I know that I'm not the best at this sort of thing, but others on this board could definitely flesh out a timeline that would make Perry Mason happy. Please review and edit.
That wouldn't be the first time...
Xechem Timeline: Please Help
Dr. Pandey working for Abbott Laboratories, working on antibiotics and cancer treatments that cost $3 million, $4 million or $5 million per kilogram
Approached by Lyphomed to help them develop generic vancomycin. The only company making it was Eli Lilly and their patent had been expired for five years. (Swift worked for Eli Lilly).
Founded Xechem
Xechem Mission Statement: Make needed drugs that no one else would make.
Begins generic production of vancomycin in Copenhagen and Japan. "We made our money back in less than two weeks. It changed my life".
Bought Xechem from its parent company in 1990.
"As the company prepared for its first public offering, an untimely patent extension (sound fishy) was granted to another firm and this sent Xechem stock into a freefall". UPI
Approached by Nigerians to develop Nicosan
1999
Zkem patent for Paclitaxel - outperforms Bristol-Myers Squib version
Bristol Meyrs sues - Xechem sues... Xechem wins, but has been drained of badly need capital.
Dec. 2006 - Named CEO of the year by CBS MarketWatch
Martin Luther King,Jr.'s niece writes a song about Dr. Pandey
New Nigerian factory is under construction. New high yield dryers are ordered and arrive in customs in Nigeria.
Basu buys in to Xechem and puts Dr. Robert Swift on the BOD.
(Need dates)
Trouble begins for Xechem and Dr. Pandey
May 3rd, 2007 - Dr. Swift becomes a Director at Xechem
August 20th, 2007 -Dr.Swift becomes "Chief Oversight Officer".
Swift is already the Interim CEO, Interim President, and Chairman of the Board since July 5th, 2007 (that didn't take long - I guess you can move up quick with a knife in your hand.IMO)
Dr. Swift is a healthcare consultant. He has 15 years of experience in molecular biology, cancer research, biopharmaceuticals and medical devices, and over ten years of experience with ELI LILLY. He has five years as an investment bilker I mean banker. In 2001 Swift joins Origin Capital Management. He's there until 2004.
11/05/2008 - AesRx, LLC is formed. Registrant: Mr. Seiler
THE NEXT DAY...
11/06/2008 - Dr. Swift proposes selling 5hmf to Mr. Seiler of the newly formed delaware corp. SCD Newco or one of their affiliates (AesRx) for $325,000.
With a motion from Mr. Burg, seconded by Mr. Biggs, with both of them and Dr. Swift voting in favor, Dr. Pandey voting against. The motion passes.
Board also votes on Chapter 11. Dr. Pandey again votes against this, but is outvoted and Dr. Swift is put in charge of handling the bankruptcy.
The meeting is adjourned at 12:20 pm - 11/06/2008
Not necessarily. If they were allowed to proceed as planned a couple of years ago we would have a brand new facility running day and night, producing millions of doses. The US and EU markets would be online or close to it (stage 3 not withstanding), sale and marketing for Nicosan going full swing and many other products being tested and introduced. I have been going over the old press releases and history of Zkem (for those that remember that symbol) and Dr. Pandey has many treatments that could be re-released or researched and developed. Don't forget even while all of this garbage with Xechem has been going on he has continued to do what he does best research and development.
NICOSAN, PACILTAXEL, DIHALOCEPHALOMANNINE ...pytopharmacuiticals, etc...
That's probably why they are trying to kill it, so that when they do leave there won't be anything or anyone left to come after them and sue them for fraud. IMO
We should all continue to call Swift and Burg until we get some answers or until they release their choke hold on Xechem. If as we suspect that they are deliberately trying to kill Xechem then we need to redouble our efforts to get law enforcement involved and pry their fingers off of Xechem's throat before it's too late.
These three definitely need to go before Xechem can move forward. We need to take all of this information/evidence and get it organizied and present our case to the FBI, SEC, NJ Dept. of Criminal Justice, Eric Holder and the DEA (as suggested by the FBI). There are a lot of smart cookies on this site who have put in many hours. What we need to do is have a prosecutor review it and hopefully get some indictments. We need to think of what they did criminally and present that information, otherwise the authorities will roll their eyes and say it's a civil matter which would take too long and be too late to save Xechem.
Your welcome. Do you know any photographers or reporters in Fort Collins? Oh by the way, he lives in Larimer County.
Larimer County Tax Assessor 7982 Bayside Dr.
Just in case your attorney was interested.
Amen to that!
Thanks, I will check it out.

" Is this Robert Swift", "yes",... "Have you ever heard of Xechem International?", click......
I don't know if this is our favorite person or not, but he doesn't want to talk.
Collins Stewart, LLC is also the name of a well known investment bank on Wall St.
Thanks. Let's keep digging until we find all the connections.
6 degrees of Swift.
Very nice. Any chance it would work for Swift or Burg?
Has anyone heard of Collins Stewart, LLC? I think Swift is tied to it somehow.
I guess at this point the only posters that I would like to see Swift's face on would be in a post office. Swift do you remember many years ago saying an oath "Do No Harm..."
A shadow of a man
To Swift for our sight
A plague upon the earth
Who spreads tears and fright
Deaf to the cries
Of those he has harmed
Secretly plotting against
Those he has charmed
Victims one and all
Pray to find a way
To help those who suffer
And witness Swift's judgement day
Can we at least get a complementary picture of Swift and Burg for our dart boards?
