the idea of harvey continuously informing investors that they were building ariad as a stand alone company, did have appeal for a potentially greater reward for shareholders.
the crash changed everything for those dreams and rewards. but with the crash wiping out a stand alone, that did not mean that ariads pipeline nor committed investors should suffer as much. there was (is?) a way for some redemption and forward progress. logic of such a fail, would have been salvaged in a buyout. continuing its pursuit for life saving drugs and still rewarding the loyal investors.
the idea to continually promote a demoralized and struggling company (since the 13 crash) as essentially a future standalone, is simply not acceptable. any laid out plan since the crash, that does not involve a buyout, has shown corruption and disrespect to all loyal investors and patients alike. there is no other reason at this point, for the company to continue on with their stand alone struggles, other than having someone like harvey as your undisputedly selfish and ego driven ceo .
