NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

[Its_lose_not_loose]

The SA Pump Terminator article is as relevant today as it was in 2014. I never read the comments before but in retrospect, they are quite funny. The defense of Seymour, Diwan, NNVC & Menon reach a fever pitch as the commentators attempt to belittle the validity and prescient accuracy of the PT article and those who would dare speak against NNVC and its principals.

No, it's not impossible:

Any new readers just move on down the comments and almost every charge is disputed and totally destroyed. It was just a bear raid huge short position built prior to attack article and covered 2 days after publication! That says it all they slammed took the money and ran. The negative comments are part of the raid, don't be fooled by the alarmists it's their game and its obvious.

Anyone who just read this defamatory article should immediately read the April 16 news release on NNVC it is an international award honoring and recognizing the management and original scientist as the most important nano scientist in THE WORLD plus it up dates on FDA trial requirements etc it put this slam piece right in the garbage where it was born and should have stayed.

sleuth,
I agree! Who are you going to believe - an anonymous Internet blogger who refers to himself as Pump Terminator or professionals who recognize the trailblazing strides this company is making? NNVC is on the verge of providing to the World the next "penicillin-like" class of drugs. BTW, we will probably not hear again from the manipulator known as Pump Terminator as SA is being sued to reveal his/her identity, and evidence of a new and large short position which was opened just before publishing this article is not helping their defense.

There might be some big pharma behind the attacks on NNVC. I have been observing this stock for a while. They secured their independent ownership through a few layers of security to avoid a hostile takeover. The competition is so alarmed and nervous about NNVC's novel solutions of killing viruses that they decided to deploy ugly play against its management. The fight is just starting. They will do anything in their power to derail potential success of NNVC. They will initiate more bad press coverage (the recent New Yorker Observer's article is a joke and Duff McDonald just copies PT). But PT started barking again with the assistance of Rawnoc from Investor'sHub. They all put absolutely no merits and science behind their attacks, just pure speculation. I am surprised of the judge's verdict protecting identity of the scammer. If you are a legitimate player here do not be afraid to identify yourself. I do not believe at all of your pure intentions to protect investors from NNVC's fraud. Your tone and language are so vicious, PT, that one day you will just suffocate by your own bitterness and misery.

I just checked your link bashing CTIX. Dyman Associates is an investment company & no where on its website does it mention CTIX, let alone any other individual stocks. There is no talk on Dyman on Yahoo Message Boards or SA. Their drugs may not prove to work, but there is absolutely no evidence that they are run like NNVC. This morning's price action proves that.

That link was garbage, & if that's "evidence", then its as weak as it gets. Again, I went to the Dyman website & there was no evidence they were "pumping" CTIX. If anyone has gotten a "pumping" call from Dyman, I would like to know about it. That Finnsih website had a 1 line blip, presenting or stating no evidence. As far as the company is concerned, I'll wait & see how the drugs test out. If CTIX had been "pumped" by an outside entity, it would have been posted all over the Yahoo message board months ago.

No; Not nice work; CTIX is not the same as NNVC...& Just so everyone can see it, here the exact "quote" from the Swedish version of the SEC (which I hope they are better than)....
Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) has today published this statement in order to warn investors against dealing with unauthorised firms.
Dyman Associates has not received authorisation from Finansinspektionen and therefore is not entitled to provide financial services in Sweden. Finansinspektionen has not received any notification of cross-border activities from other EEA countries.
Representatives from Dyman Associates contact Swedish investors through unsolicited telephone calls and offer them to buy holdings of shares in a American OTC companies such as Cellceutix.

Msecondly don't you think Pfizer etc is going to reap most of the benefits from BIND and thus Ney have sold the future for upfront money which NNVC would rather gamble on tinier tech. Got to go

This article makes a number of important points about NNVC, but it goes well over the top when it talks of Mr. Erhlich and Dr. Menon. These two are doing outstanding work, rapidly advancing multiple drugs through clinical trials at CTIX. There is a world of difference between the two companies.

A skeptic might think that one way to get cheap shares in a stock they know is going to be worth $100 a share someday is to pay someone $1000 to run a "hedge fund" managing that money, go short the stock AND THEN write a article trashing the stock.
How do we determine who is right?
To the author, why not use your real name and tell us what country you live in?
Also, how large is your hedge fund and how large is your "short" position in NNVC?
I would not be surprised if I've personally made more money taking advantage of these bear raids to trash stocks down than is in the hedge fund... but I've also had some stocks go under so there is always the risk the author is right.

