Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc (IPIX)

We can hope. I know a person who owned a small engineering firm (hundreds of employees but not thousands) and they competed against McDonnell Douglas and others for a tow behind sonar design and build. His company had the best design and the best price but the government wasn’t going to award him the contract. He asked why and they couldn’t answer so he threatened to sue. That night he gets a call from a top military officer telling him to make the problem go away. He went in the next day and learned the only way he would get the contract would be to hire the larger company as a subcontractor.

I can see something like that happening to (or for?) IPIX. I agree it would be annoying. As to my acquaintance, he was annoyed enough to sell his company, although at a great benefit since he did get the contract.
