Sean Williams, Motley Fool author won't tell you but I will:
Syndros is looking like a major whiff
Syndros is a liquid analog of a fully legal decades-long FDA-approved synthetic pure THC drug branded Marinol [generic name: dronabinol].
There has never been a legal banning of Marinol as marijuana or "pot" - the name favored by Mr. Williams - but Insys' liquified and aerosolized version of dronabinol carries the the handicap of a Class II addictive drug, which it isn't. The patented delivery of carefully titred patented delivery system offers very fast relief directly into the bloodstream through the mouth but there is no relief for Syndros from the false claims of the FDA. INSY even had to struggle to avoid the Class I label of an addictive drug without any medical value.
How many doctors and patients are going to be willing to go to the extra trouble for a lie every well-educated person knows is false?
Will INSY be destroyed while the real culprits in the drug wars escape?
Could be.
I am betting INSY will survive and thrive but I have no good defense against someone calling me a damn fool instead of a Motely Fool.

Pitcook,
So Mr. Einstein quoter errr Terry
When Hermann Einstein went to young Albert's elementary school on parents day, he asked the principal what course of study he would recommend.
The principal replied that it didn't matter what Albert studied, he would fail at everything.
Talk about failure, Albert Einstein's monumental failures began at a very young age. He made elaborate plans on getting out of that school but before any came to fruition he was thrown out of school for lack of effort and aptitude.
Einstein was a true autistic - not in the me-too autism spectra that is far less severe. He handled failure and a terrible handicap with grit and perseverance so that his incredible achievements make his very name synonymous with genius.
Satisfied, friend?
If they can't perfect the GOO, what will we have to sell?
Nothing in this life is perfect.
As with Albert Einstein's work, one must do the best they can and then they may be a success. I expect LWLG's imperfect polymers and further development will be a huge success but I can be wrong like all humans.
Peace, please.

I am not necessarily disagreeing with you, Spumoni, and I am not buying more MZEI nor advising anyone else to buy but I don't think it is necessarily a lunatic idea.
Best, Terry
Ya gotta be nuts to buy this stock especially now!
Fellow made himself a billionaire buying stocks like this.
Different field but he bought penny stocks trying to sell optical cable when lasers were still new and there were many optical cable stocks trying to get a piece of the action. Our hero, I have forgotten his name, bought shares in all of them. He had no insight into the technology or particular knowledge of any company except knowing all were starving for business and some were bankrupt.
This seems quite different with no obvious capable competition for MZEI at the moment but reluctance of hospitals to invest in the technology and regulatory authorities to approve the super sanitation has echoes of the optical cable situation with starving companies fighting over bones shorn of meat.
I know of no way of carving out a similar field of endeavor for hospital sanitation but there is going to be lots of money made by somebody or lots of people likely to die as is happening again in Africa with ebola [Republic of the Congo].

There should be a way to remove all sharp instruments and keyboards from short hunters before they harm themselves and others.

if the lab hit a snags, god forbid, a healthier running company can keep it's a head above water a little easier.
Labs are mostly snags and blunders and interferences - nothing but a sea of trouble when you are doing R&D.
Our lab prophet apparently isn't aware that even the final-final run to perfection is fudged. As we have learned in recent decades even The Great Historical Scientists fudged their experimental data.
Obviously the labwork is crucial but claiming the labwork is all there is is like claiming boiling water is all there is to gourmet cooking.
There is a story that Mrs. Albert Einstein was among a group of other tourists on an astronomical laboratory tour. At the end of the tour, Mrs. Einstein asked the tour guide what the purpose of all these wonderful telescopes and other equipment along with all the scientists and staff was for.
"Madam," said the tour guide, "we are attempting to solve the riddle of the nature of the universe."
"That's wonderful," said Mrs. Einstein. "My husband is working on the same problem. He uses the backs of envelopes."
People looking at all the machinery and visual wonders and listening to fine talk would be well advised to see if they could find the the guy scratching out stuff with pencil and paper - or old envelopes - in a cubby hole somewhere.
He needs the former but he - or she - is the one best able to make sense of things - like Lebby, who lives hundreds of miles away from any LWLG labs.