As info I am long, I am also apparently a magnet for this kind of trashing, or at least stock I buy are excellent targets for this kind of bashing. This makes stock and company number three, in a month, bummer! I am long RMTI. A company just ended phase 3 with a drug that is now at the FDA's door for an NDA for dialysis patients. Relaces iron much more efficently during dialysis saving mucho money for the payers! Stock was 15 trasher brought it to $10 ish claimed no good results but the chronic kidney meeting just last week or two gave them best in show award for new drug! still waiting and holding on. Second PRAN a possible and currently best shot at,Alzheimer disease cure or at least treatment, attacked a few days ago as not efficacy positive , but the trial was for TOXICITY. Which I'm betting hugely likely to approve as all indications are positive, ala 5 FDA. Safety committee meetings during test and no recommendation to change any protocols and 95% of cohort including placebos elected to go and completed a 12 month extension! Writer claimed data not good enough but the data has not been publicly disclosed, due by end this Q. And now this one, this is a concentrated attack as you can see in he comments to undermine the co. They are either great hoodwinkers d fooling various governments to get in bed with them while only interested in raping and pillaging and yeah building facilities and raising millions to steal. Fooling the FDA. Into orphan drug status, not so easy I'm sure! And yes we are all taking care of ourselves. If they have what they are attempting it is all going to be valued in the billions. I've been involved in several public start ups, you always would rather deal with friends as vendors and outside servers better than cold cash big outsiders. I think it evolves. Anyone else have 2 cents to put into the mix? Welcome to the fight..

I don't know much about NNVC and how their website is updated, but, Dr Menon is no longer affiliated with them and has never been the one to update the information on the site. He can't be blamed for any errors. The affiliation ended due to too many obligations with CTIX. Go to the CTIX website for accurate background on Dr Menon. http://bit.ly/10rKRJE
Following is a short quote: "Dr. Menon is a trained veterinary surgeon and holds a PhD in Pharmacology from Kerala University. His PhD work focused on anti-folate therapy of various cancers."

Karin / Sharon / whoever, how is it you are the world's greatest defender of CTIX and appear to be so very knowledgeable about their inner workings! You've done one-on-one interviews with the CEO (Leo Ehrlich) and posted them under a pseudonym. CTIX is such a transparent company that they are willing to one-on-one interviews between anonymous bloggers and the CEO! When you called up to ask for the interview, did you say "hey Leo, this is KarenCA/Sharon/ActionJ... and I really want to do an exclusive interview with you? I know you're not Equity Options Guru because it turned out he's a scammer named Tom Meyer who posted under various names on Seeking Alpha and then wrote for Forbes referencing his own articles on SA to support his Forbes opinion.

I'm more of an investor type these days and started doing a tremendous amount of research on the companies I invest in. I read SEC filings, news, blogs, whatever is available. The interesting thing is why I started writing in the first place. I don't know if you recall, but, SA removed three articles on CTIX that were discovered to be written by the same person. Before they removed them I was disgusted that three different people could put out so much misinformation about a company. None of them even mentioned the ongoing trial at Dana Farber. So, I decided to write something to clarify what the company was doing at that point in time. Someone liked my article and sent it to the CEO.
He knows my full name. I'm not anonymous to him. And, because of having done two interviews I decided to call him after seeing this article to see if there is any relationship at this point in time. He said there is none. I believe him.
I've actually had other opportunities to interview CEO's since I routinely invest in biotech and these CEO's are much more accessible than those of long established companies. Personal things have kept me from it the past few months but my intention is to start writing again in the near future. And, I may start doing those interviews with others. Time will tell.
Think what you like. I certainly understand how one can become jaded in this arena. Good luck in all your trades and life in general.

I am actually curious about this issue: when the author mentions BIND as a great contra example.
I looked up BIND and they switched names and went public less than a year ago. They are already in ph2 for one of their drugs.
I'd be curious to see what their situation was, when they were preclinical. How much the founders of that company burned through of "the public's" money and how much they extracted?

