I would think it's best to break things down to simple terms to understand a situation. Is BP holding Innovation down? For this we need to assume that multiple very large and powerful conglomerates are having internal secret meetings and hiring people to attack a four person employed company out of MA. This is not happening. The other method would be to grease the FDA which we know is done but then why Fast Track? Why anything from the FDA. Doesn't make much sense. BP may understand that there are Hedge Funds that have a major interest in Innovations demise. That would be the way to go if that is what's happening. What does Hedge Funds do? They hire people specifically to manipulate info, they take stakes in one company and help destroy the competition, they use manipulative tactics to raise and lower share prices, they lend at Loan Sharking rates, they collude, conspire, and do anything for bottom line. I'm not saying BP doesn't do the same but they have bigger fish to fry. A few Hedge Funds with naked shorts, large investments in competitive drugs sounds a lot more like it!
Sincerely,
