Greenwood was scammed. Somebody didn't do due diligence in checking out the claims of this company. The manufacturing of insulin can't be done on the cheap. If it could be done, some big generic company would already have it on the market. The founder was either a scammer or a wild-eyed dreamer who made people believe that his Lilly experience was what they needed to make millions of dollars. Greenwood fell for a get-rich-quick scheme but smarter investors didn't make the same mistake.
