This was done for a reason. This is not happenstance or coincidence.
It's been a big week for MNKD and a cc next week. Matt speaking confidently, in public.
Maybe the gloves are finally off...
Time will tell.

Then didn't Matt kind of lied when he tweeted that Al wasn't behind RLS? Well, I guess he technically didn't say that but.... Won't WS consider this as not so good news? Huh? Why would it think that?

What Wall Street wants: RLS to be a company that is independent from mnkd who has experienced people and who is putting up their own capital. What Wall Street doesn't want: RLS to be a company of ex mnkd employees who start up their own company and symphon off the technology from mnkd for no upfront money.

Now we have an "in" with Leona Bay! Spiro was all over her a couple of years ago in Florida. They're best buds; they talked pain together for some time. No wonder he's not posting much. I just hope Mrs. Spiro and Mr. Bay don't find out about the two of them (heck, I don't know, maybe they're all involved). Anyway, I think that was the story, I may remember certain details incorrectly, it's been known to happen, I'm sure Spiro will fill us in. I think she's close enough to the Afrezza and TS to know just how valuable it could be, but what this contract is not, is an independent third party showing confidence in TS, it's a person or persons who already knew how effective the whole MannKind platform is.

Hate to ask it, but are they going to sell Afrezza and then take TS private?

Retail investors will be the last to find out exactly what is going on. Is Andrea no longer with Mannkind a sign of something good or bad? I don't know but obviously when you lose your crown jewel scientist typically is a not a good sign. But, her ending up at Receptor Life Sciences, that just struck a deal with Mannkind is something to pay attention to.

coo, It is not that unusual that you work for a company before it is formally founded. It is CV-housekeeping to adjust it afterwards. I trust that this is correct and that Mannkind has been working on this TS application for some months.

I think the chief medical officer who was on the last conference call is handling the development of Mannkind's pipeline. Andrea's move to RLS is consistent with what Matt said about RLS footing the bill for development of their 3 drugs with Mannkind providing the technical support. Since Mannkind is preserving cash and they are obligated to provide technical help to RLS, moving Andrea over to RLS's payroll seems straightforward to me.

I ironically checked her LinkedIn last week and the RLS position was not there and then all of a sudden pops up with a retro date of October? Something just doesn't seem right but another day in the reality tv world of MNKD!!!!

I trust that this is correct and that Mannkind has been working on this TS application for some months. When I worked for an investment company, we masterminded a listing plan with our trading customer and had worked out a list of directors & management team for a joint venture to be formed in the future. Such company was only part of the development plan after successful listing. And I was on the list too. However, it was very clear to me that such work was not on personal capacity. Thus, it is not unusual to work with would-be shareholders of a company to be formally established in the future. However, while working full time for your employer and at the same time getting paid for work for other venture without employer's prior approval is unethical and possibly a breach of fiduciary duty when conflict of interest is involved. Since we have no idea whether Andrea Leone Bay was assigned to work for RLS or not, I cannot conclude anything at this moment.
