGE, confirming what you acknowledged just hours ago.
You've asked me. I've answered providing facts and truth from the sources of information. The ones that made the rules. I mean, really, Popt, what's not to get?
And, again for the umpteenth time, yes, once the privco merges w/ the pubco sub, the privco is effectively then the sub of the parent pubco, and the merged into pubco sub (in this case, Keyon (NV)) immediately files for dissolution as a matter of law. We saw just that in 5/14.
That it had to be repeated...Wow, is right.
lns
lesn: In your Nate's example, the Form 10 was not to register new shares.
Popt: No. You misunderstood again. KEYO shares won't be cancelled until after the finalization of the RTM w/ NANT, then they'll be exchanged and I'll know this by the symbol change in my account.
The symbol change is the final thing to occur.
You're wrong. The same thing happened w/ CCRA that will happen here...a Form 15 followed by a Form 10.
NantWorks is already a subsidiary of Keyon, on paper, because that's the first step in a RTM, which was already started in the spring of '14. The public company and those shares are currently Keyon. They will be NantWorks. That's just how the finalization of RTM's work.
Simple like that even a 5 year old can get it after it's explained to them enough times.
lns
lesn: Is that an admission that the KEYO shares are 'cancelled?'
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=121585289
In a reverse merger, the shell is already registered with the SEC before the merger. That is the very reason you do a reverse merger into a shell. In the proposed reverse triangular merger, Nantworks would become a subsidiary of Keyon. The public company, and those shares, have to be Keyon.
Popt: Exactly. And, since I won't physically have them anyway, those then cancelled KEYO shares will just be exchanged behind the scenes for the newly registered NANT shares and the only thing I'll see or care about is the symbol and pps change in my brokerage accounts.
After the finalization of a reverse merger transaction, for the newly created public (once private) company shares to be registered w/ the SEC (or is it their registered first then created, Popt? loL!) in exchange for public shell's then cancelled shares, first those former public shell shares must have their registration w/ the SEC terminated.
Luckily, the Form 15 that Keyon filed already took care of that step.
You got it now.
Way to go.
lns
lesn: Once a stock is terminated, you do not have to 'physically return' your shares. A stock certificate does show the trading symbol.
Popt: Alright. Now, let's analyse them...
1. Also, are you going to tell the CCRA shareholders their common shares weren't exchanged?
- Yes.
- Great. I'll be looking for that post over there from ya.
2. How did they get NHMD shares?
- Symbol change.
- Exactly, and if they wanted to get physical stock certificates for those to replace the CCRA physical stock certificates, the shareholder would have to physically return, or EXCHANGE those, old and now cancelled, CCRA stock certificates for newly registered NHMD physical paper stock certificates.
- A symbol change represents a stock change which a company stock is a traded as a security. These all represent equal shares of the company. Hence, shares of the company are ultimately what are being exchanged.
3. Is that what you're suggesting?
- Of course not.
- Then, what is it you're suggesting if you're not calling them that because they are telling us that their shares were exchanged (and the symbol, of course)
- Follow through w/ #1 above and tell them. I'll be watching for your post.
4. Or, was it just a symbol change?
- Yes.
- Wrong answer but I see in the next question that, "no", was what you really meant to say.
5. What does a stock symbol represent? Shares? Company stock?
- The common shares.
- EXACTLY RIGHT! You got it! COMMON (and preferred) SHARES WERE EXCHANGED! Way to go!
5. If their CCRA symbol in their brokerage accounts was exchanged for a NHMD symbol, what did that signify took place?
- A symbol change.
- OK. Simple, obvious answer. But, glad we know now from your above answer that it really means behind the scenes a common share exchange took place in their accounts.
6. Can a company name and stock symbol change from one entity to another but the underlying shares not?
- Of course.
- Oh, Popt. I know you meant, Of course not.
KEYO will get a whole lot more than a symbol change. My commons shares will also change to NANT. Glad you finally got (acknowledge?) it.
But, really doesn't matter what goes on behind the scenes w/ the shares to me because I don't see myself ever wanting a paper certificate anyway. Just looking at the symbol change and price change in my brokerage accounts that symbol change will represent will be just fine by me.
lns
lesn: Yes. Symbol change. Of course not. Yes. The common shares. A symbol change. Of course.
That was easy!
This 5 year old scam needs a whole lot more than a symbol change to dust it off.
According to information in BBB files, this company is no longer in business. If you have an unresolved dispute with this company you may wish to seek legal advice. - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/nebraska/business-reviews/internet-services/keyon-communications-in-omaha-ne-300007344#sthash.5DF395CJ.dpuf
Popt: That makes no sense at all. Also, are you going to tell the CCRA shareholders their common shares weren't exchanged?
How did they get NHMD shares?
