The post further claims key commercial assets HCW11-006 (in vivo) and alopecia drug HCW9302 were transferred to Beijing Trimmune Biotech for a pittance, structurally shielded from US bankruptcy under Section 9.2.2 of Exhibit 10.40, leaving public shareholders to absorb 100% of operating losses against a $108.5M accumulated deficit and going-concern warning. It also alleges an admitted material weakness in internal controls artificially overstated EPS by $0.80 to $2.19, used to justify cheap private placements at $2.585, and that a Special Reserve of 2,500,000 shares (111.7% of outstanding) with insider option tranches at $5/$10/$20/$40 will pass on October 27 because insiders and affiliated hedge funds control over 60% of voting power.
