lesn: Which still means that KEYO will never trade again. You will never be able to sell. New common shares would be issued, given a new symbol, and sold on the market and then everyone can buy in again.
However, the KEYO shares are a total loss. They were VOLUNATARILY terminated in 2011. Then Keyon was VOLUNTARILY dissolved and the shares were cancelled. There is no legal way to reverse the termination. Then, according to local legend, Soon-Shiong voluntarily stopped KEYO from trading in the same year he planned his IPO for Nanthealth.
It sure seems, Soon-Shiong successfully did everything he could for the last 5 years to make sure no one could ever use Keyon again.
heidib: Exactly. Not cancelled but merely waiting to be exchanged. Dr.SS has until late May, 2017 to complete that transaction and four days later, "SUPER 8K" bomb dropped on the market ushering in the largest RTM in the market's history.
It will look pretty much just like this...
That was from Nate's Food Co. If one compares the details of the filings, they are identically checked.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1409446/000109635011000021/form15.htm
It will be tried to be argued that, "oh, Nate's (former CCRA) shows "Suspension of duty to report [Section 13 and 15(d)]", and KEYO's shows, "Securities registration termination [Section 12(g)]". ROTF!!!
But, that line is easily shot down when one sees that neither of those sections for CCRA's filing are indicated...
You definitely GET IT HB!
However, just want you to know - it's Your Call! ROTFLMAO!
heidi: Or you could read the 8K filing posted by HMB. Or Google it. Your call.
Indeed! Copy ALL and very well said!
Rather Hilarious the way things get so twisted and at times outright FALSE! It's so easy to tell FACTS and TRUTH, as they can be verified and have been posted. Basic comprehension and should be able to....GET IT!
The possibility DOES exist the KEYO Non-PUBCO Trading clean debt-free shell worth 30MM NOLs can be used. Watching for that NANT-Works/NANT ticker for NANT Rocket Ship Blast-Off!
heidi: If you prefer we can use the more definitive terms that KEYO common shares are terminated. Shares are 'cancelled' with a filing of the Keyon Certificate of Dissolution with the state's Secretary of State. Shares are 'terminated' by filing the SEC Form 15.
Keyo common shares were permanently terminated in 2011 with a Form 15. The cancellation would include the preferred shares.
The net effect is the same: common shares of KEYO haven't existed since 2011.
P.S. You will notice MeckklerMedia also filed their Form 15 for their common stock leaving ALL their shares either cancelled or terminated. The same as Keyon.
HMB did NOT miss a filing. The two boxes checked on that filing have NOTHING to do with the cancellation of shares!

(a) Termination of registration of a class of securities under section 12(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78l(g)) shall take effect 90 days, or such shorter period as the Commission may determine, after the issuer certifies to the Commission on Form 15 (17 CFR 249.323) that the class of securities is held of record by:

LNS: It truly is hilarious to see continued denial of TRUE FACTS get so twisted! ROTFLMAO and so obvious!
That's correct - we Get It and are Locked-In! Looking forward to that day also!
YES, the possibility DOES exist the KEYO Non-PUBCO Trading clean debt-free shell worth 30MM NOLs can be used. Watching for that NANT-Works/NANT ticker for NANT Rocket Ship Blast-Off!
lesn:
RDY: Many of us do and did and bought up most of the float. A group of like-minded individuals that can see past the surface "facts" and look under the covers, diving ever deeper to understand why one of the world's leading respected financial minds, FORBES, would go out on such a limb and suggest such a thing as it strongly "appears NantWorks, the parent holding company, which houses nine separate units, all with different investor groups and each apparently designed to trade independently as a tracking stock".
It's hilarious to watch the daily wailing and gnashing of teeth over something one has nothing at all to do with. ROTFL! All the while denying the fact that (as we've shown countless times)...
KEYO STILL IN PLAY!
To deny that is to either blatantly deny the facts of how reverse triangular mergers work, how dissolutions work and how tracking stocks work.
It's reached the point of utter absurdity and it's beyond boring now to show any more as it's all there in past posts. Not to mention, a total waste of time.
But who cares for now, really, since nobody can buy nor sell any of this non-reporting, non-trading shell. But, it will be real fun having all those posts here in perpetuity for historical value so all can look back and see where the truth and deception was to be found and not found.
lns
RDY: Exactly. As his post shows, KEYO will never trade again.
RDY: Exactly. As he is pointing out, Soon-Shiong VOLUNTARILY dissolved KEYO.
Thanks HTM, makes total sense - I GET IT!
LNS really like your deep dive assessment! I also GET IT!