Go ask them. Your continuing to state this fable is to continue to call them out as liars that they bought new shares of NHMD and they lost their CCRA shares and they didn't get their NHMD shares via a share exchange.
Is that what you're suggesting?
Or, was it just a symbol change? What does a stock symbol represent? Shares? Company stock?
If their CCRA symbol in their brokerage accounts was exchanged for a NHMD symbol, what did that signify took place?
Can a company name and stock symbol change from one entity to another but the underlying shares not?
lns
lesn: Got it. You believe FINRA is 'being dishonest' - it is unclear why they would do that. Why does it matter why FINRA stopped KEYO trading? It stopped and will trade again. The reason is not very important (except the market marker story is complete nonsense). However, FINRA did say it was because the status of Keyon is dissolved. We know that is true.
Your argument seems to be that it is not dissolved enough. Only 2/3rds dissolved. However, the Delaware status is clearly 'Dissolved.' That must mean Delaware is also not 'being honest.'
And you have claimed Tom was not 'being honest' when he said he dissolved the company years ago.
And Soon-Shiong was cleverly not 'being honest' when said he wanted an IPO.
And the SEC was absolutely not 'being honest' that all the KEYO common shares had been terminated.
Popt: How can you claim this?...
Market makers did not shut down KEYO trading. That is nonsense and don't understand the point of making that up. What is to be gained by changing the stated reason?
Who is making things up here? The below shows who is making things up and it's not them and I'm only reporting the facts.
OTC Markets
lesn: You seem to have misunderstood something I posted. Keyon will never again have another share registration. It is over for this scam.
lesn: You just posted that Keyon had both common shares and preferred shares so why would Keyon need a common share exchange with Keyon 'investors?'
CCRA also did not have a common share exchange.
Popt: What about shares of a company that have traded for years and the company has never filed once, anything, w/ the SEC. They never registered a thing. Not themselves, not their securities, no stock, nothing.
Take EFFI for example. See that? Their shares trade.
Are you trying to suggest that those shares which we saw trade today, do not exist simply because they've never been registered w/ the SEC?

http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/EFFI/filings
Note: The above link from OTC are not official SEC filings and no registration of shares w/ the SEC is found. The company doesn't even have a website! haha
So, what about that, Popt? Are you really prepared to tell all these EFFI shareholders that those shares in their accounts that they bought and trade, they somehow don't exist because they were never registered w/ the SEC? Look at them, some are very exited at what they think they own but you say they don't.
Gonna break the news to them or should I?
lns
p.s. - KEYO shares exist, they're right there in my brokerage accounts. They just don't trade. Making KEYO a non-trading, non-reporting shell. Non-trading and non-reporting shells are used for reverse mergers. Just ask this team of experts/ because they have and do use them for their clients.
Popt: You need to address your convoluted 'registration before existence' scam. It's completely contrived and makes no sense at all.
It's akin to suggesting a car needs to be registered w/ the state before it can exist. And, when I turn my tags in and let the registration lapse, terminating the registration of the car w/ the state, it somehow would cease to exist.
Why don't you answer these questions? Don't be shy now, answer them...
- Does a car (stock) not exist unless it's first registered w/ the state?
- Does a car cease to exist after its registration w/ the state is terminated?
I'm looking at a car right now in my yard w/ a blown engine. So, I terminated it's registration w/ the state by not renewing it this year. It's now a car that doesn't move w/ it's registration terminated.
- Did that little sticker (registration) all by itself magically will that car into existence?
- If the car didn't exist in the first place, why and what was it I registered w/ the state?
- Does the car (stock) that I'm looking at w/ it's terminated registration not exist anymore?
- Is it a figment of my imagination what I'm looking at...a car w/ its registration terminated?
- Is it not a car?
- If it's not a car, what is it?
These are important question that you need to address so we can try to make sense out of your convoluted 'registration before existence' scam.
lns
Popt: A share exchange occurs, just like the CCRA example should've taught you.
Market makers are the ones who start a stock trading by sponsoring it to and they are the ones who ultimately stop a stock from trading by pulling that sponsorship.
You know this. Why deny it?
Popt, you also know that non-trading, non-reporting shells can by used in RTM's. Why deny it?
lns
lesn: What I think you are trying to say is that Keyon could maybe someday register new common shares. Doesn't that defy your assertion there are already common shares?
Market makers did not shut down KEYO trading. That is nonsense and don't understand the point of making that up. What is to be gained by changing the stated reason?
A non-trading, non-reporting company cannot be used in a RTM.
Popt: Exactly. It was best when it was trading, allowing myself and others to buy up the float. Since it finally did all get bought up, it was best that it went completely dark. AGAIN, we're told right here why it's a GOOD THING that KEYO NO LONGER TRADES! Afterall, w/ the float bought up and if the MM's did jack the price up, WAY UP, to try and entice some shares loose to fill their coffers back up, that would've looked very fishy.
lesn: Yes, it was best it was trading until KEYO stopped trading and then that was the best.