I took a look at NNVC a week ago. Their approach to fight various diseases is novel and seems to have merit. Before investing I like to see a technology moat or at east enough of a lead that it would be hard catch up. A cursory search of the US patent archives yielded very little under the search terms of the company or " Anil Diwan". The two patents I found were quite specific and, in my opinion, easy to circumvent. Also, the business structure among NVCC, Theracour and Diwan seems peculiar, easily manipulated, and "incestuous". So I stayed away.

Just reread the co announcement that they raised $20 million ( now holding approx $40 million) and that capital will fund phase 1 & 2 on humans for injectable flucide and also the dengue fever trials. Plus they must have fooled not only the US FDA but also the Europeans as they have orphan drug designation from the European Medical Agency (EMA). This was press released on Jan 21 '14. They claimed they received the funds from "institutions and current stockholders". So are they just recycling the money they loot to put it back in to loot again? Doesn't make much sense to me does it to you pumper dumper! The EMA is the European Agency to "evaluate medicinal products" according to their web site. Its also the agency " responsible for the protection of public and animal health through the scientific evaluation and supervision of medicines". Pretty strong to bother to bluff your way through he FDA. And those guys! You are a manipulating short seller with the morals of?

Robert0713... There must be scientific rationale to get a drug approved under Orphan Drug regulations. It’s much more involved than simply looking at the patient population. Safety and effectiveness of a drug must be established first.

Thank you for this information it certainly adds credibility to NNVC at a time of stress and misinformation seemingly driven by a band of shorts trying to panic believers and stockholders. So Robert 0713 do you agree with Karin or is your post just bunk to scare folks. Or are you just quoting birds of a feather Raven

-- Orphan drug designation means that the sponsor qualifies for certain benefits, such as reduced taxes, from the federal government. It does not mean the drug is safe and effective and legal to manufacture and market in the United States.

Robert-
You are correct in that Orphan designation does not mean the drug has passed all necessary safety and efficacy thresholds to market. However, there are some thresholds and research data that needs to be submitted and approved by the FDA to receive Orphan status. You make it seem like it's as simple as, "Hey, we've got an idea for a small population drug treatment, can we have Orphan status please?" There is much more to it than that.
While I think there are some interesting points raised in the article about the corporate structure, if the owner's true intent was to defraud investors and enrich himself via shell companies, the time and money required to deal with FDA filings (and European counterparts) would seem counterintuitive to that sole purpose.

It's actually quite common practice for owners of a company to make sure they keep control of it. These special shares aren't that uncommon and prevents someone else from taking over your company and running it into the ground.

Interesting that nobody has posted this yet...
NanoViricides, Inc. Responds to Baseless Seeking Alpha Article
February 11, 2014
Dr. Seymour, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of NanoViricides, stated, “We are outraged at this unfounded and intentional attempt at deflating the Company’s stock price. We will have a more detailed response, in the near future, once we determine our options, including all legal action to determine the identity of the author, but we want to assure our shareholders and the market that the Company’s purpose is the same as always - to eradicate life-threatening viruses and increase shareholder value.”
Dr. Diwan, founder, President and Chairman of the Board commented, “This is a shameless attack from someone who neither understands the science nor the development work that has gone into nanoviricides® drug candidates. With very little money we have built a rich pipeline of drug candidates that are now getting closer to the clinic. I have personally taken high risks in making certain that the Company can continue to advance by undertaking the building of a highly specialized cGMP manufacturing facility at a time when NanoViricides did not have sufficient funds to be able to commit to this critical venture. All of the biological testing of our drug candidates is conducted by third parties. We are very happy to note that our drug candidates have been found to be safe and highly effective, and therefore worthy of clinical development.”

I have learned two things from the documents, all of which I have read. First, there is a lot that needs to be cleaned up at this company. It is a mess. Second, the company's products have block buster potential as admitted by the plaintiff. Let's hope this article helps fix things and the company cleans up its act so it can properly pursue its potential.

Would agree with your comments but the article seems to conflict with the key premise of the article that it is a house of cards.
Instead the author of the article appears to either be directly involved in the derivative and demand for document lawsuits or more likely simply being used by that person. I would be o.k. with that if it weren't for the fact that the complaints appear to from a banker who is bothered by the fact that he missed out on the fees associated with earlier stock issuances.

you state:
"If the Theracour relationship were terminated or changed for the worse, there would literally be zero technology or IP left with NNVC."

