Thanks, Rick. Some follow ups:

On a few occasions, I've indicated that I pray that Cadus Technologies can be spun out to current shareholders if Icahn, Paige et al. decide to go with a non-biotech flier.

Where does the spin-off get its money? A private placement? IPO? I don't have much idea of how that all works.

OTOH, you'd think that the ex-employees would be buying hand over fist if my enthusiasm were well-founded.

Somebody is buying. Maybe it's ex-employees? Or maybe they didn't like being shut down and are P.O.'d? Or maybe they couldn't find work and are really P.O.'d as well as broke?

Icahn went to med school and you mentioned that some board member(s) are sophisticated science-wise. You think they know what they've got and, if so, have the skill to leverage things?

Regards,

Wayne
