We're not going well for sir. How can
0:20
work to in the summer of two thousand
0:22
and twenty three? The. Man who
0:24
carried out the abduction and execution
0:26
of Gregory Davis had pleaded guilty
0:28
in a plot that law enforcement
0:30
said Sir Hot had masterminded. And.
0:33
The Biotech company Sarah helped found
0:35
a Nokia Bio Sciences The one
0:38
that prosecutors claim was part of
0:40
his motivation for the hit was
0:42
failing. The company, once valued at
0:45
over half a billion dollars, was
0:47
hemorrhaging money. they desperately needed to
0:49
make a change. That's when one
0:52
of the cofounders of a Nokia
0:54
in Renee Send Live and the
0:56
Ceo Mark Diebold begin a series
0:58
of conversations with the hell start
1:01
up that they believed could brighten
1:03
their prospects. The company
1:05
was called Jedi Cube and
1:07
it was valued at over
1:09
two hundred million dollars. Despite
1:11
the fact that it had
1:14
generated know revenue, the two
1:16
companies began the process of
1:18
merging and in August and
1:20
Nokia changed it's name to
1:22
Rent A Vara Bio Sciences.
1:24
The plan seem to work
1:26
immediately, their stock went up.
1:28
There was just one problem
1:30
sir. Had husband William Anderson
1:32
Wittekind decided. To throw a
1:34
massive wrench into the gears. In
1:37
January he found lawsuit filled
1:39
with explosive allegations about how
1:41
and know key and was operating
1:43
behind the scenes. If it
1:45
succeeds, it could take down
1:47
the board of directors, but it
1:50
also seems to threaten the
1:52
entire company. We're.