From teleconference:
Our ARVO data, along with the presentation of the Cell and Gene Therapy Summit at [indiscernible] ARVO were well received by those in attendance. During the conference, we were posted by several therapeutic area experts who complimented us on the exciting data. The main takeaway from these interactions was that there is a high level of excitement for and anticipation of the functional assessments and measurements of cohort 4 we may see before year-end.
Yeah, I would expect the "postings" would be enthusiastic but to date the subjects are all functionally blind before and after treatment or we would have heard otherwise.
The more exciting news may come from the less severely damaged eyes of volunteers in cohort 4.
Meanwhile the CE mark has been approved for the Renevia treatment of AIDS patients that I regard as a very big deal.
However Dr. West may prosper or suffer at AgeX, I have high hope for BTX.
Admittedly I have had to accommodate myself to much severe disappointment in R&D.

Penny stocks and bankruptcy are two words that never work or play well together for shareholders
There are thousands of penny stocks and thousands of stories - millions for all I know.
One I had was dead, deceased, kaput, gone, Pfffttt. It rose from the dead on the National Stock Exchange - there was such an exchange though the largest broker on earth at the time wouldn't believe me until he keyed in the symbol.
The stock was later a huge winner on a string of stock exchanges ending on the NYSE until Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes destroyed the Franklin Mint with a pawnbroker's bucket.
I so wanted to go to the last annual meeting in Chicago - where else? - but I had sold all my shares even before the management and directors. Shareholders were patted down after proving they were still stockholders and the officers of the company wore bulletproof vests and had armed guards with dogs.
Stocks and stories differ.
Best, Terry
ElisStaying,
You are an invaluable resource on this board IMO.
This is not, not, not a comment on you, your knowledge and generosity in sharing but that section on the care and concern for patents in bankruptcy proceedings reads like a fairy tale to me.
Time ago a biotech was threatened with disaster by an issued patent claiming the basic foundation of a new biotech as its own. That was more than a little mystifying.
The patent was based on the experiments carried out by a Russian sugar scientist [that name of a very deep, obscure science has changed since we all hate sugar ], a professor at Moscow University, who had carried out his initial experiments there supporting the patent.
The U.S. Patent Office Examiner examining a challenge to the patent by a molecular biologist who had confessed to applying for the patent based on a stolen inter-office memorandum his boss had tasked him with using.
The patent examiner rejected the challenge the patent owner's affidavit because the patent owner hadn't proved he had used somebody else's work even though the owner seemed very ignorant of the science.
Now imagine this patent was in the care of a bunch of lawyers...
Actually it was and a bankruptcy of the patent leasees solved the biotech's problem.
Real life and law often operate in very different spheres.

Stock62,
I bought an early round Private equity 14 years ago by the name of Bloom Energy and over $1B in private equity rounds later they still haven't completed their IPO. They have been featured on 60 minutes and Former Secretary of state and 4 star General Colin Powel has been on the board for years now and the IPO is back on the table for next month. We will see...
I appreciate this tale of woe particularly because I absolutely refused to buy an enchanting $2 stock that was then one of yesteryear's penny dreadfuls because ex-President Ford was a primary member of the group doing the IPO of a biotech.
President Ford's sole contributions to medicine consisted of the swine flu vaccine that maimed and killed [actually a courageous decision but not in keeping with my point ] and deciding for his wife to have a breast chopped off when there were better and more attractive options.
The biotech pioneered timed-release pills, made a fortune and made me despise President Ford even more for preventing me from buying it.
I take a bit of an exception to your example, Stock62. LWLG remains a "penny dreadful," a "junk" stock, "bush meat," whatever grabs you for an epithet to Wall Street and will for a while yet as the sort of folk who fall down open manholes because they are short-sighted dream of Mr. Big buying instead of seeing a giant being born.
Maybe LWLG will be lost to the vultures but that's a worry beyond our control and safely in Lebby's hands IMO.
Best, Terry
___Futurist,
The question is: Will the shareholders get it together to work out a plan of action
For now the "the shareholders" are an unorganized, angry, discouraged lynch mob that would love to hang somebody despite some individuals like yourself trying to find a rational solution in the melee.
Obviously two groups stand out: the erstwhile management whose rescue plans were aborted by the bankruptcy petition and the abortionists - in the latter singular case an ugly epithet to this choicer and I reckon most stockholders.
While being fully aware many, and perhaps a huge majority, would toss the putative management in bed with the above described abortionists, I suggest to you the SEC is little better than the abortionists with Dodd and crew our best hope.
When Franklin Roosevelt got Congress to establish the SEC, Roosevelt appointed Joe Kennedy to run the joint because he fully acknowledged nobody was better at fixing markets than Joe Kennedy.
The current hapless crew at the SEC couldn't fix a parking ticket in my estimation. It has been increasingly worthless through all administrations for decades IMHO. Computers today control most trading and that silicon "intelligence" is even better at creating crashes than Elon Musk's driverless cars:

As a result of filing of the Bankruptcy Case, Lenard F. Schwartzer, Esq., Schwartzer & McPherson Law Firm, 2850 South Jones Boulevard, Suite 1, Las Vegas, Nevada 89146 (702-228-7590) has been appointed as Chapter 7 trustee by the Bankruptcy Court and has assumed control of the Company. The assets of the Company will be liquidated in accordance with the Code.
So?
You think Mr. Schwartzer will have a yard sale or allow a group organized to develop the assets with advanced plans to fund further development to take control of the assets after disposing of fraudulent claims that landed MZEI in bankruptcy court in the first place?
I bet even a lawyer can figure that one out.
Could be wrong.

BenK,
I have none of your insight into current management and thank you most gratefully for that.
I can tell you I knew a fellow who had an ice cream business that went bankrupt and somehow managed to sell from the remains for years afterwards. It was never clear to me what the heck he was selling but as dump pickers ourselves it is hardly surprising to us.
These days the backbone of our business is antique tools. You need a cooper's tool to make barrels? We probably have one though the coopers that even selected and harvested the trees for their handmade barrels are long dead.
We did have a devil of a time selling a turkey cartilage extractor - one real mean looking device that I was expecting only someone like the fine lady selected to head the CIA would be interested in.
I would much prefer to own an interest in a device that could help stanch a tsunami of infectious disease that many predict is on its way in an uncertain future.
Thanks again.
Best, Terry
Spumoni,
So Terry what’s your plan?
Planning is for management.
I think the technology is needed and may become desperately needed. When and if I see it is hopeless, I will take my pennies and go away if I can even do that.
I think it is most likely my money is lost and you may be much the wiser of the two of us.

You might try reading and perhaps even thinking occasionally instead of only typing.
I spent my professional life in labs. I am long retired and glad to be free of much of the drudgery of trying over and over to succeed with the same old, same old that nitwits think Einstein denounced as insanity. He surely did the same. You might read of a very young Albert being fascinated with the differential that allowed cars to turn smoothly while few would dirty their hands and minds with such trivia beneath their ethereal thinking.
Where did you get the notion I condemned science and engineering worthless and would want to see all the monkeys freed from the labs?
I think Lebby is doing things right in direct contrast to THE ADMIRAL before him.
I expect those examining the results for inclusion in their own products will be delighted without an official stamp of approval by Good Housekeeping or other official body that wouldn't know a photon from an electron.
Thanks for reading.

This is a blurb from Vermillion on what it does and what your imaginary amateurs talked the FDA into accepting, It is incredibly easy to find such material:
Vermillion, Inc. is dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel high-value diagnostic and bio-analytical solutions that help physicians diagnose, treat and improve gynecologic health outcomes for women. Vermillion, along with its prestigious scientific collaborators, discovers, develops, and delivers innovative diagnostic and technology tools that help women with serious diseases. The company’s initial in vitro diagnostic test, OVA1®, was the first FDA-cleared, protein-based In Vitro Diagnostic Multivariate Index Assay, and represented a new class of software-based liquid biopsy in vitro diagnostics. In March 2016 Vermillion received FDA clearance for Overa™, a second generation OVA1 test with significantly improved specificity and ease of use.
Joe the [amateur] Plumber couldn't even get a call back from the FDA as an amateurtrying to get approval but neither could professional plumbers who think they know all about female plumbing,
What sort of professionals did your MZEI hire?
It's my MZEI now too but I was hoping for at least some lucid fellow investors.
Besd, Terry
I have no idea what that company's product was but it is irrelevant to MZEi's situation
In a pig's eye.
Vermillion was bankrupt and hopeless without FDA approval for a needed medical procedure. They had no way of pursing FDA approval without unlikjely volunterers and donations
MZEI is far better off with a management that has shown a willingness to pursue the technology that does not need FDA approval and even has a CE Mark in Europe that allows demonstration of the technology,
They have used a professional group to work on the application over the last year, yet haven't even figured how to apply because of the complexity of the FDA's rules. Not going to happen with some volunteers reading a rule book.
This crazed construction betrays a total lack of understanding of the FDA.
The FDA doesn't deal with uninformed volunteers when questioning submissions for approval.
One might wonder about the quality of MZEI's "professionals" that couldn't secure approval of badly needed technology with increasing nosocmial morbidity and deaths but the government isn't known to attract the very best with low wages and disrespect.

