Diwan has made a FREAKING FORTUNE doing what he's been doing.

Consider that almost all of that accumulated deficit of $100,000,000.00 was paid by NNVC to Theracour. 30% of that ain't chicken feed.

The there is his and Meeta's combined NNVC salaries and compensation, of almost $1M/year:

That's quite a bit of hay accumulated over 15 years.

And lord knows how much their combined Theracour salaries are on top of all this. Maybe a couple million more each year.

No rational person would risk spending all that money on a very risky drug-development program when they could just transfer it to their bank accounts as has Diwan. They would have to be certain of having something huge in hand, with a near certainty of success, like a "penicillin for viruses" that had "no toxic effects".
