Imagine if I told you that Vivek Ramaswamy, the Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party, built his vast fortune through a deceptive biotechnology company. It’s quite a fascinating story, and it all starts with him claiming to be a Harvard-trained “scientist” in the field of biotechnology. He boasted about developing numerous medicines, with the one he’s most proud of being a therapy for kids born with a genetic condition that would lead to their death by the age of 3 without treatment.

But what if I told you that there’s more to his career than meets the eye? In reality, Vivek’s success story is more intricate and darker than he portrays. He positioned himself as a financier and prospector who employed a clever strategy to deceive investors and cash out with massive payouts totaling over $200 million before he even turned 35.

ok, here we go, now it’s time for negative stories about Vivek. And we are supposed to be shocked, just shocked, at all of his shortcomings which nobody knew about until it was revealed now.

Another article about Ramaswamy’s companies

The fact that someone can make something of this size out of virtually nothing should be of concern to everyone in the industry. Magical thinking will take you just so far (remember the intoxicating dot-com days?). The argument that the market for biotech can stay stable rests on the belief that many of these new technologies in the clinic offer a fundamentally new and better way to treat many diseases. Something real. But when biotech mania takes over and perfectly legal schemes like this rain money, the pitfalls start to look like the Grand Canyon.

“Vivek Ramaswamy: The MULTI-BILLION Dollar Financial FRAUD”

Sorry DeSantis supporters, you CANNOT revive your candidate, regardless of how much you try tearing down his opponents. If not Vivek, then Christie, if not Christie, then Pence.

Bottom line is that us MAGA types gave DeSantis a chance, he SPIT ON US, and now we’re moving on, and hopefully will find someone other than the current field. If not, we’ll settle on someone in the current field, other than DeSantis.

Advice for DeSantis supporters: Get him to spend 5 MINUTES with some MAGA people if he wants to a credible GOP candidate at the national level.

It’s official - Vivek is now in second place. The idiotic attacks that used to be targeted at DeSantis are now targeted at him. Just waiting for the inevitable unhinged rant by Laura Loomer aimed at Vivek - that’s always part of the initiation rite for anyone who dares to run against Trump.

...imagine if I told that the current market cap of ROIV (Roivant Sciences) is over $8 billion.

Sounds like Viking got a great deal.

That’s okay, he parroted some conservative talking points so some Freepers are gushing his praises and promoting him. /s

Vivek will betray our Nation the moment of possibility of political office. Vivek only says what you want to hear toward that goal.

Nice to slip in, “Allegedly.” Allows complete BS to be posted here.

The FR infestation needs extermination.

One of the first things I said here was...find out about this guy.

Investigate him, research him, he seemingly came out of nowhere.

Well, THAT’S WHAT POSTERS ARE DOING. DUH.

I don’t know whether Vivek is a shady businessman or not.

All I know is that he’s only 38, and he’s never held political office. For many years, he didn’t even vote. He says he was “apolitical” for a long time.

Now, all of a sudden, he’s running to be POTUS and saying what many GOP voters seem to want to hear.

That’s what gives me pause.
