I think it was a win-win situation. Mannkind has to provide senior scientific support, per the agreement with RLS. RLS has the cash to pay her well and her salary gets removed from Mannkind's payroll. Agree. I think it is a good thing that RLS takes over the payroll of a few engineers from Mannkind at this moment. This helps Mannkind to extend its runway for marketing Afrezza with the available cash without Mannkind having to lay off these people (layoffs by Mannkind will always be spun as FUD).

It seems like most around here must have only worked for one company their entire lives? How else could it be that some people have trouble recognizing when a upper-middle management person goes to work for a company that does business with her own? Clearly, while RLS was negotiating with MNKD (before all the ink was dried on RLS's corporate paperwork), they spied Andrea and made her a better offer. Not unheard of. The problem is we do not know why she changed positions. Was it that she saw Mannkind as a dysfunctional company and wanted out? Or is this part of a strategic plan of Mannkind and other entities to move Technosphere along? You really try to spin a linkedin entry of a upper management person into a proof for disfunctional MNKD? Hilarious. What is next? A FB update of the gatekeeper in Dansbury?

1. Did Mannkind ever announce her departure or replacement? 2. This situation (Leone-Bay going to RLS) irritates me insomuch as Matt's past statements and Mannkind's FAQ about the RLS deal indicated that there was no linkage between RLS and MNKD. Matt really needs to have a press release out on this today. I'm assuming she jumped the gun by updating in a public forum. We need the background on this move. She isn't management. Mannkind doesn't need to release or address it at all. No need to be hysterical over it.

The CC should be moved up to address this issue.

Andrea wasn't upper management. She is and was a scientist with a fancy name of VP of Pharma Development which just means she was a very important scientist. Vice president titles are given out like candy in companies. And if I am spinning as you say, then you are a rational person who is taking this news with a grain of salt.

It "irritates" you??!!?? Matt, MNKD, who ever, is clearly wheeling & dealing to save the company, which includes its shareholders. Good for them, I hope they do as much shady s;,t as possible behind closed doors. If they tell YOU, then they're telling everyone who's trying to destroy them. It blows me away that people like you don't understand that.

The CC should be moved up to address this issue. She was gone in Oct and it's almost February. If Mannkind thought they needed to address this they would have back when she left. They didn't because they aren't obligated to. Being a VP scientist isn't the same as being a key C level manager. Some of you have never heard of her before and now that you know that she's gone, some of you are going bananas over it.

No one is going bananas. Clarification & transparency would be nice. You don't find it strange she pops up at RLS who just happened to sign a licensing deal with the company she was at for a long time?

Words below from everyone's favourite streeter about Andrea Leone-Bay's departure: a lot of people have been making this claim and I have been trying to figure out if its possible to do. What are others thoughts? I refuse to just put anything under the rug and be ignorant and label it as FUD.

Thats really bad if he did. The timing is terrible.
