Wildcat Capital Issues Letter to Board of Sorrento Therapeutics

Demonstrates that Sorrento CEO, Management and Board are Destroying Significant Shareholder Value by Failing to Properly Manage Company Operations and Assets

Believes Management and Board Have Engaged in Multiple Transactions that Reflect Blatant Conflicts-of-Interest and Self-Dealing

Calls on Board To Replace CEO, Terminate Financing Transactions and Initiate a Sale Process for the Company

As set forth more fully herein, three serious issues have come to light that expose the failure of Dr. Ji and the Board to properly manage the Company, as well as the intentional waste and diversion of Company assets. First, over the past several months, the Company has been acquiring and/or transferring assets to newly created wholly-owned subsidiaries and then issuing significant amounts of those subsidiaries' shares back to the Company's executive officers and Directors through significant grants of options, and warrants for Class B super-voting stock, all exercisable for nominal consideration, thereby engineering a personal benefit for such officers and Directors at the direct expense of the Company and its shareholders.

California biopharmaceutical company claims coronavirus antibody breakthrough

A California-based biopharmaceutical company claims to have discovered an antibody that could shield the human body from the coronavirus and flush it out of a person’s system within four days, Fox News has exclusively learned.

Later Friday, Sorrento Therapeutics will announce their discovery of the STI-1499 antibody, which the San Diego company said can provide "100% inhibition" of COVID-19, adding that a treatment could be available months before a vaccine hits the market.

"We want to emphasize there is a cure. There is a solution that works 100 percent," Dr. Henry Ji, founder and CEO of Sorrento Therapeutics, told Fox News. "If we have the neutralizing antibody in your body, you don't need the social distancing. You can open up a society without fear."

I wonder how difficult it is to fight off an SEC investigation for making material false claims in public about your company.

Let's see the science, before buying into this.

What evidence do you have right now that this works? Serious question.

I would be willing to bet it is total bull . But hey, I hope so too.

Figure the odds that a company engaging in some questionable financing and material self-dealing suddenly has the trillion dollar miracle cure for the pandemic of the century.

Need a lot more than the CEO's claims on Fox "news"

I don't have any evidence that this works. Settle down.

A treatment, not a vaccine

UHN-U of T-led study shows antiviral drug can speed up recovery of COVID-19 patient

International research shows for the first time that

interferon-α2b

improves virus clearance and decreases levels of inflammatory markers
shown for the first time that an antiviral drug can help speed up the recovery of COVID-19 patients.

treatment with interferon(IFN)- α2b may significantly accelerate virus clearance and reduce levels of inflammatory proteins in COVID-19 patients.

"Interferons have been approved for clinical use for many years, so the strategy would be to 'repurpose' them for severe acute virus infections."

Interferons are a group of signaling proteins released by the human body in response to all viruses. As Dr. Fish explains, they are a "first line of defense."

They target different stages of a virus's life cycle, inhibiting them from multiplying.

They also boost an immune response by activating different immune cells to clear an infection. Some viruses, however, can block this natural defense mechanism.

"But it is possible to override this block.

If a virus blocks interferon production, then treating with interferon can offset this."

No we do not. We do have a lot of reasons to be skeptical. This is an example of where you consider the source of a claim, size of the claim, and require a lot of solid evidence before accepting it.

It wasn't an exclusive. The stock market reacted before Fox said anything. Perhaps some insider trading. Either way, I feel these announcements are just brief attempts to raise stock prices of these company so their shareholders can cash out. If it's legit, that'll be a pleasant surprise, but these kind of announcements typically don't go through outlets like Fox.

I was told about it before the Fox article by a friend in San Diego who works at Inovio Pharmaceuticals so it's definitely not a Fox News exclusive.

even factoring in the peaks and valleys typically associated with reporting during the weekends, this week did show improvement

decline in daily new cases is pretty gradual, but we havent had a single day of 30k new cases for a couple of weeks now

true. like we've been saying, these decisions need to be made on the state and local levels. there isnt a sweeping one size fits all policy that makes sense
