If he's gone then maybe we are selling TS?

Can people please stop spreading this... my post got deleted here for calling this fake news. Why? It's obviously not true.

Interesting that, since 1998, Ray Urbanski has worked at: Aventis, Astra Zeneca, Pfizer, Metabolics, MNKD and now GT Biopharma. Maybe he doesn't play well with others?

Kind of bizarre that we found out about this because yahoo combined a story about urbansky with an unrelated story about mnkd donating afrezza.

I can't verify the story but it isn't something we made up. IOP Ok, it could be true - but why wouldn't mannkind disclose this, according to the posted article this ray urbanski started on september 1st with GT Bio. 6 days later and there has been no announcment by MNKD? This qualifies as material news, does it not? Why doesn't the article mention that he was CMO at Mylan and most recently at Mannkind? Why only Pfizer?

Ok it does seem to be him... sorry for doubting. It mentions Mylan in this article. www.firstwordpharma.com/node/1503122?tsid=1Completely ignores his time at Mannkind. Ray was a Matt P hire so perhaps Mike has replaced him? I don't know but this is very bizarre.

Also interesting that urbansky made no reference to mnkd. Was this innocent or an attempt to delay people finding out about this?

Ok so here are my thoughts: Ray was brought in from Mylan (producer of EpiPen) to spearhead EpiSphere development the leading technosphere candidate. As the company shifted it's attention and resources to Afrezza relaunch, Ray was left without the resources to start on the development and trials needed for this new application. Recently with the hiring of Locust Walk and Greenhill it likely became clear that the leading candidate for next technosphere application became Trep-T with Episphere is taking a back seat. It's possible Ray began searching for new opportunities at this point.
Why did Mannkind not feel that this is material enough news to announce? I don't know.
