MNKD INVESTORS

[tmann]

As you know Evan Wright and I have been writing a story on the criminal ring or short seller, most prominently Adam Fuerstein (sp?) at the Street, and Jim Cramer on CNBC.

A senior figure in the financial industry, a well know Academic economist has offered to underwrite a conference at Columbia University in NYC to discuss this. Seat will be limiter, but they will be free. A network connection will be available for anyone. Anyone in the world may participate. This senior figure started one of the first hedge fund and know the industry intimately. He has short, flash traded, he is in some sense the spirit of and certainly could be considered the father of, our financial industry.

He thinks it's got out of control.

We're all going to talk about that.

This man, telling this story, is going to open the show.

My oldest friend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ9fB-wM8uo

Because you have helped me, and because I like you invest in MNKD, I will see you are invited and do have seats. I will send, at the proper time, all the necessary infor to Irene who runs this board very sensibly.

I wish I could say more, but this IS a Rolling STone story. 

A Very big one. They're pleased as it will redeem their reputation. Entirely I should think.

I have no insider information. I haven't talk, yet, to anyone at MNKD. But at the right time they will be invited. You see we think Al Mann is pretty special, to do what he did. Not just with Afrezza but with his whole life.

You can't help making friends if you live like Al Mann.

Those friends want to honor Al and all his friends. The investors here, who all know each other, and have stuck by Al and this company, those people. You kept faith.

I can tell you at this time that among Al's friends, and yours, and mine and Evans two are some world leaders. They will also be there, on the stage, to honor this man.

Then we'll fix the problem. And ALL that that implies.

Look forward to seeing you there. Please introduce yourselves to me. I am old and white and will be looking lost. Evan looks like Evan.

Best wishes to everyone of you, and thanks.

Ted Mann

Afrezza works, just like 2+2=4

It is really too bad that Rolling Liars is doing this story. The mag and its editors/owners are known liars and fabricators of the truth. They can't even apologize with dignity or remorse. They have no shame because they are not real journalists just shills for leftist propaganda.

It makes me nervous to call any of this activity 'criminal'. This issue does deserve broader attention to change how naked short selling and FTD works but all of the FUD by AF and his friends is completely legal. It's not necessarily right but I really don't see anything wrong with them airing opinions based on their (mis)understanding or with an obvious agenda. That's the whole thing about an open market. People are free to say whatever even if it is technically a lie. As long as the truth to counter them is publicly available, that's where the matter ends. If investors heed to his advice, they are doing so with their own money and deserve their gains or losses. I disagree with the garbage that he puts out but when compares Afrezza with Exubera or says the sales fall short, it's all under the broad umbrella of his opinion. There is no recourse available to long investors and it's a dangerous can of worms to open to try and counter his opinions with anything other than the 'true' version of events. There are places like this board, the Yahoo Board, Seeking Alpha etc where the info battle is being played out and it is, IMHO more than sufficient.
Althought the thought of taking AF down brings me joy, I consider this effort misguided. All anyone can do if they are long is hold and wait.

tmann..I do appreciate what you are trying to do though

Well, with all due respect, I disagree strongly with your assessment. It is illegal to take steps specifically directed at manipulating the market. As I understand it, it is the collusion and conspiracy to defraud investors that is at issue here, not "free speech." The miscreants have been hiding behind the first amendment for far too long, and part of the problem is the antiquated wording of SEC regulations that were designed for the world of 1935 well before the digital age and the ability to spread false messages far and wide rapidly and under the guise of legitimate communication. 

Note that biopharma companies themselves are tightly regulated in their communications by both the FDA and the SEC, as well as the FTC, so it is hardly a level playing field. You assert that it is ok for shills to use fabricated, unfactual information in their communications because others can "set the record straight" using facts. But once a lie is out there, the damage has been done. It can be refuted or retracted, but there is no assurance that the  people who see the retraction or correct information are the same people who saw the lies. The miscreants know this. I for one, have read enough testimony and factual documentation on the illegal practices of the market, particularly around shorting, to conclude that a comprehensive clean up of the investment industry and its regulation and enforcement safeguards is sorely needed. Moreover, who wants to live in a world where ethics and morality disappear and only poorly enforced "legality" is used to influence human behavior?

How about deliberately keeping a life saving drug from people, diabetic, who died as a result.

I think that's criminal. I think killing your fellow human beings is definitely criminal. It's one of the laws we really should enforce.

We seem to be afraid.

Of Adam Feuerstein and Jim Cramer? You have any idea how many little biotech companies this next of parasitic vipers have destroyed? 

Every one of those companies had good products. They would have saved lives, grown, and employed people developed new products save more likes. Now they won't. Now they don't exist, and the patients who were cured, their friends and relations who saw the cure and invested their money thinking something that good was GUARANTEED to be a blockbuster?


They were robbed, in public in from of THOUSAND of witnesses, people who not only impoverished, they cried out for justice and were told by the SEC and THE FBI, well some of them go a form letter.





 They don't think justice exist - in a country were this murdering of our sick and poor and weak.
