Having worked at Enron actually adds to Ms. Power's credibility here.

She knows all too well that every Ponzi scheme must come to an end, and saw the consequences for people she knew, or at least thought she knew when the police came knocking on their door.

Granted all Ponzi schemers have to know on some level that a day of reckoning will come.

I suppose these crooks just try not to think about it and instead simply enjoy their ill-gotten gains to the fullest extent for as long as they can before they have to go on the run or go to jail.

But I don't think Ms. Powers is a Ponzi schemer.

Ms. Powers does not look or act like a flashy figure who is reveling in the spoils of fraud while she can, as you see with the criminals featured on American Greed.

She simply does not fit the profile.

So I surmise that as irregular as her financial relationship with Cognate is, I think it is based on her honest belief that DCVax will work.

Like it or not, in some cases the ends justify the means.

Ms. Powers of all people knows that if she is wrong about DCVax and NWBO collapses, she will go down with the ship.
