By the way Smokey21 please don't take my last post as being critical of you. It's a wider point I'm making not specifically directed at you.

Generally the Large Short players at least have the decency to stand behind their work, recent large shorts come to mind Lumber Liquidators, Valeant, Herbal Life, all three situations the shorts backed their work up in public.

Our anonymous PHASE V group are cowards at least and dirty conflict laden criminals at worst.

PHASE V stand behind your words in public, otherwise you are cowards.

Jack, you are right, I certainly do want NWBO to succeed, not only for my own benefit, but even more so for those suffering from cancer. Hell, one day it could be someone I love, or even me.

I agree, I don't give an anonymous report much credibility, but like our friend Adam, they did a good job taking selective information and painting a picture that is none the flattering to NWBO. It is serious enough that Woodford called for an investigation to clear the air of this misinformation.

I have taken one example from the report and found issues with it myself. That had to do with them claiming the patents were sold, when in reality they appear to have been assigned as security collateral for a loans from Toucan, and later Four M. However, there is still a question in my mind as to why several years later they appear to still be assigned to Four M. I'm sure someone could clear that one up pretty quickly.

Then there is the Malik suspension/investigation, which is underway. Again, there should be a clear explanation that shouldn't require a lot of work to investigate and explain. It just needs to happen. Otherwise, one our independent directors is in a bad light and people will accuse the board of being self-serving or rubber-stamping Linda's decisions.

Finally, there is the issue over the Israel treatments and what is going on there; and where those revenues and costs are accounted for (assuming people really are being treated with L). The company doesn't need to be accused of revenue recognition issues at this stage of its development. I'm sure there is an explanation.

In my mind, everything else in the report is pure rubbish. I know their intent and purpose, and many of these other things have been bantered about forever on these boards.

I don't think clearing these things up lends credibility to the report, as much as it will lend credibility to the management of the company. I wish Linda could be more open on some of the other things around where the money is being spent, but I trust that it is being spent in areas to advance the product through the trials and commercialization. I believe she is keeping those things close to the vest for good reason.

As you said, ultimately it comes down to approval, because everything else won't matter if that doesn't happen. On that front, I am pretty optimistic. Screw the Shorts!!!!

Long and strong with many, many shares here. Not selling any until the game is over.

Have you ever heard of any organisation anywhere in the world that has to robustly defend itself against an ANONYMOUS article.?


No but then again I've never seen a NASDAQ listed company so unresponsive to shareholders and so covert in all of their actions. Some of these allegations have been festering for years, and if the company operated openly and transparently they wouldn't be in this position now.

this hurts you and I through expensive investor dilution with very unsavoury investors.


90% of the dilution has been to Cognate and I would blame Managements actions for the low share price, not the shorts. The Management Team has continually laid forth expectations and guidance that they have failed to meet. That's okay with me because sh*t happens in biotech, but not to address or update the shareholders is poor business practice. It's like when you're siting on an airplane that isn't moving and you get angrier and angrier because nobody is telling you what is going on, and how that same situation is so much different when you have a responsive pilot that tells you exactly what's happening even if you sit for the same length of time.
