There have been Dr. Frost groupies around for years and many of the stocks have seemed questionable. Nevertheless, Dr. Frost appears to have been quite successful over the years and is listed by Forbes as having $3.4 billion.
I had no idea he was so close with Barry Honig, who seems to me to be unscrupulous but careful to stay within the law.
"Phillip Frost, chairman and CEO of pharmaceutical and diagnostics company Opko Health, is a pharma industry veteran with stakes in more than a half dozen firms. Last year several of those companies merged together, including Opko, which acquired Prolor Biotech. A former dermatology professor, he got his start in pharma in the early 1970s when he took over Key Pharmaceuticals with billionaire partner Michael Jaharis to develop generics and veterinary products. They sold the company to Schering-Plough in 1986. Frost then founded generic drugmaker Ivax and sold it to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries for $7.6 billion in 2005. He is still chairman of Ivax."
