MS Speaks

This is old news but may have some relevance to the US national news just now--from the National MS Society Website:

From the Washington Post (August 8, 2016) there is the news that Representative Chris Collins (Rep., NY) is under indictment for insider training. It seems he was a stockholder in Innate Immunotherapeutics, which was developing a new drug for secondary progressive MS. He had knowledge about the failure of the clinical trial and passed that information along to relatives, advising them to dump their stock, before this was public knowledge.  Although the drug hasn't been named, my guess is that it was MIS 416.
