Yes, you did sneak a peek into the future: a real pharmaceutical company will eventually transform ARIA research into money. Now, since the market knows ARIA can't do it, the game is now to let ARIA bleed to death so it won't have any bargaining power in selling off it's assets.It will all be swallowed up pretty cheap. AND DON'T FORGET THE ACCOUNTING PART OF THE LIQUIDATION EQUATION: there will be so many senior claims pulled out of the drawer against ARIA assets ( salaries,bonuses,research collaboration fees, backdoor agreements with funding partners etc,etc)that common equity will be go virtually unsatisfied. I speak from experience. In the big equity graveyard there are many markers with names like ARIA- and guess what, they all died the same way. No surprise to any sharp mind in the field. Adios Amigo.
