An expert con artist. Made his fortune running an IPO fraud in the stock market. Bilked almost a billion $$ from unwary investors, by one account.
Mark Levin ripped him apart reading from a new background investigation about. I didn’t hear the beginning so I don’t know the source Levin was quoting extensively.
I saw another report on how Ramaswammy made a bundle of money by buying a failed Alzheimer’s drug from GSK, renaming it, having his mother (a psychiatrist) say one of GSK’s trials was misinterpreted. On that basis, gullible investors bought stock in Vivek’s new drug company which had a small staff of mostly his family members. Vivek promised a new clinical trial of the drug. He waited and waited to begin the trial. Then he dumped the stock and announced that the trial had failed, knowing all along that the thing was a scam. He renamed his company afterward.
That’s the gist of the report I heard. I think the guy is a snake oil salesman. Why any Republican is backing this fraud is beyond me. His debate performance was just that, a performance.