Warren Buffett is surprisingly an apostle of decreeing bum management is beside the point - surprising to me because you would think his tired cash cows would require excellent management for mere survival but I guess inertia is an overlooked vietue.

I have considerable sympathy for your view that price of LWLG stock is ridiculously low but I dispute this:

it was a huge waste of taxpayer money to throw cash at an outmoded process
And your evidence, spec?
Of course there is no need to answer. Critics are mostly absent at funerals but let me show you an illuminating and extremely annoying headline:

https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/recently-presented-preclinical-data-show-potential-for-adxsneo-as-anticancer-immunotherapy-agent-20180511-00295
Over 20 years ago the subject vaccine adjuvant got a complete response [disappearance of all cancer] from 2 women on their supposed deathbeds and a partial response from a 3rd out of 13 women who had lost all hope in a preliminary test of efficacy. And then the biotech died from predatory financing like a much earlier predecessor did after predatory financing led by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, of all people.
Generations later, Dr. Edgar Ribi's MPL vaccine adjuvant blazed into headlines co-powering a breakthrough malaria vaccine alongside another discard owned by AGEN, rootbeer flavor - nobody can make stuff like this up.
I do not believe your sneer, Spec, but I would consider evidence if you have any.
BFRE's process has gone through lengthy testing but I think it and the company are dead through atrocious mismanagement and evident greed not to mention monopolization of technology and very lackadaisical patent enforcement written ino the Constitution and never even amended.
Pity.

the ivory tower FDA bureaucrats accept takes years for approval. Bankrupt companies don't have personnel to work through that.
Vermillion did.
Volunteer help and donations for a telephone line to answer FDA questions did the trick.
The stock rose from a nickel a share to $17 in three hours and some hyperactive traders still managed to lose money during the three hours.
Longer term of 3-4 weeks [from sketchy memory] the stock rose from a penny to $28.

When outside of my element, I only try and take advice from "been there, done that" types.

The party became better known as the Know Nothings because members were advised to tell outsiders "I know nothing," when asked anything about the party.
I have been in a boardroom like few have ever witnessed. An annual meeting was delayed an hour for a beheading. The founder/CEO/COB/principal shareholder was allowed only to sit at the end of the furthest reaches of the room in a chair away from the table while I and my wife sat at the elbow of the prime usurper at the head of the table.
Need I tell anyone it all occurred in Chicago.
Far from the end of the story.
Skipping over all manner of drama and comedy, the company is now the most hated one in America for providing relief of excruciating pain to mostly dying patients with a finely calibrated mist that every politician from Donald Trump to Elizabeth Warren thinks should be banned for costing beneficiaries their immortal souls or something with opioids that are best sold by Big Pharma and then peddled on mean streets to junkies as pills, snorts or chews.
The new billionaire who had lost his company and wrested it back has now lost all control and is free only to pursue his philanthropic interests like fighting drug addiction while your government tries its level best to imprison the bastid.
The company is Insys and the philanthropist founder is John Kapoor, an immigrant from India.
Do tell us about your adventures in boardrooms, X, and skip the bars, please.

While I have deep respect for Dr West, One thing he seems to fail at is generating value to shareholders, always going for the next long term items without generating business successes or becoming self funding.
Perhaps you fellas will forgive my repugnance for what I consider the foolishness, even heresy, of the current shareholder value terminology.
Picture Oliver Wright telling brother Wilbur that the bicycle business had gone to hell while they were screwing around with a newfangled aeroplane they couldn't get off the ground, that they needed to get back to basics.
In real life back a ways I watched the moon landing on TV in my father's living room with an ancient couple who had flown with the Wright brothers at a county fair. Their house is now a museum featuring items from their travels as well as their own homespun desert environment.

I have been catching hell elsewhere for mourning the loss of photon computer tracking of incoming missiles on the eve of a technological leap forward in optical computer technology at Lightwavw Logic. A bungheaded ex-admiral let the builder and programmer of photonic computers currently deployed scanning the heavens onboard Air Force jets just hang out there somewhere while LWLG got down to business.
Hey I know R&D costs money, lots and lots of money, and nothing may ever come of any particular project but even very poor people are living much better in many ways from past achievements.
I like what BTX and Mike West are doing and still hope to make money like the rocket I dream of at LWLG despite the obscene detour and medicine invented at BTX that will do things like making the blind see maybe dwarfing most anything else.
Just foolish dreams?
- Yeah. Some. But lots has come true. You must have noticed.
I spent my professional life in R&D and undoubtedly have a skewed vision.