By your own definition Keyon is not a shell.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=121528672
A non-reporting, non-trading shell cannot be used in a RTM.
Your 'registration morph' is too convoluted for me to follow, but it sounds like you had 'fun.'
Popt: It's even better now that it's NOT trading!
HMB: Oh, no. The KEYO scam was being run since 2011 until it finally stopped trading. Now, the KEYO victims have lost all their capital. We are in the defense mode of the scam where the explanations for the losses are delivered. That way the originators can run another one.
Key rule of this phase: deny, deny, deny all facts.
You post comments like:
-A dissolution of the company is not really a dissolution.
-A termination of shares is not really a termination of the shares.
-The closing of the company was so investors would make more money.
-The reason former management won't discuss the scheme is because it is illegal for them to do so.
-You don't really need a publicly traded company to be the publicly traded company in a RTM.
-It is absolutely fabulous that it will never trade again. You are locked in! Everyone else is locked out!
-Promise a new filing in the coming days. A Form 10! A new Super 8K!
-None of the bagholders really lost their capital because the possibility still exists! It really, really does!
This can go on for 10 years after the shares are terminated.
Who exactly is being "scam"med? Is there a pump going on to sell shares??
heidi: I do remember the old argument that KEYO was still good because it traded!
heidib: It's the slow SEC, right? hahaha! lns_eom
heidib: There a leg left to stand on!?_loL!_lns_eom
Popt: When you register shares, they then exist. When you terminate the registration, the shares no longer exist.
Oh, this is rich. haha
Really? Sticking to that?
OK...then what about shares of a company that have traded for years and the company has never filed once, anything, w/ the SEC. They never registered a thing. Not themselves, not their securities, no stock, nothing.
Their shares trade. Are you suggesting that their shares do not exist simply because they've never been registered?

So, what about that, Popt? Are you really prepared to tell those EFFI shareholders that those shares in their accounts that they bought and trade, they somehow don't exist because they were never registered w/ the SEC?
ANALOGY...
Does a car (stock) not exist unless it's first registered w/ the state? I'm looking at a car (stock) right now in my yard (account) that doesn't have an engine (trade). Does the car (stock) that I'm looking at not exist? Does that little sticker (registration) alone will that car (stock) into existence otherwise it's a figment of my imagination? If the car (stock) didn't exist in the first place, why and what is it I'm registering? Is it not a car (stock)? If it's not a car (stock), what is it?
C'mon, I mean, really. Is this what we're now trying to be convinced to believe? That the registration of the stock alone is what makes it exist and those EFFI shareholders are trading nothing?
If so, IMO, everybody should take offence to that because that would be an insult to everybody's collective intelligence. WOW.
lns
HMB: At least there is now an admission that someone needs to wiggle out of regulations to explain KEYO.
lesn: When you register shares, they then exist. When you terminate the registration, the shares no longer exist. The only words that matters in the very last filing of Keyon is 'termination' 'common shares.'
As of 2011, Soon-Shiong sold his interest in Keyon for 30 cents on the dollar and then terminated all the remaining shares.
Then he fired everyone.
Then he shut down all operations.
Then he dissolved the company.
Then he made darn sure it stopped trading.
Not what anyone would call a smart investment.
big: Yes, before KEYO common stock was terminated in 2011, the common stock was registered for sale in the public markets.
Today, obviously, KEYO has no stock. It is a scam.
Popt: Is there a difference between creating new securities and registering new securities?
Is there a difference between securities and shares?
Is there a difference between the cancellation of shares and termination of registration of securities?
What happens when a company cancels it shares vs. when a company terminates it registration of those shares w/ the SEC?
lns
A good example of the definition "of what is is". Manipulation of wording of legal definition in "registered" with exemptions, of course. Just about any reg can be wiggled out of with right attny and money; especially in DE !

**********ALERT: KEYO (DE Corp) shell 80% OWNED BY BILLIONAIRE DR. PATRICK SOON-SHIONG....DISSOLVED 5/22/14 AND IS NOW A CLEAN SHELL******
http://images.investorshub.advfn.com/images/uploads/2014/7/6/nufezKEYO_DE-status.JPG
http://www.nantworks.com
In 2011 Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong invested in KEYO to build out his national healthcare dream. The company was poorly run and Shiong took control, leaving it as a shell for his use. At the same time, he managed a Leveraged BuyOut of the National Lambda Rail. They needed cash, and the $100M he gave made him the control. Its the NLR that supports most of the Nantworks family of companies today.
