Very Timely Investigated Reporting by Judd!

Ohio wake up and read!

Question:

Why do you folks keep picking Billionaires to represent you?

They only take and They never give back to you!

How’s that working for you?

Judd just keeps the lights On!

It is Caleb Ecarma who did this reporting. From PI's sister publication, Oligarch Watch. Judd says this, but I wish he would make it clear who wrote it.

I subscribe to both.

This was my mistake. When I was setting it up to send to the Popular Info list, I forgot to switch in Caleb's name. It's corrected now.

Thanks Judd! I didn't think you omitted it maliciously. Thanks for reading the comment. You all rock and we admire you greatly!

Julie Roberts's avatar

Yes, we do admire you folks.

Keeping us informed!

Honesty and so very thorough.

Many thanks for this!

Not that liars and cheaters get prosecuted anymore- they get to keep their ill begotten gains while spreading more self graciating lies, lots of lies. And then they try to take over government. This article was so informative and explanatory. I got a real education reading this!

This is just the sort of sketchy, scheming curriculum vitae that launched the career of Rick Scott. I hope the people of Ohio will be more discerning than the people of Floriduh. Meanwhile, I wonder if the pharmaceutical industry could develop a drug to treat sociopathic and antisocial behavior--there certainly is a crying need for it.

Certainly a great presentation as to why oligarchs want deregulation!

Wouldn’t this be a perfect time for Ramaswamy to donate $1,228,000 to the California Teachers’ Retirement System fund?

And Ramaswamy sure knew where to go to tout his company. Doubt there were too many hard hitting questions coming from Jim Cramer.

As someone whose mother has been ravaged by Alzheimer’s, he should rot in hell along with his mother.

I'm sorry about your mom, Stephanie. Take care of you, hugs 🫂

I hope that this reporting will get a lot of press in Ohio. The GOP is now the Grift Old Party.

SCOTT BRIZARD's avatar

Yes, especially the fact that Teachers got screwed out of their retirement $ by his dishonest and disgraceful manipulation of ‘the system’!

I have said it many times before, Republicans know that fraud exists because they are so active in committing it.

“The basic reality of how Ramaswamy ran Axovant, Niven added, “was heads I win and tails I also win, in terms of the outcomes of the trials or whether the drugs actually proved useful or not.” —Come on Ohio, do you want this con as Governor— Buckeye up and vote him down…

Judd, thank you for digging into this.

The fact that on the other end from his cheating, lies and greed are Alzheimers people and their families hoping for help and teachers getting screwed yet again. Why isn’t Judds excellent work getting more traction? We read it and share it like crazy but tv news? Mostly Nada.

Come on Ohio, you really want this guy? IMO he is like a snake oil salesman! I hope the competition really gets this out there to their constituents!

Mary's avatar

No, we do NOT want this guy.

How many people in Ohio will ever hear, read or try to understand this? The big media companies won't report it, or will shorten it so much it becomes meaningless. The billionaires will back each other up. The Democrats won't figure out how to describe the fraud in a 30 second ad on TV, or online asking for donations. Great article, great reporting! I would never have known much about this supposed young business 'genius' if I hadn't read it.

The story is now being publicized by Amy Acton's campaign. Expect to hear a lot about it in Ohio. They picked up the story from Oligarch Watch.

Mary's avatar

Don't give up on Ohio, Janet! We've been paying attention and want this entire corrupt administration out for good. Vote early and encourage your friends and family to do the same!

Goes to show "Figures don't lie but liars figure". Incredible article but I got lost in details and don't understand many of the terms. Got to simplify to communicate to ordinary Ohioans the extraordinary fraud. "Pump and dump" usually easy to explain.