What a joke you are, they have a published agreement in place giving NNVC exclusive rights in perpetuity to a long list of viral applications.
By the way, can you really not even spell correctly the name of the individual that keeps filing the bogus lawsuit? His name is not "Brammel". But then attention to detail is obviously not your strong suit.

Did a patent search for the president Anil Diwan. He's named on a few patents which i can't be bothered reading into if they're worth anything but they're all registered to a different company (Allexcel) which has the exact same business address as Nanoviricides. What's hilarious is that Allexcel is registered as a software company (http://bit.ly/1m6uaza). Looks like one massive circlejerk of a company. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...its probably pump and dump scheme using multiple linked companies with the same registered owners

I think it is unfair and misleading to cherry pick Rajesh Pandey's vita like that to cite a paper where he is listed as fourth author on a review in an obscure journal, and ignore, for instance, "Reactivity of (2-alkenyl-3-pentene-1... complexes: preparation of functionalized vinylcyclopropanes and cycloheptadienes" in J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73(18), 7236-7245, where he is first author (http://bit.ly/1nzFf7k). Actually, after reading the article you cite, and looking at the list of the rest of his publications, I am suspicious that his name and affiliation may be attached to the WJPPS article in error. BTW, how did you find that article, I could not using Google and Google Scholar.

I bought this NNVC on advice from a pretty well known newsletter company. Shame on me for not reading the 10K... I DID read it last night and was horrified. The major and multiple conflicts of interest and opportunities for self-dealing for the exec team are worthy of the worst 'New Jersey/Chicago style politicians.' Even if they aren't taking undue advantage, the sheer fact that they have __structured___ their company this way, is appallingly bad mgt practice re the actual conflict of interest and the potential for egregious self-dealing, and enough reason to avoid this team like the plague (pun intended), regardless of whether or not, or how much $$$ execs have 'unfairly taken' to date.) The incestuous STRUCTURE is enough for me to say no, i want out, even if their products and services have technical merit.
That said, I bought low enough I realized a rather hefty 61% profit on NNVC this morning -- before it crashes far lower on some new revelation of exec hanky panky. A BIG THANKS to the author and Seeking Alpha for the 'red flags raising' that got me out with profit before a disaster.
(BTW - This same tech newsletter is infamous imo, for missing similar red flags due to negligence due diligence wise, eg the 'over reliance on a single large (crooked) Chinese customer' fiasco that was American Superconductor, that lost me 96% of my investment overnight. This obvious red flag was not mentioned even once in their buy recco, or many updates).

NYSE investigating shorts and so is FINRA These naked attempts to drive a stock down are only effective for an initial burst because people don't do enuf of their own DD. The hurdles this small company has already overcome are impressive. Imagine 3 different governments approving of the science and work being done by eminent scientists on moving this approach forward AND $40 million in the bank to carry on. AND deadly diseases injected into animals that are then treated with NNVC drug candidates and they do not die. We have a winner here, a BIG. Winner in he making!

Hi smallcap sleuth. Quattro here. I am not a 'bear attacker'. I was/am not short NNVC ever, I was not a holder of Puts ever. Until the 2/12 article I was long since a single purchase on May 28th 2013. This NNVC long position was in a small spec-only account of my own money. I have been paying far more attention to other accounts, including my fam clients who i have in much safer, often dividend paying positions. When I read up on NNVC back in spring 2013 I didn't spot the structural issues, and liked the virus related story and upside, for something the world really needs. Pandemic anyone? After that I didn't pay much attention to the position, and I had liquidated any other of the negligent Patrick Cox's newsletter reccos long ago. I thought maybe it was a rare Cox recco that had real upside.
Assuming I'm a bear attacker is both _wrong on the facts and _distracts from alerting other long investors that the CORPORATE STRUCTURE of NNVC created by the exec team is SUFFICIENT REASON to ditch this flakey mgt and stock, imho. Don't fall in love with the bio story, look at the structure, it's just so wrong.
I don't care if they have world-beating technology, or perfect/cloudy IP rights... There are too many other fish in the sea with solid technology and STRUCTURES that aren't _vulnerable to exec self-dealing. Like I said, I don't care about whether the exec actually have/are or NOT doing self-dealing, or are or NOT screwing shareholders... it's the shabby way they've structured it and the risk they _can self-deal, so easily, that justifies an exit. Find a better, clear fudiciary, cleaner structured biotech team is my point.

