No, he’s been all over the map. First it was a goldmine to him, then it was worthless, now it is a good value.

The reason lp gave Advent to NWBO for a very reasonable sum could be that it was her plan all along. Cognate was too soon (trial data needed to mature, USA wrong political climate at the time), so she sold it and reinvested her gains in Advent. Advent was finally proven, it appears, not too soon, so she rewarded the company by giving it to them for a reasonable sum, imo. It could be a 3rd party required it in order to complete some deal, but I trust, at least from an outsiders perspective for now, she knows NWBO was the economic engine that built and sustained Advent. I don’t think regulators forced her hand at all, but this is my opinion. Finally, there are her given reasons — economy and efficiency. Maybe all these played a role.