http://www.flinn.org/news/1015
"KeyOn Communications’ largest and controlling shareholder is California Equity LLC, an entity controlled by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. Dr. Soon-Shiong, having built and sold two multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies in the past few years including Abraxis BioScience to Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG), is a physician, scientist and philanthropist who has made clear his intention to develop a comprehensive “health information highway system” throughout the United States. "
Soon-Shiong, 62, has a lot to show. First, he walks him through a mock-up of a futuristic hospital room: There’s a patch that measures a patient’s heart rate, temperature and blood pressure, and a 3-inch white cube, called an HBox, connecting every device to a computer network. He shows off a darkened room covered in computer screens: a control center from which a handful of doctors can monitor hundreds of patients, even when those patients are at home. And finally he calls up several computer programs that make sure doctors know, up to the latest scientific-journal article, the best treatment available. It’s a sweeping assemblage of data-driven toys–fueled by $1.3 billion worth of furtive acquisitions, almost entirely using Soon-Shiong’s own money.
This dizzying demonstration wows Sanford, who seems extra-rumpled next to Soon-Shiong, in his crisp tailored blue shirt and suit pants, which he fills sleekly (he owns part of the Lakers and plays hoops regularly on an indoor court at his house). “I think it’s exactly what we need in this world,” Sanford says. “I also have a hospital group. I think we’re at 40 hospitals and 150 clinics, but costs are just going crazy, and the lack of communication between these organizations is just paramount to correct.” Soon-Shiong jumps in for the close: “The hospitals aren’t organized, funded or even have the skill sets to create this kind of communications infrastructure. Frankly, the government should have done it.”
As evidenced by the incompetent ObamaCare rollout, perhaps it’s better that Soon-Shiong did, and Sanford is taking whatever this doctor prescribes. They shake hands eagerly on a deal to deploy the technology at a children’s hospital in Phoenix, Ariz.
Even after the demonstration, though, exactly what Sanford is buying remains unclear. As seen over Soon-Shiong’s shoulder, the demos look fantastic. But no outsider I spoke to had actually laid hands on all the pieces of the technology. There is no real business plan. No pricing model. All they have is Soon-Shiong’s word, which is a tricky thing. While he’s undeniably brilliant, Soon-Shiong is equally undeniably a blowhard, a view shared widely across the medical spectrum (his Twitter TWTR +4.17% handle:
@solvehealthcare). “The marketing is three years ahead of the engineering,” says John Halamka, one of the first people to ever have his genome sequenced and the chief information officer of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “What works on paper, what works in the lab and what works in a complex academic medical center are very different things.” He later adds: “Patrick is a showman of sorts, and for him to claim, ’I have solved the problems that everyone else over the last 20 years hasn’t been able to solve…’ ”
It bothers me, too. Soon-Shiong’s sparkling headquarters, a futuristic amalgamation of metal and glass where some of his 800 employees scurry about, sits in L.A.’s Culver City neighborhood, which has birthed dozens of Hollywood fantasies, including The Wizard of Oz. Accordingly, I’ve spent the past ten months trying to pull back the curtain. Soon-Shiong has allowed me an exclusive, detailed look inside his efforts–the Manhattan Project of medicine–just as he was closing the deal that will see them put into action for the first time at Providence Health & Services, a 34-hospital, not-for-profit Catholic health ministry in Oregon, California, Alaska, Washington State and Montana. And I talked to dozens of outsiders.
What was universal: the scope of Soon-Shiong’s undertaking. “When we went to see him and got a look at what they’re planning to implement, we were dazzled,” says Gillies McKenna, head of the department of oncology at Oxford University. “If you can make this work, and I agree it will be very difficult, he’s looking at an exponential increase in the amount of data we can base decisions on.” Soon-Shiong explains it this way: “We will have more information at our fingertips than we ever had in the history of mankind–every day. Not once a month, a week. Every day.” Such omniscience has the potential to reverse the perverse incentives–which emphasize treatments rather than results–driving America’s annual health costs past $3 trillion. It could also cure most of what ails us, even cancer.
Soon-Shiong is accustomed to doubters, as the son of Chinese immigrants in apartheid-era South Africa. He graduated high school at 16 and medical school at 22. His first patient, an Afrikaner, refused to be touched by him, but after Soon-Shiong drained his infected sinus, he told everyone, “That Chinaman. Make sure you get him to examine you.”
Soon-Shiong left South Africa in the late 1970s and arrived at UCLA in 1980. Stephen Nimer, a hematologist who would later serve on the board of directors for one of Soon-Shiong’s companies, remembers him as an “unbelievable surgeon” who was always willing to take on the most difficult cases. “It’s in his blood to help people,” Nimer says.