You are most welcome. Once again you are a GODSEND! Monty! Monty! Monty! Monty! etc...
The FBI wants some hard evidence before they will open an investigation. They suggested calling the DEA. I'm not kidding.
Somebody must have information that could give the authorities the leverage they need to pry those two parasites RS & SB off of Xechem.
"You don't have to become something you hate in order to get what you want". I sent this to someone else several years ago when I thought that they were giving in to their base desires to "rise up the ladder". I now remind myself of this when it comes to Swift and Burg, and what I think (need hard evidence that will hold up in court) that they have done to this company, its shareholders and the people who need this medicine. The temporary satisfaction that would be felt by reaching for the club would be far surpassed by getting a conviction. I would love to see Swift and Burg get their fifteen minutes of fame, but it will take a coordinated team effort to make it happen. In the end this is not going to be about money, but doing what's right. Monty, you have become the defacto coach, how can we help you make the next play?
I do remember the issues with Dr. Pandy and I am sure that this has been a very painful lesson for him as well. Many of us felt that there was a need for someone with more of a head for business and finance to come onboard and help the company in that regard. Dr. Swift certainly seemed like a good choice at the time, and Basu was waving around a large sum of badly needed money. It seemed like a no brainer... Unfortunetly it is easier to read a resume than the contents of someones heart. After speaking with Dr. Pandy I truely believe that his heart was in the right place and still is. The man is passionate about his research. As I have learned from my own experience, it is imposible to run a business without the right people, in the right positions, at the right time. Choosing the wrong person is like stepping into a minefield.
We can win this battle if we stick together.
No problem. Like the famous song says "I get by with a little help from my friends". I think a lot more people are going to be singing that one, myself included, but that's ok just pay it forward and help somebody else. Lets rally the troops and take the fight to them. Let us focus our collective energy and be heard.
The money is for an attorney to represent the shareholders interests, not the companies. Many of us feel that this is worth fighting for and that this isn't just another investment that didn't workout. I can totally understand your frustration, as we all do, but if you've reached your limit then it might be better for you to write this one off and forget about it. Many of us feel that what happened to this company is criminal and what happened to the patients is inhuman. We would welcome another fighter for the cause and hope that you might reconsider, if for no other reason then to try to make sure that the crimials responsible Xechem's current situation don't get a chance to do this to someone else.
Beautiful! Keep up the good work. Any photos of swift?
Criminals do not like bright lights and lots of noise.
The only way that your going to get rid of Swift or Burg is if they get indicted. If you get Burg first he might roll over on Swift. The FBI and the New Jersey Department of Criminal Justice need all of the information that the we can give them. Then this has to become a public outrage and get lots of news coverage showing what they did to the shareholders, and more importantly to the people and their families that suffer with this disease. If it gets news coverage, people become outraged, they call their representatives, representatives tell the legal department to do something to get the people off of their backs, Swift and Burg go bye bye.
Bravo! Lets kick their crooked asses.
Thank you. Nicosan actually got mentioned on the air. We should all enjoy this momemt. This might be a good time to focus our energy as a group and call and email CNN and ask for more information on the sickle cell treatment that was mentioned in the story ...do you think we could generate a thousand calls/emails in one day? If they think the audience is listening they'll do a follow up, more people will become aware of Nicosan and begin calling in... maybe they could do a investigative report on our nemisis, the elusive,
un-photographable Dr.Swift. What is it with this guy, does he not show up on film?
Do you know when it was mentioned on CNN?
Happy Birthday!
Raven, I think that you hit the nail on the head. This is criminal and they should be prosecuted! A friend of mine out here in LA is a prosecutor. I am going to ask him to take a look and ask how it should be presented to the NJ Dept. of Criminal Justice. I spoke to them some time back and they said to gather evidence and then send it to them with a cover letter. They will take a look and then decide if there is enough to start an investigation.
Thank you. You're a godsend.
Great video Lochute. It helps us to count our blessings an keep our priorities straight.
Thank you for all of your hard work.
Imf1264 and Fiat,
I am currently holding 3,050,000 shares of Xechem International that you may include in your counts. Could you please email me your contact info again. Thanks, John
wellsq31@sbcglobal.net
Thanks for the information Fiat. I'm onboard. We need to stick together on this and bring as much public attention as possible. It would be great if we can organize a protest outside of the courthouse or some other location where the news media might pick it up. I wonder how Dr. Swift, Basu and the other BOD members would feel if they saw their good names linked to their infamous deeds and broadcast on national tv? We would need about 100 protesters with great big signs to attract a couple of news crews and reporters, and Chicago would be a great place to start. We need to get organized and start sending emails to Sickle Cell Associations, churches, schools, anyone who will listen. We've all just witnessed what a well organized group can do. We can do the same. It is one thing to make a bad investment, it's another to get ripped off and have some big pharma flunky thumbing his nose at us as he walks off with the prize. We need a focal point to place our collective energy. A thousand emails directed at a single target in one day will definitely get somebodies attention. We also need to drop the curtain and introduce ourselves. My name is John Wells. I live in Los Angeles. Ph. 310-930-7100 email: wellsq31@sbcglobal.net
Let us fight this battle. Even if we lose at least we tried.
I agree with you 100%. I do believe Dr. Swift may have had a back-up plan for the 5-HMF, just in case the company he was responsible for just-happen-to-fail. However I don't believe fraud or conspiracy to commit fraud is covered under bankruptcy protection. I really hope that I am wrong about him for all of our sakes, but his really smells bad. IMO
