Interesting, Ayer Capital Management remains open but looks to be just closed to the "general public" according to their new website:

...North40000, as for your question in "where am I heading with this series of links.." ==> all I can say is I have not dozens, but hundreds upon hundreds of puzzle pieces and some pieces just don't fit just yet. This does not infer that there is anything wrong with everyone at Ayer Capital or everyone at Roswell Capital and certainly like there was not anything wrong with everyone at Peregrine Pharmaceuticals but we have CSM now with 2 lawsuits that were sealed up tight and closed to the public, 1 including the sabotage at Peregrine and there must have been a long line of reasons that led up to it all and I think we can all agree it did not start in Fargo ND

I, of course leave some puzzle pieces out of my posts because one has to be certain before making bold claims, so for now... I ask questions and wonder, which is #1 thing any longterm investor would do and us hitting rock $1 bottom again only makes me dig much deeper

We know the FDA does not want public attention on this and other Federal Authorities stepped into control that flow of information so when that happens..... its something much bigger that went on and some can't buy the world to stop that flow of information