A few weeks ago I emailed NNVC to see if they were having any upcoming trials for chikungunya because a good friend of mine was suffering from the long term effects of this virus. Lo and behold, much to my surprise I received a phone call from Dr Seymour. He was very polite and seemed interested in my friend's condition and offered some recommendations. In over 15 yrs of investing, I've never received the time of day from any executives of any publicly traded company. And get this, I have never bought any shares of NNVC before or after I spoke with Dr Seymour. All I can say, that from my experience Dr Seymour is a stand up guy. There seems to be a lot of complaints about this company not producing any products or revenues for many years. Welcome to the world of biotech. Also, after reading many of the above comments that accuse the reporter (who publishes a damaging article but refuses to use his real name) of writing inaccurate information, well, it seems to me that this critique of this company is not worth the paper it is written on!

Yes clearly they have top level science tech and world class collaborators. Top line scientists don't bother with less than top line solutions to the quests they are on. The renewal says everything you need to know about the drug candidates credibility! There can be NO doubt about the legitimacy of the company and in sifting thru the rebuttals to the piece there is thin if any facts that remain for these fearmongers to stand on to attack the stock..
If the science continues to work as it has so brilliantly on animals (curing deadly doses of deadly diseases) when being exposed to human trials this stock is going to be worth hundreds of dollars a share.
Two more points are that the company's drugs do not enter into the bodies cells so the likely negative side effects are significantly minimized. And secondly the human trials will be shorter than most FDA trials because if you are scheduled to die due to some nasty virus and you don't its rather readily recognized that it worked. Yes if a body is cleared of a disease causing virus it's sort of black or white. I am anxiously awaiting trials. Bring it on Dr Seymour! Lets get the cGMP facility up and approved so we can get into testing and I believe that facility is due in a month or 2.
Lastly the company claims that the master method behind the functioning for each disease can in weeks be adapted to any virus as it is sort of like fooling the virus to think it found its cell target while it really is meeting a deadly mate.

You are right on in your analysts. The product is unique because it does not interact with cellular mechanisms, the immune system or other complex chemical pathways in the body. What happens in vitro and in animals should be exactly what happens in humans. We just need to know it is safely cleared fro the body.

I also like SA but it is a vehicle, and an effective one for misinformation used by bear raiders! I've had the misfortune of having had 3 companies and stock positions attacked by what I would term flimsy sleazy articles that served to trounce share values in the last month or two. PRAN still being wounded unfairly I think and RMTI a bit back as not having good phase 3 data, even tho both of these companies haven even RELEASED. The data ! RMTI just now recovering as the info is out ( not the FDA data but overview as they finished the phase 3) it is now rallying. So take the hit and wait for the recover. I'm glad NNVC is fighting back, the other 2 just foolishly took punches to the face and gut and didn't respond.

I don't understand why it is a problem when you are long on a stock that the price goes down. Isn't that just a wonderful chance to buy more? "Whether it's socks or stocks, I like to buy when things are marked down." WEB .
Personally I wouldn't invest in Nanovoricides because they don't even have an answering machine with their name on it. Has anyone here actually visited their laboratories? Etc. It is also outside my circle of competence and the people who know their stuff ( high ranking CAPS players at Fool.com ) , don't like it.

Now I wonder how Dr. Diwan can conjure up multiple unrelated ligands at the drop of a hat, while other companies involve dozens of medicinal chemists with supercomputers to do the same thing for just one. A year or two ago, I called Dr. Seymour to complain about how thinly spread out the company's efforts seemed to be (flu, HIV, rabies, ebola, etc.) without a focus on one entity to drive the company's fortunes in human clinical therapeutics. He was the chummiest of all individuals with whom I have ever had the pleasure of talking, and said that he also graduated from Columbia's medical school a few years ahead of me. Today I became suspicious and called the alumni office, to find that there are no records of a Eugene Seymour having ever graduated from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. Further, I cannot find a curriculum vitae for Dr. Seymour anywhere on the NNVC website. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been conned twice before, and I am terribly afraid that NNVC is the third time.

Nice try.