So is a deep streak of P.T. Barnum showmanship–and a talent for pissing off investors and colleagues alike. As a surgeon at UCLA he grabbed headlines transplanting insulin cells into a diabetic. The president of the American Diabetes Association called it “inappropriate hype,” saying it was “far too early to view this as a cure or even a therapy.”
In 1990 he started a company to commercialize his diabetes work and got a deal with Mylan to explore transplanting pig organs into people but backed out because he decided it might be unsafe. He ended up in a legal feud that included, among others, his own brother.
Then, in 1991 he invented the drug that made his fortune: Abraxane, which packages the top-selling cancer drug, Taxol, inside the protein albumin. The idea was that tumors would eat the albumin and get the poison.
Top oncologists called it “old wine in a new bottle.” But Soon-Shiong was convinced he was on to something big. He decided on a novel–and personally risky–approach to fund Abraxane’s development. Rather than sell stakes to venture capitalists, the traditional route to bankrolling biotech research, he instead took out loans to buy a small, publicly traded generic drug business, which he renamed American Pharmaceutical Partners, folding his Abraxane initiative inside it. A physician buying group, which purchased drugs from APP, invested in it. Some said this was a conflict of interest; Soon-Shiong says the group contributed to help prevent drug shortages and sold its shares as soon as APP went public. But his reputation had been dinged again.
In 2005 he won a huge victory: The FDA approved Abraxane, defying short-seller interest, which ran as high as 100%. Shares jumped 47%. But once again Soon-Shiong became the center of controversy when, a few months later, he merged APP with a private vehicle he owned. Brian Laegeler, an analyst at Morningstar, called it a “raw deal for minority shareholders as it serves only to line the pockets of Patrick Soon-Shiong.” The stock dropped 18% the day the deal was announced. Soon-Shiong says the long-term rise of the shares vindicated the move.
Then in 2007 the stock soared again. The firm was the only maker of the blood-thinner heparin whose product did not have to be recalled because of contamination that killed 81 people. Soon-Shiong split and sold the company, saying it was “two unique businesses.” The generics business, including heparin, went to Fresenius in 2008 for $4.6 billion. In 2010 the drug business, Abraxis, was bought by biotech giant Celgene for $4.5 billion. Soon-Shiong owned some 80% of each.
Another multibillion-dollar windfall soon followed. Despite Soon-Shiong’s insistence that Abraxane was “a breakthrough,” by 2011 sales were just $386 million–a middling success in the booming biotech sector. Then last year a study showed the drug extended the lives of pancreatic cancer patients by 1.8 months. Sales jumped 90% and are projected to hit $2 billion by 2017. Celgene’s stock–Soon-Shiong remains the largest individual shareholder–surged in lockstep.
Cleverness, determination and luck had left Soon-Shiong with enormous wealth–we put his current net worth at $12 billion. But it also left him with a reputation as more of a wheeler-dealer than a scientist, which pains him, say confidants. “He has recognition in the business community,” says Michael Crow, the president of Arizona State University, another institution Soon-Shiong is talking about working with. “But that’s very different from the recognition that this was the man who built the intellectual fabric that allowed cancer survival rates to be increased 80%.”
The HBox can connect every device in a hospital room to the cloud.
Soon-Shiong’s grand new project promises the closest thing that Earth has ever had to Star Trek’s fabled tricorder. In theory it will work like this: A cancer patient will arrive at the hospital for diagnosis. Everything from her DNA to the proteins in her blood will get instantly analyzed via a proprietary and superfast network, with the data collected automatically in real time–no pens, paper or clipboards. Within minutes computers will recommend which drugs to try. Once the patient is sent home, the same technology will travel with her, allowing doctors to continue to monitor her in real time, as hospital administrators evaluate the efficacy and costs of various procedures and medicines and compare notes with hospitals across the country.
This vision came during the approval process for Abraxane in 2005. Doctors were making bad decisions. One study found that two-thirds of pancreatic cancer patients received the wrong treatment. Computer brainpower wasn’t enough to fix this, Soon-Shiong realized, if it wasn’t paired with a high-tech nervous system. “How could we ever hope to win the war against cancer using our newly gained molecular insights against a disease that has the capacity to constantly change and mutate?” he says.
Like a mechanic rummaging for parts, he started buying companies to build his new machine. He grabbed Eviti, based in Philadelphia, which sold its services to insurers as a way to ensure that cancer doctors weren’t prescribing medicines improperly (and billing for their errors). Thirty oncologists and nurses pore over the latest medical journals to make sure the information is up to date.
Another purchase: iSirona, a firm in Panama City, Fla. that’s attempting to connect hospital machines with electronic health record systems. Soon-Shiong now claims that it can integrate 6,000 different medical devices, including pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitoring devices and bathroom scales, as well as hundreds of different types of clinical and financial software from every major medical vendor.
