The brilliant thing about Theracour is that it's making Dr. Diwan rich even if 'cides never get to market. Sure, he could become a billionaire if 'cides actually work and are successful in the market. But as it is, his worst case scenario is to retire comfortably as a millionaire. Too bad the same can't be said about his investors.

Of course it doesn't work. The claims by a pair of ineffectual clowns 15 years ago, of being the greatest medical breakthrough of the past century, invented by someone with no knowledge of virology or drug development, screamed SCAM!!!.

(Though it has been seriously suggested that God planted this knowledge in Diwan's brain with the goal of saving mankind, but mistakenly chose the wrong vehicle.)

I speculate that Diwan believes he can squeeze millions of more dollars out of more suckers. If not through NNVC, then again by following the same playbook and starting over again once NNVC is gone. Therein lies the value of the IP.

Though the patents are now old enough, that they wouldn't still be alive by the time an imaginary drug would be approved for market. Not that retail investors in miracle cures care about such details.
