yes. I wonder if the wall street folk did not know about this management move since around May 8 when our daily trading volume was ignited? I guess it could have been due to talk of a foreign deal or more, perhaps other things, or perhaps, or also, word about the management change.

Im thrilled mike c. is taking over but no way he can keep doing things he was and run the company to. Who is going to be his right hand man?

anyone who says there is NO AMGEN connection with MNKD is Wrong or just Lying.
Mike C is a Pharmacist by trade but becomes MNKD CEO after 1 year of working as head of their marketing team...
He was sent over by AMGEN to get Afrezza sales going prior to the BUY OUT ... AMGEN has sent employees over to company s they planned to acquire before.... its their MO..
I called the AMGEN connection in March 2016 and was laughed at and scoffed at .... I will be expecting Huge apologies this summer from many of you.
If I am wrong ..I will do the same.

I hope you're right. Mike C may be a pharmacist by trade but he also has an MBA from Wharton and some serious global experience with large BPs. It's easy to complain in hindsight about MNKD under Matt but I like how Matt transitioned MNKD from a development company working with SANOFI to a stand alone manufacturing and distribution company. It hasn't been a market success yet but as management stated, Matt has created a good foundation for Mike. That wasn't easy with what he had to work with. All said, it's possible Matt simply recognized his best fit and enjoyment in life is that of a CFO, not a CEO. Mike C has an outstanding corporate pedigree, education and persona to step into his new role as CEO. I can't wait to see how he performs and would not be surprised in the least if there is an Amgen connection. Some make the point that there's no real synergy with AMGEN. Mike was a VP at AMGEN and he certainly didn't lack the vision to recognize Afrezza is going to change the diabetes space. There are probably other high level friends of Mike's over at AMGEN that recognize this as well. I won't make a prediction but the point about AMGEN having sent employees to acquisition targets in the past should not be overlooked.

You've been pretty adamant about your position kuka. I'm not sure I buy in completely but anything is possible. So give us some examples on your "AMGEN has sent employees over to company s they planned to acquire before.... its their MO.." statement. In other words, sell your argument. Thanks.

I believe this would be the Company kuka is referring too, I'll look for a better article where Amgen Employees did move to ONYX before the acquisition took place. investors.amgen.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=61656&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1849611

Is there any evidence of this having ever happened? If it's their MO then it should be easy to see in their acquisitions yet I cannot find any evidence.

Nothing in there about any former Amgen employee moving to Onyx that I saw.

Lets go one better. If AMGEN buys (or even announces they are buying) Mannkind before the end of this summer I will donate $100 to JDRF and post the receipt here. Want to take the other side? Either way JDRF is $100 better off so it's for a good cause.

No donations here. I just want to say that I have been on board with Kuka. At least, I have always thought there was a good possibility/probability about the Amgen theory. I have been wondering if they could have already agreed to a price already. Could any Buyout or Buyin deals have already been signed but not made public? Or, do they have to be disclosed to public when signed? Like, a deal "in principal", but somehow binding.

My decision to buy and hold mnkd was made long before AMGN was ever mentioned, and weather or not AMGN will buy or partner makes no difference to me. Im not endorsing the AMGN theory, I'm endorsing the Afrezza theory. Have a nice day.
