Thanks Umibe5690,

I understand your point and if there were any evidence of Duffy receiving golden handcuff level options, I would be more inclined to agree with you. But there are no record in NWBO's SEC filing of Duffy getting options (which would have been required, right?).

So, if you remove these stock options whereby "Duffy would become wealthy beyond his dreams" then there is literally no motivation for him for him to be at NWBO other than my position (Merck's DD) and clearly no reason for him to stay, given his position and accomplishments at Merck).

But before I become dogmatic on my position, I would have to determine if it is possible for Duffy to have been assigned stock options and their assignment not communicated via SEC filings. Do you (or anyone else who wants to chime in) know if this is possible?

In any case, I appreciate and respect your current and other opinions and hold them in the highest regard.

Good luck to all longs and to cancer patients fighting for their lives.

Call me naive, but I just don't buy the idea that Duffy came to NWBO on behalf of Merck to validate the platform. If NWBO had the goods he would never leave. In fact, even if he were on a mission for Merck and not only were his perspectives on NWBO's platform confirmed, but far exceeded, he would undoubtedly want to join NWBO as a long term employee. This would be a win-win-win for all parties. Merck would have validation, LP would have a valuable employee and Duffy would become wealthy beyond his dreams. I think that Duffy discovered something unsettling and decided to leave.
