OK, let's look on the bright side here:
Flores was arrested yesterday on related criminal charges that he issued false press releases in which he claimed to have found an AIDS treatment, officials said. The AIDS- related announcement boosted Uniprime's stock.
Arrested does not mean convicted, right? So he still has time to test the remainder of his patients.
Flores, a resident of Las Vegas, has a criminal record, ...
OK, there are lots of people in Las Vegas with criminal records, right? The issue really is what kind of criminal record? Too many parking tickets? Using bent coins in the slots?
including a 1984 conviction for conspiracy to commit a financially motivated murder, the SEC's suit said.
Well, if it was financially motivated, that means he puts a lot of importance on financials, right?
During the time Flores claimed he was doing medical research in Europe, Flores was instead in a Colorado prison for the murder conviction, federal prosecutors in New York said.
Ahh.... well, maybe he was doing medical research on Europe, not in Europe, in the prison library.
Las Vegas-based Uniprime claimed, falsely, that Flores's subsidiary, New Technologies & Concepts Inc., had developed an intravenous treatment, called Plasma Plus, that reversed infections from the HIV virus in five patients treated in Madrid, the charges said.
Well, I suppose five if you count Ben.