There were other technologies, too: Qi Imaging, a tool that allows CAT scans and MRIs to be viewed on mobile devices; GlowCap, an $80 pill bottle that lights up when patients at home need to take their medicine and lets doctors know they are opening the cap. He purchased and refurbished the National Lambda Rail, a high-speed government computer network, at a cost of $100 million, so all this data could move quickly from place to place. “In order to have value-based care you need to monitor outcomes in real time,” says Soon-Shiong. “And you need to monitor cost in real time. You’re going to have patient-centered highest-quality care at the lowest cost.”
All of these pieces–and dozens more that he’s bought or built–combine into a corporate structure as byzantine as his overarching product. His 800 employees are splintered across offices in 14 cities, and NantWorks, the parent holding company, houses nine separate units, all with different investor groups and each apparently designed to trade independently as a tracking stock. The first IPO, as early as next year, will likely be NantHealth, his health care information technology play, poised to profit from new payment schemes created by ObamaCare. Investors include Verizon, Celgene, BlackBerry and the Kuwait Investment Authority. FORBES values NantHealth alone at $1.6 billion. All told, FORBES values the entirety of Soon-Shiong’s Nant-related holdings at $7.7 billion.
The potential and pitfalls of Patrick Soon-Shiong’s medical Manhattan Project boil down to one statistic: 47 seconds. That’s the amount of time, the doctor/entrepreneur promises, it now takes for his amalgamated “supercomputer” to complete genomics analysis, all the way to identifying the individual protein in someone’s body that’s amenable to drug treatment. “It normally takes 11 weeks,” Soon-Shiong smiles.
Like so much he says, it’s a stunning statement with infinite promise. And an unverified one of the kind that makes Soon-Shiong polarizing.
When Soon-Shiong dramatically and fantastically described his platform in public for the first time, at the Forbes Healthcare Summit in New York last October, the preeminent doctors, scientists and health care executives in attendance ranked him the top speaker of the event (95% of attendees surveyed rated it good or excellent). Yet many of them were confused (#stilldontgetit, tweeted Halle Tecco of Rock Health, who runs an incubator for health IT companies) or skeptical (“It’s an avant-garde idea–and one that will be delivered in pieces,” said N. Anthony Coles, the former chief executive of Onyx Pharmaceuticals). Johns Hopkins professor (and Forbes.com contributor) Steven Salzberg, pondering the 47-second statement, posited: “What does that even mean?”
For the sake of clarity and credibility, I spent a disproportionate amount of my time over the past year focusing on his oft-repeated 47-second pledge. It turns out to be profoundly misleading because it is an average time, not the time for an individual. It’s like saying McDonald’s can hand you 800 Happy Meals the instant you pull up at a drive-thru window because the company serves 800 meals a second worldwide. The real question is: How fast can an individual patient’s genome be analyzed? Pushed, Soon-Shiong says he is aiming for 24 hours for each patient.
That’s still astoundingly fast. David Feinberg, the president of UCLA Health System, confirms that he got data back on cancer patients within a couple of days. Randy Axelrod, an executive vice president at Providence, where the Nant system will soon roll out, says he sent in DNA sequences from several patients and had them back within hours.
A bake-off by Genomics England, a government project that hopes to sequence 100,000 Britons, found that Nant was one of the few platforms that could consistently sequence cancer genomes quickly.
Even more impressive, Soon-Shiong says–and a number of experts believe–that he can already analyze 500 genomes a day, on par with the world’s most advanced DNA research centers, and will be able to do 4,000 a day by the end of next year. And Nant can move these huge sets of data to any hospital on his network almost instantaneously.
Which raises the question: Why the unnecessary, counterproductive hyperbole? How easy it could have been to instead take a bow for the hardware and the high-speed data connections he has built.
And why compare your time against another (11 weeks) that no longer seems to exist? “Our best shot with software that’s proprietary is 15 minutes, and then there’s still plenty of work to be done,” says Eric Topol, the chief academic officer at Scripps Health. Ultimately, whether you can do it in 47 seconds or an hour or five isn’t really what’s important. Accuracy and cost are.
Soon-Shiong angrily shrugs off the criticisms. “Unfortunately, when you go outside the accepted conventional bounds, some people feel threatened and strike out,” he says. “When you run a public company, short-sellers seize on it and give it even more legs. Fortunately, the strong persevere–and not just me–and we have a better world for it. If they didn’t, a lot of advances in health care, science and technology would never be achieved.”
Soon-Shiong’s chance to silence the doubters will soon begin. “You’ve got these fantastic ideas; you’ve got these fantastic people,” says Jim Davies, the chief technology officer of Genomics England. “Now is the bit where they roll it out.”