Eugene Seymour, MD, MPH's Overview
Current Chief Executive Officer at Nanoviricides.com
Education Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
Baylor College of Medicine
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA

Second, the patents are very encompassing and won't be able to be circumvented --

Third, if you understood the science here you would know how Diwan recently whipped up a new solution for the MERS virus in a couple of weeks which will soon be tested by the English govt at Public Health England, also at Viroclinics (of Erasmus fame and a world renowned organization), as well as at LRRI. I suggest a little research before you post a bunch of factless conjecture.

@Old Turk.
Thank you for posting that. It is a great example of REAL due dililgence. I just called Columbia to confirm, you are 100% correct. This makes two NNVC execs who have lied about their education.
Krishna Menon was the first. He did not go to Harvard.
Eugene is now the second.
Birds of a feather....

Please post the number you called so we can all verify independently. (Prediction - you won't do it because you are full of crap). Teri Buhl? You must be joking. She also said Dr. Seymour was a veterinarian. Direct evidence of the quality of her work... journalistic GARBAGE. Maybe she meant vegetarian LOL! She likes to refer to a lawsuit that has been dismissed 4 times now....thrown out in 4 different jurisdictions as being without merit. Plaintiff's attorney even asked to withdraw on the last attempt. Why I wonder? Obviously it's a bogus case you can file in the frivolous category. Maybe he will file it a 5th time.....
This is too funny. I am smelling desperation among the shorts as they have been unsuccessful in keeping the stock down and obviously have not yet covered. They are pounding the blatant paid stock manipulation site IHUB as hard as they can, to no avail.

Telephone number for Alumni Office of Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons is 212-305-1472. FYI, I am neither long nor short NNVC. BTW, a true curriculum vitae states exact time periods for training, position held, and institution & degree awarded; "Baylor College of Medicine" and "David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA" don't do much for me.

He is an alumni of the Baylor College of Medicine, class of '65 [phone]. You don't get alumni records on someone who attends a particular school but does not get a degree there. Teri Buhl is a very poor source of information. In fact, I would call her a fraud, as few of her "facts" ever check out the way she presents them.

STJ, I did call Baylor, and you are correct: Dr. Seymour was indeed awarded an M.D. degree in 1965. And Baylor is a first rate place. Nonetheless, I have to wish you the best with this group of individuals, as I suspect that a management that doesn't hold annual meetings, that holds a majority of the voting shares and that controls the flow of funds to other closely held entities (per Pump Terminator) won't have the welfare of other NNVC stockholders at the top of its priority list. I await publication of NNVC's FluCide results in humans in a peer-reviewed journal. If the results are as predicted by Drs. Diwan and Seymour, this technique will represent a major step forward in medical care. If the preclinical results have been fudged by the good Dr. Menon (remember the painted mice at Memorial Sloan Kettering?), it will only mean that NNVC wasn't the place to be. I still admire the novel concept of letting viruses self-destruct on nanospheres laced with appropriate ligands.
The generic concept of nanospheres sporting ligands is not broadly patentable; there are many such products already in production for other purposes. A very specific ligand can find a patent, but these products are of such high molecular weight that an easily engineered small change could seek its own patent.
If I were the FDA, I would insist on duplicate animal studies done in a truly independent laboratory prior to allowing human trials. And I would insist on a squeaky clean inspection of the cGMP facility that would manufacture the therapeutic product.
I tip my hat to Drs. Seymour, Diwan and Menon for bringing such excitement to the field of medicine. I just wish that they didn't look like such a den of thieves.