The possibility DOES exist the KEYO Non-PUBCO Trading clean debt-free shell worth 30MM NOLs can be used. Watching for that NANT-Works/NANT ticker for NANT Rocket Ship Blast-Off!
The facts as we know them today:
-Soon-Shiong has never said he wants to use tracking stocks.
-Soon-Shiong has never said he is using tracking stocks.
-Soon-Shiong certainly never said he was doing a RTM.
-Soon-Shiong has never said he was taking Nantworks public.
-Soon-Shiong has never said KEYO will be used for taking anything public.
-Soon-Shiong did say he was planning an 'IPO' for Nanthealth.
-With NK, Soon-Shiong showed he really likes a nice IPO. The original launch piled on another $1B to his fortune. Much of that is gone.
-Forbes, despite all the name dropping, has never confirmed any part of Soon-Shiong doing a reverse triangular merger. They have only said it will be an IPO. Like Soon-Shiong said!
-Keyon cannot go public by merging two private companies.
-Keyon cannot go public by merging two private companies with a trust.
-A RTM can be announced in advance.
-KEYO is not traded so it is impossible to have insider trading!
-Nantworks is not traded so it is impossible to have insider trading!
-Soon-Shiong VOLUNTARILY let Keyon dissolve.
-Soon-Shiong VOLUNTARILY let Keyon stop trading in the same year he planned to IPO Nanthealth.
-A reverse triangular merger, even tax-free, needs a publicly traded shell company.
-KEYO is no longer a company.
-Keyon is not a shell.
-KEYO no longer trades publicly.
-KEYO will never trade again.
-Therefore, KEYO is not a publicly traded shell company.
-Therefore, KEYO cannot be used in a RTM.
Are there any other new crazy ideas we need to clear up?
We Get It!
Do we know 100% for sure, of course not, but the possibility STILL exists the KEYO Non-PUBCO Trading clean debt-free shell worth 30MM NOLs can be revived, and watch for that NANT-Works/NANT ticker for NANT Rocket Ship Blast-Off!
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=121146098
lesn: As these links point out, KEYO will never trade again. Therefore, KEYO former investors are permanently 'locked in' and can never sell.
So we are back to my original question: how in the world do former KEYO shareholders, whose KEYO shares were permanently deregistered, profit from the possible rise of a whole new Keyon Communications Holdings, Inc.?
Nobody can answer the question.
RDY: The three most recent explanation of how Keyo would go public (none of them would work)
1. When two private companies merge, they automatically begin to trade publicly.
2. When two private companies and a 'trust' merge, they automatically begin to trade.
3. You file a 'Super 8K' and Keyon automatically begins to trade.
It has also been posted by RTM architects that KEYO will never trade again. This is the correct answer.
RDY: Yes, we do! Welcome! lns_eom
Open eyes...it most certainly has been posted and recently, keep digging!
RDY: That was the explanation before it stopped trading.
Hey LNS:
I greatly appreciate your DD and posts - thank you! This is a great read and thanks for posting!
And another outstanding post here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=121146098
We GET IT!
ROTFLMAO! It's there....keep digging!
RDY: Before KEYO was cancelled, it was a popular myth that trading showed it could still be used as the parent and proof positive that Soon-Shiong planned to use Keyon in a RTM. Since it stopped trading in the year everyone predicted the RTM, no one has taken the time to explain how a non-trading non-existent former company is used in a RTM.
pt - LOL! Obviously NOT! It has been posted and more than once. Keep digging to....GET IT!
The dissolve status had been posted back in 2014 right here and the whole page:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=105292077
RDY: I have read every post since I posted the status report that Keyon Communications Holdings was dissolved. At the time, the explanation was that an existing company did not matter as long as KEYO kept trading. Once KEYO stopped trading, a viable path forward has never been explained.
I laid out an 8 step plan but it could not explain how anyone could get their money out of KEYO.
LOL! Keep reading "all" on the board!
RDY: Again, another posts about 'facts' that contains not a single 'fact.' There are no facts on this board that explain how a non-existent, non-public former company, that will never trade again, such as Keyon, can be used as the the trading public company in a RTM. Nobody has even tried except for the resent proposal that it could all be done with a Super 8K. Problem is the Super 8K Item 5.06 is used to cease a shell company and Keyon is already ceased.
pt - LMAO! AGAIN those questions have ALREADY been answered and on the board. Just refusal to except answers with FACTS seems to be occurring and probably another reason. TRY to stop ignoring FACTS and comprehend all the possible ways the NANT EMPIRE can go PUBCO, and....GET IT!
