If that rumor is true it would be bad news for the company, and the longs. Jose Sanchez is/was the only person there who seemed to know one end of an algae from the other. For example in the recent PR (August 17) Monique Barry can't make her mind whether phycocyanin is a pigment (correct answer) or cyanobacteria (wrong answer). And in the infamous interview DF proudly told us he knows how to pronounce astaxanthin, and then told us it was an algae strain (wrong answer). JMO