1. They have held annual meetings for the last 2 yrs.
2. Diwan's interests are very much aligned with those of NNVC shareholders. TheraCour's IP is not worth much without a clear path to commericalization. NNVC is that clear path. If something happened to that realtionship Diwan would lose valuable time to market and without the financial rescources of NNVC he would have to start over with fund raising. Who would trust him at that point if he had just pulled the rug somehow on NNVC? The issue raised there just does not survive a common sense analysis. And now it looks like NNVC may well purchase the new manufacturing plant which, if it happens, would further distance Diwan from market success in the event of problems with that realtionship (a relationship which by the way is spelled out very clearly by agreement, and which only allows termination for material breach with 90 days to remedy).
3. Data fudged by Menon?? How about the results from USAMRIID (Ebola), Dr. Gus Kousoulas at LSU (HSV), Dr. Eva Harris at Berkeley(Dengue).... were those all fudged too? Not to mention they are currently lined up for testing with 3 world class organizations - Viroclinics, Public Health England and LRRI.
4. They were issued very broad application of their key patent as can be seen here -
"The US Patent has been allowed with a very broad range of claims to a large number of families of chemical structure compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, methods of making the same, and uses of the same. The disclosed structures enable self-assembling, biomimetic nanomedicines. NanoViricides, Inc. holds exclusive, perpetual, worldwide licenses to these technologies for a broad range of antiviral applications and diseases."
"It is rewarding to see that the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recognized the novelty and the broad utility of the entire ‘pi-polymer’ class of materials as defined by the inventors, and granted a patent with sufficient scope to protect the whole of the invention, for all foreseeable pharmaceutical applications, including the nanoviricides® anti-viral substances,” said Dr. James Demers, PhD, JD, now with Gotham Patent Services LLC, who represents the inventors before the USPTO and directs the international patenting effort. He further added, “The application was drafted so as to describe and claim Dr. Diwan's invention, on which the nanoviricides® technology is based, as broadly as possible, and we anticipate that other countries around the world will also grant claims similar to those allowed by the USPTO.”

Old Turk,

No problem, sometimes it is hard to discern the thoughtful posters such as yourself from the bashers with an agenda that are great at misleading and distorting such as Teri Buhl and the author of this Seeking Alpha article (if indeed they are separate entities).

Let me add #5 to the above -

5. If it is such a "den of thieves" why would a Director (Dr. Boniuk) invest $7M in the company? By the way, Dr. Boniuk first learned of the company through his sister, Dr. Vivien Boniuk (another independent tester), who performed animal studies on the Company’s drug candidates for adenovirus and herpes virus infections of the eye. The article implied that this was another inside job since she is related to a board member, when in fact it is completely the opposite.... she introduced her brother to the company as a direct result of being impressed with the science. That is very typical of the distortions presented throughout the SA article.
http://yhoo.it/1ehf9oQ

I would very much encourage you to stick with facts and not rely too much on agenda driven B.S. from the likes of Teri Buhl and Pump Terminator.

Happy investing.

I thought about investing in NNVC a few weeks ago. Then I noticed that Diwan Anil had been treating his company like a personal ATM, selling his shares on a weekly basis and pocketing the money:

Then I wasn't impressed by their website. It's pretty bush league, imho:

Ah yes, "painting the mice". Here's the answer to the claim "They're researchers! They have PhD.'s! They would never twist any research!": http://bit.ly/MAodtV
Most of the "research" for NNVC has come from Krishna Menon, who lied about his Harvard doctorate, inventing drugs for Eli Lilly, and God knows what else.
Step carefully.

People read the SEC quarterly filings and annual reports. If you don't understand them, don't invest. Read "The Intelligent Investor" or "Superinvestors of Graham and Doddsville"
>>THINK & Do the math. <<
This is classic "Wolf of Wallstreet" pump and dump. You are being taken to the cleaners: NNVC) Acquisition In Review" claims that an anonymous source informed the author that an unidentified entity is "intent on acquiring NanoViricides" and that this phantom entity valued the Company "between 2.5 to 4.5 billion dollars".
The author has not contacted any of the Company's executives prior to this posting, nor has Seeking Alpha attempted to verify any portion of the story with the Company.
The Company has no knowledge of being an acquisition target, and has not had any discussions whatsoever of such nature with any parties. Eugene Seymour, MD, MPH, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of NanoViricides, said "We find it odd that Seeking Alpha would publish one story claiming the Company has no value and a second claiming that it is about to be acquired for possibly up to $4.5B."
The Company provides information regarding its achievements, major corporate events, as well as business strategy, via its press releases, the quarterly and annual reports, and other SEC filings such as the current reports. The Company advises our investors and shareholders to obtain their information from these authentic sources, and perform due diligence based on credible and authoritative sources. The Company further advises our shareholders and investors that they should not rely on false and baseless statements from unknown and phantom entities, such as this post, as well as the prior post by an admitted short seller, both published on the Seeking Alpha website. The Company has filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York to compel Seeking Alpha to disclose the identity of the person who wrote and published a defamatory, malicious, and libelous article about the Company on February 11, 2014, on the Seeking Alpha website, as previously reported.

