Interesting read. History of MNKD

Written last year, but very interesting for Al Mann fans.
I didn't realize that Technosphere came into being via Minimed ( Al's insulin pump co.) 
Minimed ultimately got bought by Medtronics.
Medtronics just partnered with Sanofi in some sort of diabetes venture.

As someone who was in MiniMed for years, and until the buyout, this was interesting and I had completely forgotten that Technosphere was actually first purchased by MiniMed, as opposed to Al Mann or the nascent MannKind! Geez, sure glad that Medtronic didn't insist on Technosphere being a part of the deal!

Seeing the man with the Exubera bong made me laugh! How could Pfizer think that would be a winner? Although, if Matt carried that thing around in his pocket instead of the Dreamboat, he'd probably do really well on the road....

Wow! That really was an amazing article.  It all about sums it up.  And what was Pfizer thinking.  The bong like contraption looks ridiculous.  Lol.  Thanks for posting that article.  I feel even more confident now holding all my shares through approval.
