If Carter was right and DuPont wrong how come Carter didn't redeem his work by having a new study run "correctly"? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Nothing about HEB quite adds up. The "stink" isn't just Asensio.

Thanks for the reference. I read both articles. I suppose you could interpret the outcome of the lawsuit as you have, particularly if you like the short side, which it appears you do. I don't think anybody, even DuPont, gives up that much money without good reasons. Absent any other information about the suit, I'm inclined to accept the obvious, that Carter was right and DuPont was wrong. The other guy suing Carter also dropped his suit. The article also stated, for what it is worth, that "Neither Du Pont nor HEM has soured on future corporate partnerships." There could be all kinds of reasons Carter did not "redeem" the work on Ampligen and AIDS, including more promising results with CFS patients. Nothing wrong with that. Research can take you in all kinds of directions. I don't see anything sinister there and I don't attach any "stink" to him or HEB in all the things the short sellers have dredged up from 10 years ago. I may be prejudiced, but I've seen the kind of outright lies and half truths short sellers have done on other stocks in an attempt to drive them down. If anything stinks, it is that tactic.