NNVC has been verified long ago not to be scam, cheat or fiddle of a company. Scientific reference books have explained and delineated the fundamentals and legitimacy of NNVC therapeutic advancements (ref - CRC publication Bionanotechnology II ISBN -10: 143980463X).
Institutional investors have made review and purchased shares after having demonstrated acceptance to the NYSE/AMEX. (Ref - Vanguard, Goldman Sacks, Deutsche Bank, et.al.)
Working within the pharmaceutical industry protocols to perform in vitro and later, animal testing, prior to human phases, NNVC has been documented to have had excellent success in both. (Ref – H5N1 & Rabies at the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Hanoi, Ebola studies with the United States Army Institute of Infectious Diseases, Epidemic Kerato-Conjunctivitis EKC, anti-Herpes clinical study with THEVAC and Herpes Simplex Virus HSV with Dr. Rosenthal at NEOMED, anti-HIV therapeutics testing with the University of California in addition to KARD Scientific, Dengue Fever tests with Dr. Eva Harris at the University of California, Berkeley, et.al)
The majority of all testing has reported excellent efficacy against the viral types targeted, with no apparent toxicity issues. In proceeding with the normal course of new drug development the FDA granted a pre-IND meeting, which upon being held gave guidance for facility and testing requirements to proceed to first human phase testing. After much effort, NNVC is currently finalizing the facility and preparing for such testing. The FDA and the European medical agencies were also impressed enough to grant NNVC’s Denque Fever anti-viral an orphan drug designation.
The Chair Professor of Ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine, and a Director of the Company, was asked why he invested a total of $7M ($7,000,000.00 USD) in NNVC during the 2013 calendar year. His answer was, “As I became familiar with the technology and the various on-going programs that the Company has, it became apparent that the potential was nothing short of amazing”.
It is possible that as a director, he could have some bias, but it is the writer’s understanding that he was originally made aware of the company by a family member that was impressed by the testing she was doing on one of the company’s anti-viral compounds. The point however, is that this well respected doctor, doctors and institutions in other countries, Dr. Harris, Dr. Rosenthal, as well as others, including financial institutions like Vanguard and Goldman, including the FDA, find NNVC credible and worthy of note and respect due.
It is in the writer’s opinion, that if some person, or group puts forth the suggestion that NNVC is a company built upon a scam or a fraud, or is a ‘snake oil’ stock, that their statements or actions are more apt to be based on deceitful ulterior motives designed to promulgate their own scam or fraud, however large or small, than based on the reality of the company or its technology.
It is the writer’s opinion that from a developmental company standpoint and from an industry comparative and historical perspective, NNVC has shown good stewardship of funding by achieving excellent efficacy results for the total invested dollar value to date. It would also be naïve of the writer to assume no missteps have been made and/or clear skies lie ahead. Like all companies, NNVC has been presented with its own set of corporate, technical, business and legal issues. Some likely brought about by their own mistakes or imperfect actions while others made by the assortment of those outside with their own agendas, good or bad. So far though, NNVC appears to have managed their funds effectively to be on the doorsteps of human trials of a potential game changing anti-viral therapeutic product. For that they should be commended.
It is important for all investors to do their own due diligence. It is best to avoid tendencies blindly follow or blindly assume accuracy and legitimacy of positive or negative commentary. It is also critical to understand one’s risk level and beware of misinformation. Recognize that not all misinformation is intentional, while other cases are indeed malicious and/or manipulative in nature.
The writer currently maintains a small equity position in NNVC common stock and as such could be suspected of bias. While not in the medical or pharmaceutical field, a background in science and engineering, including chemical process R&D experience, has been of immense help to the writer in recognizing true technical merit in areas investigated over the last 30+ years. It is a humble opinion that NNVC has a valuable new therapeutic platform and would be a loss to humanity if it were to ultimately be unsuccessful. It is also a humble opinion that NNVC will have headwinds by the relentless capability of the business and investing world to put forth a nearly endless list of obstacles to almost any endeavor, regardless of the underlying technology, worth, or legitimacy. All said and considered, it is the writer’s opinion NNVC is BUY in the speculative biotech equity category.
