It wasn't like the "Biotech" scams from Rorschach's past life, which followed the classic playbook of hyping up stocks, cashing out, and vanishing. Those were a bunch of absolute sleazebags. The big shots who endorsed them would make a killing before immediately retreating back into the ivory towers of academia to enjoy a quiet, wealthy life.
