How Vivek Ramaswamy made his money. I am pretty sure this is accurate. [View all]

Vivek Ramaswamy and others owned a company that had a patent for a medicine to
treat Alzheimer’s and they were able to plant a story that their medicine was effective
in treating the disease after which the stock in their company rocketed up. By the time
it came out that the medicine was worthless in treating Alzheimer’s he and his partners
had sold all their stock and walked away with millions of dollars. He will fit right in with
Trump because he is a con man too.

The cleaning up of Ramaswamy’s history and calling him a Biotech Entrepreneur is pure
bullshit. Just like Trump’s sane washing by our media.
