But a review of Ramaswamys career marked by the hyping of a failed Alzheimer drug, giant payouts when other investors got burned, lawsuits alleging pressure to break securities laws and more reveals a businessperson whose true liquid net worth is unknown and whose track record as a successful entrepreneur shows limited value creation for anyone other than himself.

(842 posts)For background:
1) bought a GSK drug patent for $5 million that GSK said was a failed drug
2) took a failed clinical trial from GSK, put his mom on it to repeat the trial (she was an Indian doctor)
3)SURPRISE!!! It works
4) Go IPO
5) He and his mom get $300 million
6) they cash out REAL FAST
7) everyone else loses when the stock crashed 99.7% IN ONE DAY because it failed FDA trials
Should be in jail