At St. John’s, an L.A. hospital to which Soon-Shiong has given $85 million, a prototype of a system is tracking patients’ treatments and what they cost in real time. And a full-scale deployment of Nant’s systems will roll out imminently at Providence Health & Services, which acquired St. John’s. Soon-Shiong met the system’s CEO, Rod Hochman, during the deal. They hatched the idea for using Providence not only as a testing ground for NantHealth’s software but also for its genetic tests, as it aims to offer them to every one of their 25,000 cancer patients each year.
Cancer is a disease of genetics. It happens when a genetic defect or, more likely, a collection of defects causes cells to go haywire and grow out of control. By identifying which genetic defects are present, and picking drugs to target them, doctors may be able to treat otherwise untreatable cancers.
Soon-Shiong has an example, identified using Nant technology. A woman was suffering from cervical cancer and had had her genome sequenced. When it was fed into Nant’s computers, they found that the human papilloma virus, which causes the cancer, had inserted itself into a gene called Her2. This is the target of the breast cancer drug Herceptin; when the woman was given Herceptin, a drug that would normally not be used for treating cervical cancer, her tumors shrank.
It’s a great story. But again, hype blurs the brilliance. Nant’s analysis had a wonderful result for the patient, but it’s hardly a medical breakthrough or even unique: Foundation Medicine, a cancer-genetics startup backed by Bill Gates and Google Ventures, has touted a case where cancer in a woman’s colon shrank because of a lung cancer drug.
As with everything in Big Data, what Nant brings is scale. Where Foundation Medicine tests patients’ tumors for mutations in 343 genes, Soon-Shiong plans to do 260 times more: sequencing the whole genome of the patient, the whole genome of the cancer (which is genetically distinct) and the chemical messages, known as RNA, generated by the cancer genome. Even with the use of DNA sequencers, this will cost $3,000 per patient just for sequencing, and it will take three days, plus another day for analysis. Providence expects to pay for this in part by getting insurers to pay for it.
In the end the most telling statement may have come at the Healthcare Summit from Susan Desmond-Hellmann, who watched Soon-Shiong’s rise when she ran clinical development at Genentech before becoming chancellor at the University of California, San Francisco and then CEO of the Gates Foundation: “Don’t underestimate him.”
“Deep down,” says ASU president Crow, “he knows that being the world’s richest doctor is not the check that he wants by his name. It’s insufficient.” “My quest was and is to improve the quality of life through science,” adds Soon-Shiong. “That is what drove me then, and that is what is driving me now.” The bad blood will mean nothing if he’s successful–and it seems very likely, based on a review of his claims, plans and investments, that he will succeed at something. Even a fraction of his grand vision will mean good news for millions of American patients.

Building Better Health: Innovative Strategies from America’s Business Leaders: the Bipartisan Policy Center was founded in 2007 by former Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole, and George Mitchell, the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is a nonprofit organization that drives principled solutions through rigorous analysis, reasoned negotiation, and respectful dialogue. With projects in multiple issue areas, BPC combines politically balanced policymaking with strong, proactive advocacy and outreach.
This report outlines the many ways in which our companies are working to improve health and well-being as well as the quality, cost, and patient experience of care.
From page #103 - The Overview and Appendix A and Summary supplies answers to questions of how Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong will change the face of Healthcare Worldwide.
(following content edited due to space limitations - all can be found under headings in full report at link above)
Overview
With the poorest outcomes and highest cost compared with the industrialized world, the health care system in the United States is failing. According to a 2014 independent Commonwealth Fund report, the United States ranks last among 11 industrialized countries on health care quality and access, despite having the costliest care. The report ranked the United Kingdom first overall, even though its per- capita health spending is less than half that of the United States. The information highway portion is tied in with Keyon Communications Holdings, Inc. thusly:
Grid-computing is a technology model designed to promote the coordinated sharing of resources in dynamic, multi- institutional virtual organizations. Grid-computing focuses on the loose coupling of data and services. This approach allows different institutions to come together to achieve
a particular goal while still maintaining local autonomy in issues ranging from information system architecture to institutional policy to patient privacy. This flexibility and focus on controlled sharing makes grid-computing particularly well suited to address the complexity of the fragmented health care system.
This infrastructure allows for the interoperable, secure sharing of health care data between institutions that likely have different information systems and policies. The IAH infrastructure is open to third-party end-user applications, including NantHealth applications, which will form a seamless ecosystem of functionalities that together create a distributed “virtual” longitudinal health record platform. Rather than trying to consolidate health data into physical databases, this “virtual” electronic health record will allow data to be stored locally and to be assembled and accessible in a dynamic fashion.
Paving a Medical Information Superhighway
IAH was established in 2011 with core funding from Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong and his wife Michele B. Chan, who have pledged through their family foundation more than $1 billion for health care and health information projects. The Institute currently operates in both California and Arizona and is exploring relationships with other states. In March 2011 it announced the funding of data centers in Phoenix and Scottsdale dedicated to health information storage, and also the funding of a dedicated supercomputer for genomic science in Phoenix.
