I already told you I don't care about the JW witch-hunt. Whereas that is a fascinating story and side-show, it is largely irrelevant to anatabine's present and future. I just hope the IP is strong and the studies continue to show promise.
As you said before, it isn't as if he was caught with a 12-year-old boy. Nor is he murdering people in a movie theatre for texting, sexting his penis, smoking crack, getting outed for frequenting escort services, murdering his family and committing suicide, etc., etc. It's fine to put him under a microscope, but it helps to look at the big picture also. It's called perspective. He stumbled onto something quite special here with anatabine. Whether it translates into long-term investor success remains to be seen, but you can't objectively take that away from him.
There must be an endearing side to Jonnie that is being suppressed, also. Ultimately, he orchestrated the development of a product intended to help people, and lots of them. I think when this comes to pass, there will be one heck of a book and movie deal; or two, or three. The Legend of JW, coming to a bookstore and theatre near you...lol
All kidding aside, if I was swindled by him, I would have a very different perspective. JW should be rueful. I sympathize for the victims, with one caveat: If I was a victim, I would have to wonder why I was fooled in such a way, and take personal accountability for such naïveté. What did dumBush try to say? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...
As it relates to the 'politician' and the 'businessman', it appears that two power hungry, money-grubbing scumbags sweet-talked, then swindled and screwed each other, and now everyone else involved have to pick up the pieces. Unfortunately, this kind of thing -- as the ex-Gov atluded to -- is the way that business and politics are done (this is just the fresh exposé du jour). Sad but true, doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on.