Rock on Parent NANT-Works / KEYO Shell RTM and issue Tracking Stocks from Parent for the NantHealth Tracking Stock IPO!
rdy: Like the other posts on the subject, that was long on declarations but has zero to offer in the way of actual 'facts.'
Yes, a non-existing company can go public to be used in a RTM.
1. Set up a charter for a new company with a state.
2. Do an IPO.
The question is why would anyone do that for a RTM instead just doing an IPO for Nanthealth. Well, that is one glaring question no one can answer, but there is a whole list of them, like:
Why would anyone use a former penny stock to go public at $25 a share?
Why would anyone allow the trading to stop on a company they planned to use for a RTM a few months later?
How do KEYO shares, that no longer exist, become existing shares in another company? Why would the board approve any transaction like that?
Why would anyone use a company they believed they dissolved in 2012?
Etc.
pt - as usual, agree to disagree!
The "FACT" - It has been shown a non-PUBCO shell can be revived and used PUBCO with a RTM. Stop ignoring that all the facts have been explained on the board how this could STILL go down! This has been explained over and over and over, just facts seem to be ignored for "whatever the reason"!
Do we know 100% for sure, of course not, and has been said many times! All the very good reasons why this could STILL go down has also been explained many times. TRY to read the board again.
I look forward to the day this DOES go down and sure hope all naysayers are still around!
Rock on Parent NANT-Works / KEYO Shell RTM and issues Tracking Stocks from Parent for the NantHealth Tracking Stock IPO!
RDY: The 'fact' that no one can now explain how a dissolved non-public former company is used in a RTM is enough for anyone to 'comprehend' that this is a scam.
With the 1/2 dozen investigations into the NK IPO, I don't expect to see any in Nant companies go public for some time. Full disclosure: I have traded 100s of thousands of shares of NK.
Oh but we have explained, just need to comprehend good factual info!
RDY: OK, you explain. I don't know who 'we' is.
How do you use KEYO as the publicly traded company in a RTM when KEYO is no longer a company and doesn't trade publicly? What company is the publicly traded company in this crazy scheme? What is Keyon's role?
Lay it out as Step 1, 2, 3...
Hey! I will start:
1. In 2012, Tom says he dissolved all the KEYO entities.
2. In 2015, the SOS shows the status of KEYO as dissolved.
3. In 2015, the year Soon-Shiong planned a Nanthealth IPO, KEYO stops trading permanently.
4. In 2015, Soon-Shiong executes a non-tracking stock IPO for Nantkwest.
5. In 2015, Soon-Shiong cancels IPO for Nanthealth.
6. In 2016, Soon-Shiong says he may launch another Nanthealth bid for a planned IPO. No mention of a RTM or a tracking stock. Just an IPO.
7. ...
LOL! Oh but we have explained!
RDY: No, no one has explained.
Oh but we have explained how this could possibly go down! Refusing to accept the possibility DOES exist is rather very amusing! LOL!
It's all on the board when comprehended correctly - GET IT or NOT!
Rock on Parent NANT-Works / KEYO Shell RTM and issues Tracking Stocks from Parent for the NantHealth Tracking Stock IPO!
RDY: Nobody has explained how you profit off a stock that stopped trading because the company was dissolved. Everyone seems to admit that it will never trade again.
There's outstanding Factual Information with links and NOT hearsay rubbish opinions!
Why anyone would think a "Tracking" Stock could go public w/out the Parent company being PUBCO, just clearly can NOT comprehend the FACTS/TRUTH of how it's done. The links for reverse merger, tracking stock IPO (not normal IPO) have been posted over and over and over.
Time will tell and THIS YEAR!
Rock On NANT-Works / KEYO Shell RTM and NantHealth Tracking Stock IPO 2016!
lesn: Dell, a private company is using VMWare as a publicly traded tracking stock. Nantworks does not have to public to be a parent in any go-public transaction.
Your first quote would be the opposite of a tracking stock and I don't see Soon-Shiong going for debt financing.
RDY: Check this out:
http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/encyclopedia/Gov-Inc/Holding-Companies.html#ixzz4356uCHww
rdy: It is not hard. KEYO will never trade again. Done.
Which means you can never sell your KEYO shares. Which means they are worthless.
What I don't get is why anyone wants worthless shares. Why do you want to be permanently 'locked in?'
And let the TRUTH be known!
However, Comprehension is required to - GET IT!
pt - LMAO!!!
RDY: Even Mr. Hes said KEYO won't trade again. So how does former KEYO 'investors' win? I don't get it. How do owners of a stock that will never trade again ever get their capital back?

**********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.

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.
