Does it matter if it is intentional sabotage or unintentional incompetence? We have been screwed either way.

It matters.. if it is intentional sabotage we are in deep chit...
I tend to believe it is a combo of incompetence and being strung along and fed BS by MC til he couldn't get by with it anymore.. so he took the cowards way and shut down his Twitter account.

I’m of the opinion that if there is sabotage that it’s unintentional. In my opinion the business plan created by the current CEO is bad because it appears to follow the Big Pharma SOP for launching new drugs. In the right hands, Technosphere Insulin has the potential to disrupt the diabetes treatment industry and, as is the case with all disruptive technology, you must either go big or go home. MC is afraid to go big and, frankly, doesn’t possess the skill set needed for successfully introducing disruptive medical innovations. This may sound harsh but MannKind’s current CEO is not a leader. He is a follower. Not to re-hash an old topic, but is it still possible to recruit Duane DeSisto? From what I recall, he was first choice for the job but due to some non-compete technicalities, he wasn't able to take the CEO role. I can sympathize for Castagna with the company he inherited, which has since improved. However, it's beginning to appear that getting MNKD to the next level will require someone with the right experience. tl;dr, perhaps the possibility of a new CEO should be considered at this juncture. |

I agree with your post but it’s my opinion that they knew about the noncompete beforehand and he bailed because SNY dumped us. |

I believe that Mike C was told by his people and the board not to do Twitter or FB or any other social media stuff. A CEO should not be disclosing stuff because it affects the stock market and there could be huge problems if he continued.
But, that's mytakeonit

But, that's mytakeonit The problems occur when he feeds B.S. to people on social media ("It's all up from here!") and doesn't follow through at all. |

B.S. is a point of view, as intent is debatable and social media is a point of contention. So ("Its all up from here!") thats the way I see it. But I dont count on social media post to conclude that. There are SEC filings that lead me to believe what I do. Im waiting for the next 8K to drop not a tweet.
Lets Go!

Sounds like reasons to sell and move on. How dare you interrupt the Mannkind bash thread! Have you no shame? Please all of you....continue.🤣 Here is my problem with comments like this. The purpose of this board is to express opinions and engage others in discussion about this company and related investment strategies. If we only get happy, blissful comments, that ignores the reality of past investor experience. If you believe that we should communicate in happy comments only because it may turn off potential investors then I believe you are woefully ignorant. Besides, what do you learn if you only hear one side of the story. The real story here is that most of the good people on this board have lost a considerable amount of money in this investment. To not acknowledge that is a great deception that ignores the true Mannkind investment experience. Do you wish to deny this?
When Michael Stipe was asked why he only wrote dark, bleak songs he responded with this. I dedicate it to you...

What is desisto doing? His LinkedIn profile says he is ceo of insulet but he hasn't been for years. Insulet has done extremely well since he left.