IAH is working with the National Coalition for Health Integration (NCHI) to design and develop this innovative, groundbreaking infrastructure.
NCHI was formed to build a public private coalition of health care partners and academia dedicated to transforming health care by enhancing the availability and integration of health information across the country. In 2011, NCHI provided funding to maintain the viability of the National LambdaRail (NLR), a fiber infrastructure for numerous large research projects including users such as NASA, the National Science Foundation and US institutions connecting with the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. The NLR fiber infrastructure was designed for basic science and the physics scientific community. There is now an urgent national need to replace this aged infrastructure of the NLR with a modern fiber network integrated into clinical practices and hospital facilities across the nation and connected to the NCHI supercomputer in Arizona.
Providence Health, NantHealth and the Chan Soon- Shiong Institute of Molecular Medicine partnered in August 2014 to create the country’s first health network for clinical whole genomic sequencing. This health network spans 5 western states and serves 22,000 new cancer patients and 100,000 cancer cases per year. The partnership is installing an Illumina HiSeq X Ten sequencing system to enable the nation’s first clinical whole genome sequencing paired with RNA--\ sequencing and proteomics.
Increasing Access to Care
Leveraging technologies such as low-cost telehealth will increase access to underserved urban and rural areas, in addition to primary care specialties such as pediatrics, where access to neonatologists and pediatricians is deficient. Technology can reduce disparities in health care for everyone.
Establishing a Next Generation National Secure Infrastructure for Big Data Transport
In March 2011 IAH announced the funding of data centers in Phoenix and Scottsdale dedicated to health information storage, and also the funding of a dedicated supercomputer in Phoenix.
A modernized network under construction, combined with existing data centers and supercomputer connections, will enable massive amounts of genomic and proteomic data to be transmitted, analyzed and used to support clinical decisions, thereby improving health outcomes. This infrastructure will help realize the dream of effective, efficient, and truly “personalized” medicine in America.
In Summary
The discovery of “the God particle” (in the Large Hadron collider project) involved the collaboration of hundreds of physicists across the globe, collaborating in real-time by analyzing millions of bits of data. This achievement occurred through the creation of virtual organizations committed to a common cause, utilizing grid-computing and an information highway (the National LambdaRail) for large science projects. This was the motivation and inspiration for the medical information highway.

Vector-based anomaly detection
Patent number: 8683591
Abstract: Methods of detecting anomalous behaviors associated with a fabric are presented. A network fabric can comprise many fungible networking nodes, preferably hybrid-fabric apparatus capable of routing general purpose packet data and executing distributed applications. A nominal behavior can be established for the fabric and represented by a baseline vector of behavior metrics. Anomaly detection criteria can be derived as a function of a variation from the baseline vector based on measured vectors of behavior metrics. Nodes in the fabric can provide a status for one or more anomaly criterion, which can be aggregated to determine if an anomalous behavior has occurred, is occurring, or is about to occur.

Software application striping
Patent number: 8364744
Abstract: A distributed computing system comprising networking infrastructure and methods of executing an application on the distributed computing system is presented. Interconnected networking nodes offering available computing resources form a network fabric. The computing resources can be allocated from the networking nodes, including available processing cores or memory elements located on the networking nodes. A software application can be stored in a system memory comprising memory elements allocated from the nodes. The software application can be disaggregated into a plurality of executable portions that are striped across the allocated processing cores by assigning each core a portion to execute. When the cores are authenticated with respect to their portions, the cores are allowed to execute the portions by accessing the system memory over the fabric. While executing the software application, the networking nodes having the allocated cores concurrently forward packets through the fabric.

Surface-Space Managed Network Fabric
Application number: 20090154391
Abstract: A managed surface-space network fabric is presented. The surface-space network fabric can include a spaced-based network fabric and a surface-based network fabric integrated together to form a single fabric managed by a global fabric manager. The global fabric manager cooperates with other fabric managers local to each fabric to establish a communication topology among all the nodes of the fabric. Preferred topologies include paths from any port on a node to any other port on another node in the fabric. The surface-space fabric, and each individual fabric, can function as a distributed core fabric operating as a single, coherent device.

DISAGGREGATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Application number: 20090157860
Abstract: Systems and methods for disaggregated management of a network fabric are presented. Network elements composing the network fabric can operate as a fabric manager with respect to one or more management functions while also continuing to operate as a communication conduit among hosts using the fabric. The roles or responsibilities of a fabric manager can migrate from one network element to another to preserve management coherency as well as to secure management of the network. Additionally, fabric managers communicate with the network fabric through one or more management channels.
