I was reading today that Malone is on a first-name basis with the malignant little garden gnome.
Anyone in the Western nations, and many in the Eastern bloc, who have ever worked in pharmaceutical research or sales has at least met the self-adoring little bazztid. The man has not seen a patient for the majority of his career. He is a carnival barker for BigPharm profit schemes. He has been going around like a Pied Piper to all those huge companies for the past 40 years, giving speeches and convening consortia to gin up his global money-making schemes.
