Background: Biotechnology in Israel Slower, Costlier, Riskier

(By Hadar Horesh, David Goldman and Galit Chemi, Yediot Ahronot, Economics Supplement, 26.1.99, p. 3)

In the past 10-15 years, mathematics, computers, software and the Internet have driven the natural sciences from public attention. The moment that investors and venture-capital funds saw high-tech's high return on investment, they opened the public's awareness to this sector and students flocked to it.


During these bull market periods, Prof. Haim Aviv, a pioneer in the founding of biotechnology companies in Israel, succeeds in raising a little capital for them. In the early 1980s, Prof. Aviv founded General Biotechnology and Pharmos. Three years ago, the largest investor in biotechnology companies in Israel and the United States, David Blech, went bankrupt, and since then several sources of funding have dried up.


Actually i've heard that Blech has interests with Plrs.Yet i only find his brothers name listed??? I guess David dosn't want his name mentioned anywhere . His wife Margie Chassman is usually the way he does it. Here i found proof from a web search:

Below is SEC filing naming individuals and entities involved in this latest pump and dump scam from SEC Christopher Cox's
Alexandria,Virginia neighbor and National Taxpayers Union founder.Interesting to see the Leumi Bank of Israel connection in light of the fact that ex Secretary of Treasury John Snow,
Dan Quayle,the Kellogg Brown and Root boys still have some interst there and could stop its use for an obvious U.S. penny stock pump and dump and probable mnoney laundering operation.I wonder why they don't do something ?

Anyone have any idea why they incorporated their penny stock pump and dump scam in the good ol' USA rather than in Israel ?
