AMRN and the Hudsucker proxy.

What if the insiders deliberately ran this into the ground in order to take the company private cheap perhaps with some financial partner... there is just no other good explanation for why JT and Kennedy still have jobs.

1. Botch the marketing after reduce-it in general by hiring expensive sales force but not using your 1A win to go direct to consumer.

2. Delay Europe forever.

3. Hire no lobbyists knowing that the FDA already hates you for 1st amendment suit (which you don't actually use to market your drug)... make sure the FDA screws you with an adcom to delay insurance tiering.

4. File your patent suit in the 9th circuit, virtually guaranteeing you would get a left wing activist judge who would be itching to invalidate your patents (now this would seem to make the company not worth as much when it goes private, I'll get to that).

5. Deliberately botch the appeal as well...

6. Talk about GIA in Europe in a rambling incoherent speech even for JT

7. Let the company crater to 2.50 over the next few months...

8. The insiders and their partner (whoever it is) borrow and buy it for 5 dollars a share... with their cash assets they easily recoup borrowing costs.

9. They do as a private company a deal with Teva (or some other company) and keep most of the US market for Vascepa... and stop botching the marketing profits soar.

10. They also do distribution deal for Europe.

11. They get very rich, shareholders got screwed.