TH6565 et al,
I do not know the background how the project was put in shelf though.
To the best of my knowledge Turpin was never fired by THE ADMIRAL but let rot on the vine.
Seems THE ADMIRAL didn't think tracking hostile ICBM's from launch site to target was worth pursuing.
Turpin really surprised me because he spoke of analog programming of his photonic computers that not only utilized the extreme speed of photons but gave a superfast, accurate tracking of items of interest far beyond the capabilities of digital computers.
I could have asked much more had I known how much was already uncensored but I didn't want to put him in a bind with
questions he couldn't answer.
So who the heck needs to track nuclear-tipped missiles headed for D.C. when you're sitting on a mountain in Colorado?
Brilliant thinking, ADMIRAL.

Microchips,
Zelibor is the one that got us out of academic studies if the goo and headed the ship in the right direction toward business opportunities (pun intended).
I have to say I love your inventiveness but THE ADMIRAL got us into all the wrong places.
I have some experience in the matter of academic studies.
One professor with a very rare specialty at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute helped convict O.J. of the civil tort of poking holes in two people despite being found not guilty of their murders.
The prof surprised me by describing how a photo of O.J.'s rare shoes in a sporting magazine might have been a fake [dubious even in his rendering] but the date of publication long before the O.J. torts made the technology a bit beside the point.
Various imaging devices and technology were very important to us and to Terry Turpin's photonic computers and thus our consultation with Rensellaire and other universities.
Could you be so kind as to explain why you think it was best for THE ADMIRAL to knife Turpin and his photonic computers, so to speak, and name any contributions from all of Zelibor's studies that did a damn thing for the LWLG polymers?
Best, Terry
Do you have a recording of that ASM Q&A (what year, 2013 or so maybe?) or is this from your shatter-proof memory?
My "shatter-proof" senile memory got another significant test on the way to the meeting after my wife had days before knocked me cold pushing me out of bed [she claimed she was downstairs and I fell out of bed when a volunteer fireman was rudely interrupting my peaceful unconsciousness]. And then on the way home the transmission blew...
Be surprised how much I remember but I notice you are making light of an outrageous lie you yourself remembered for some reason or other.
Personally I think that Z has delivered in a big way for LWLG, and I don't think he is at all any sort of liar
So you think THE ADMIRAL is an honest, ignorant cretin and I am an evil, lying short?
Maybe you could fill in the gaps better for all to enjoy.
Could you tell us all how much you enjoyed the computing guru being rubbed out by THE ADMIRAL?
I think it was an atrocity.

