Unfortunately your statement is based on pure presumption in regards to the similarities of Apple and their manufacturing arrangement to that of NWBO's. Apple investing in it's manufacturing partner was for benefit of Apple. I can assure you there wasn't the conflict of interest in that the CEO owned the manufacturing facility they used.
We should stick to the facts as we know them, and we don't know much. NWBO investing in Cognate benefits the CEO Linda Powers and Toucan even if it doesn't benefit the shareholders of NWBO. Is this a good deal? Maybe, maybe not, I don't know and either does anyone outside of their inner circle.
