Then, they generally drove him nuts. I only met Tom twice, personally. He seemed like one of those more visionary types - who then gets the crap kicked out of them by the details and/or the sleazy boolschidters.
I saw a functional demo of the "Bank Eyes Only" financial transaction technology, so no - it wasn't a scam. It was a visciously engineered, greed-based train wreck, IMHO. PayPal is now basically the same thing - without the little card reader doomajigy.
Tom got crosswise with the SEC over an inaccurate PR once, and then apparently pulled the same yayhoo stunt a second time - and got hammered. I'm afraid he may have taken Manny V down with him by default; I haven't been able to contact Manny since the demise. He was one helluva a nice guy - and no way involved in anything funky.
It was a real (w)itch to sit out here in the CornPatch, and watch what was a pretty good idea get totally trashed by all the CA whores that were involved. There were meetings scheduled with a major utility company and a major stock brokerage that would have put ECNC on the map. But, that apparently didn't serve the purposes of those milking Hughes; they and Tom never managed to show up. End of story.
It's been a while since I talked with Ron. PM him, and see if he responds.

They have the major anti-viral drug Relenza, the biggest competitor is Roche's Tamiflu. Biota is very likely to win the case against Glaxo...

From: Tadsamillionaire | 3/8/2005 8:34:05 PM | | | | WHO: Bird flu pandemic is imminent Governments must act swiftly to prevent outbreak, officials say World Health Organization officials urged governments on Wednesday to act swiftly to control the spread of bird flu, warning that the world is in grave danger of a deadly pandemic triggered by the virus.The illness has killed 45 people in Asia over the past year, in cases largely traced to contact with sick birds, and experts have warned the H5N1 virus could become far deadlier if it mutates into a form that can be easily transmitted among humans. A global pandemic could kill millions, they say.
“We at WHO believe that the world is now in the gravest possible danger of a pandemic,” Dr. Shigeru Omi, the WHO’s Western Pacific regional director, said Wednesday.
He said the world is “now overdue” for an influenza pandemic, since mass epidemics have occurred every 20 to 30 years. It has been nearly 40 years since the last one.
Better coordination critical Speaking at the opening of a three-day bird flu conference in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, Omi said it is critical that the international community better coordinate its fight against the virus.
As bird flu experts met to devise plans to combat the H5N1 virus, scientists said they lacked knowledge about whether the strain that has led to the slaughter of tens of millions of birds has the pandemic potential of the 1918 Spanish flu that killed between 20 million and 40 million people.
They cautioned that more evidence is needed about how infectious the virus is in humans.
To become a pandemic strain, H5N1 would have to adapt sufficiently on its own, or mix its genetic material with a human virus to become highly infectious in humans who have no protection against it.
“We don’t know whether the virus that is currently circulating among poultry in southeast Asia, the H5N1, will eventually be able to reassert its genetic material with a human influenza virus. That is the key question,” Professor Albert Osterhaus, a leading European virologist at Erasmus University Hospital in Rotterdam, told Reuters in an interview.