RXi Pharmaceuticals Enters into Material Transfer Agreement with Iovance Biotherapeutics to Study its Self-Delivering RNAi Technology for the Advancement of Immuno-Oncology Therapeutics with Iovance's Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) for Solid Tumors
You can buy stock in RXi [RXII] should you wish but you already own an interest in this Nobel prize-winning technology if you own shares of OPK.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rxi-pharmaceuticals-enters-material-transfer-110500490.html
This is another of numerous slighted Frost investments.
It has special appeal to me because of this mention in the sub-headline:
Synergies between RXi's self-delivering RNAi (sd-rxRNA®) therapeutic platform and Iovance's TIL cell therapy approach will be explored preclinically
The decades-long struggle with antisense has been a blackhole for untold billions of dollars for over half a century with the main problem revolving around delivery underlined above.
This is only one solution that appears on the way to bearing fruit but what a pedigree it has with one of the antisense Nobel laureates having devised that delivery.
Enjoy.
Best, Terry
Gates,
I beg to differ with your opinion about Zelibor. IMO He is not a liar. Why would you call him a proven liar?
I told you exactly why.
Can anybody here believe his patent lie that he wanted so badly to buy stock in LWLG but couldn't see any way to do it legally? Do you, Gates?
I have heard that question asked of many CEO's and not one lied so so obviously falsely.
In one very memorable case a CEO asked all the management and directors present to tell the shareholders why they were selling shares in the company [on its last legs]. One told of his impending divorce and even got a round of applause from the embittered audience.
By itself, Zelibor's lie is a minor matter but as a pattern it tells a different story.
Please try to get the red out even if you see matters differently. I have nothing to hide.
Best, Terry
D the G,
Fully agree on all points.
I don't fully understand why Frost waited so long to deal with the problems evident at BRL when it was purchased but that seems to be part of his management style, stepping in at crucial points with a carefully thought out fix of problem areas or even abandonment of technology when management is proven incapable.
ELOX is a shining lesson on the style. OPK's slice is built on two quite separate failures for very different reasons. It is possible, perhaps, one or both could be brought back to life in the future, particularly the gene splicer killed by vampire hunters, but the chances are remote IMHO.
Best, Terry
Gates,
Lebby, Leonberger and Marcelli are not proven liars and are not remotely in any class with THE ADMIRAL in my book.
That the price of LWLG collapsed under THE ADMIRAL is not just coincidental though it coincided with the atrocious waste of money.
Academia remains the premier organization doing basic research but it must be handled very carefully as it has a very different agenda from business. Knowledge is sought for its own sake in academia but that is a way for businesses to go broke.
I have no quarrel with you and respect your opinion.
Best, Terry
A man on your "plateau"
You have it all wrong. I was never more than a soldier and the worst of the lot, as even John McCain could tell you, a Vietnam veteran.
While you are looking up to THE ADMIRAL, perhaps you could take a crack at explaining why he was the only CEO in America who never figured out how he could buy stock in his company without breaking the law.
I think he was lying. Why don't you?
As far as I know Michael Lebby and Fred Leonberger haven't put a dime of their own money in LWLG stock but everybody with a brain in their head is glad such people are running the company and have no need to lie and look down on people.
You are free to report me to Lebby.
What's wrong with science BTW?
Best, Terry
Protohype,
I believe once the 50Gbs gets in the hands of customers/partners Dr Lebby will be getting many offers to choose from, so perhaps this is why LWLG chose to wait it out for the past year
That at least has the semblance of acceptable rational argument as compared to the bellicose condemnations that serve no one beyond fight fans and enemies of LWLG.
Welcome to a higher plateau.
Best, Terry
The longs here are hoping so. ??
Game,
Rather than a turnaround, this long is anticipating further progress beyond the exceptional case of the reference lab which Frost bought in a rummage sale and may have waited far too long to clean up.
The farcical fake quote of Thomas Edison saying he had succeeded in proving numerous failures didn't work at least points out the process of R&D is full of potholes and detours.
I am personally glad Frost took on the vile urological propagandists pushing the PSA test as a screen for prostate cancer despite the inventor himself condemning such usage but will concede it may never prove to have been a brilliant financial buy. 4Kscore is not the only such test for aggressive prostate cancer.
A medical doctor/mathematics Ph.D with another test was wont to often repeat a semi-jingle regarding prostate cancer:
At 80, 80% of men have prostate caancer,
At 90, 100% of men have prostate cancer.
It's reasonable to expect at 90 or 100 or 110..., some exceptional individuals may escape the cancer but his point was that extremely slow-growing or completely indolent cancers are far less a threat than prostate biopsies themselves.
I have no quarrel with differing opinions on that. The mathematician/medical doctor and his biotech were destroyed by the urologists.
Best, Terry
I can assure you I have the greatest respect for Tom.
Adoration of Tomfoolery and respect are vastly different concepts.
No one I have ever read has even seriously tried to question Michael Lebby's leadership despite your angry insults but the dishonest, incompetent, ignorant ex-admiral is an entirely different story.

LWLG is in a much stronger position than when they were like an octopus, looking for projects in 3rd order Modulation, Parallel Processing, Solar, Bioequipment, Satellite defense, other military and datcom applications.
Is it also far better we abandoned working photonic computers patrolling the skies even now for all we know?
No argument here, my friend, that all the tomfoolery with the various scatterbrained projects that included the move to Colorado for the convenience of THE ADMIRAL, who presumably is still trying to figure out how he can legally buy stock in LWLG.
But discarding deployed photonic computers along with their builder appears to me a monumental blunder.
Has anybody ever asked His Royal Colorado Highness why that happened?
Admittedly there could be a good reason hidden behind high security walls that X thinks only monkeys can scale but it would be nice to hear mention anywhere.
JMO.

What I'm interested in and why I'm still invested in LWLG is post-Admiral..
Fine. Then what's the problem?
You think the science is incomprehensible and can't understand it?
Fine. Nobody can. That changes nothing.
If you think only hateful, horrid people are plumb against vulture financing or agree thoughtful, lower cost financing is good.
Fine. I don't care.
Could LWLG fail yet?
- Sure. Nobody knows the future for certain as the mythical cyclops were supposed to be cursed with. Why argue about it?
Argue with somebody else if you wish. We have no argument that I know of.
Best, Terry
