OT: Never did the adage about money and a rat hole seem more apropos:
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Hovering on the brink of death, beleaguered Internet medical site Drkoop.com Inc. received a last-minute $20 million cash injection Tuesday from a group of investors and also announced a new management team.

The ailing Web site will get much-needed financing from investors including Prime Ventures, JF Shea Ventures, Cramer-Rosenthal-McGlynn Inc., and RMC Capital, according to a 10-Q Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

The filing also named a new management team consisting of Richard
Rosenblatt as CEO, Edward Cespedes as president, and Stephen Plutsky as
chief financial officer.

The executives are part of Prime Ventures, a venture capital fund that is
contributing $3.5 million equity to bail out Drkoop.

Financing consists of a private placement of preferred stock convertible into
common stock at 35 cents a share. The newly issued shares will be restricted
securities and not freely tradable.