2:35
Wondery and Laura Beale, and this
2:37
is a special episode of Dr. Death's
2:39
Bad Magic. When
2:47
Sarah Hart's husband filed his lawsuit, one
2:50
of the people watching was Nate Anderson.
2:53
Nate and his team at Hindenburg
2:55
Research are responsible for the financial
2:57
fraud investigation that exposed Sarah Hart's
2:59
true origins. Today he's
3:01
going to talk us through the latest chapter
3:04
in the Enochian story, an
3:06
insider alleging insider trading,
3:08
boardroom backstabbing, and major
3:10
cover-ups. Nate, first off,
3:12
thanks for being here and talking with us
3:14
about this suit. Can you start
3:16
off by just briefly describing it for me?
3:19
Yeah, the lawsuit was
3:21
filed by Sir Hart's husband and
3:24
an entity that he has a
3:26
stake in that owns a
3:28
lot of shares of what once
3:31
was called Enochian biosciences. So it's
3:34
a lawsuit where they are accusing
3:37
the company of fraud, accusing the company
3:39
of failing to disclose key information to
3:41
investors, and demanding
3:43
that Renee Sinlev, the
3:46
chairman, Mark Dybul, the CEO,
3:48
and other insiders give money
3:50
back to the company that
3:52
the lawsuit alleges was unjustly
3:54
stolen, essentially. This
3:57
basically, to me, reads like a
4:00
spike. lawsuits. In my view,
4:02
it's 108 pages of Sir
4:05
Ha through his husband saying, you sued
4:07
me last year calling me a brazen
4:09
fraud. Like, why don't you guys take
4:11
a look at yourselves? It's just, I
4:14
looked at it and there's
4:16
just such irony. I mean,
4:19
he's accusing the other side
4:22
of fraud. I
4:24
just, when I first heard about this,
4:26
I was like, it's what? Yeah.
4:29
No, I mean- I mean, what was
4:31
your reaction? What was your reaction? I
4:33
think Sir Ha is sitting in prison
4:35
waiting for his trial for
4:38
wire fraud now and the
4:40
murder conspiracy. And I
4:42
think he, he was probably
4:45
pretty pissed that the company sued
4:47
him and essentially tried to blame everything on him.
4:49
So I think he's just trying to say,
4:52
no, you guys are also scumbags
4:54
and a lot of this is
4:56
your fault and you're there and
4:58
you're involved. And here's a bunch
5:00
of evidence showing how you guys
5:03
were enriching yourselves at the expense
5:05
of shareholders and sort of harnessing
5:07
lives and his own claims
5:10
to make money for themselves. Do
5:12
you think the company itself is
5:14
endangered by the suit? I
5:17
think the company is endangered by
5:19
the prospect that the major
5:22
merger announcement is in all
5:24
likelihood completely worthless, that they
5:26
have virtually nothing left.
5:29
So I think the company is in danger.
5:32
The lawsuit, I think helps bring that closer
5:35
to fruition, but I think that's likely an
5:37
inevitability at this point. So if they
5:39
still own a big
5:41
share of the stock, why
5:44
would they do something that would
5:47
hurt the company? Because if the
5:49
stock goes up, then
5:52
presumably they make
5:54
money. So I'm confused by
5:57
this. Can you explain it to me? Yeah, I think
5:59
part of it. is an
6:01
allegation that the insiders were
6:04
buying shares at a massive
6:06
discount ahead of major
6:09
news that they knew was going to send
6:11
the stock up. So there's one
6:14
example where Rene Sinlev, the chairman
6:16
of the company, bought
6:18
stock just days before
6:21
the company announced a major
6:23
merger transaction with an AI
6:25
company. And that transaction
6:27
announcement sent the stock up over
6:29
1000% over the course of months
6:31
from its low prices. So with
6:35
the chairman buying shares immediately
6:37
prior to the transaction with clear
6:39
knowledge that was going to be
6:41
announced, the allegation is that he
6:43
basically enriched himself at
6:45
the company's expense using this material
6:49
non-public information that he had.
6:52
That's a pretty serious allegation. But wouldn't
6:54
Sarah Hutt and his husband have
6:56
also made money off the stock?
6:58
Like if the whole company implodes,
7:00
then nobody wins, right? That's right.
7:03
Yeah. So I do think to an
7:05
extent this is probably
7:08
cutting his nose off to spite his face.
7:10
So you mentioned Mark
7:12
Dibel and his name comes up over
7:14
and over again in the suit. We
7:17
covered this some in the podcast, but at first,
7:19
at first he's a big defender of Sarah Hutt,
7:21
and then it ends up they're suing each other.
7:23
Can you kind of walk
7:26
me through just briefly
7:29
the arc of their relationship?
7:32
Yeah. So at first, Mark
7:34
Dibel and the company for that matter
7:36
had just lavish praise on Sarah Hutt
7:38
that he was going to revolutionize medicine,
7:41
that he was the Michelangelo of biotech
7:43
and things of that sort. So
7:45
for years had just been lavishing
7:47
this praise on him. But then
7:50
when everything came crumbling down, I think
7:53
they chose to try and pin
7:56
the blame on Sarah. Sarah is
7:58
in jail. And I
8:00
think the lawsuit that they
8:02
filed, this was in October 2022, seemed
8:04
like an effort to
8:09
allege that Serhat was the brazen fraud, that
8:11
he had faked all the data, that he
8:13
was responsible for all these terrible things that
8:16
had happened. It doesn't seem unreasonable knowing
8:18
what we know now. No,
8:20
I think it's probably the case. I think
8:22
Serhat is indeed a brazen fraud. But
8:25
that doesn't mean Mark Dibel and Renee
8:27
Sinlev aren't. In a lot
8:30
of white collar cases,
8:32
the defense for
8:35
everyone else who's not the key
8:37
individual is almost always the play
8:39
dumb defense. We
8:42
didn't know the data was all fake.
8:44
We didn't know our key shareholder and
8:46
co-founder was a psycho murder magician out
8:48
there casting spells or whatever and
8:51
giving quack remedies to terminal
8:53
cancer patients. I genuinely don't
8:55
know what the justification they landed on for all
8:57
this was. But I think the
9:00
game is they are pretending
9:02
more or less to be stone cold morons
9:05
about everything that just had no idea what
9:07
was going on. And
9:10
I think Serhat recognized that through the
9:12
lawsuit. It's like, okay, these guys
9:14
are trying to pin it all on me. And
9:18
it wasn't all on me, either alleging
9:21
that they knew or that they
9:23
themselves were engaged in some
9:25
sketchy practices that resulted
9:27
in where the company is today. So
9:29
it centers around the acquisition of
9:32
this company. Can
9:34
you just briefly walk
9:36
me through how
9:39
they acquired that company and what
9:41
the lawsuit is saying about the
9:43
problems in the acquisition of the
9:45
company? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. All
9:48
right. Let me give it a shot at least.
9:51
Thanks. Around
9:53
mid-2023, enoki in
9:56
biosciences was in pretty dire straits,
9:58
almost out of cash. had
10:00
a world of liabilities. It was
10:03
really close to being just an
10:05
insolvent shell with tons of legal
10:07
liabilities through the revelations
10:09
around Serhat, the faking of
10:11
the scientific data, and
10:13
a lot of just misstatements and things along
10:16
the way. So company
10:18
was in pretty
10:21
dark times. And
10:23
around middle of 2023, the chairman, Rene Sinlev, began
10:29
talks to merge with a
10:31
company called Jedi
10:33
Cube or Getty Cube, or whatever,
10:35
however it's pronounced. And the company,
10:38
from what we can tell, didn't
10:40
actually exist until it was formed
10:42
in June. And all
10:45
they had around that time was
10:47
an agreement to
10:51
merge or acquire with a tiny
10:53
little startup that had
10:55
what they claimed to be some AI technology.
10:58
And from what we can tell, that tiny
11:01
little startup itself was almost insolvent. So
11:03
it didn't seem like it was a match made in heaven, but
11:06
this Jedi Cube acquired
11:09
this small startup. And
11:12
then the deal was for Jedi
11:14
Cube to merge with Enochian and
11:17
rebrand and renew itself as
11:20
a totally new AI
11:22
med tech, like, hot
11:24
company. And that is exactly
11:26
what happened. The stock went up, changed its
11:28
name to Renovaro
11:31
Biosciences, a bunch
11:33
of people bought it. Anything that can
11:35
hype up this new pivot
11:37
to AI and get investors excited, I
11:39
think, is what they were gravitating to.
11:43
And I know you're not an attorney, but you
11:45
spend a lot of time looking up
11:47
dirt on companies. I'd like your kind
11:50
of general impression about whether
11:52
this seems like a strong case or
11:54
not. As much as I feel
11:57
weird agreeing with Serhat on something, I
11:59
think the... Evidence here seems quite
12:01
strong and well documented. I think
12:03
there's quite a bit here. So.
12:06
Are you gonna keep on? I'm curious. Are you
12:08
done? Are you gonna keep on? Pop.
12:10
And popcorn And following mansour, Are you

happens with. Marked. I ball

and run a sin though like to
12:32
individuals that despite everything who have come
12:34
out thus far relatively unscathed and have
12:37
slapped a new name on what they're
12:39
doing and tried to do it all
12:41
over again in in not much more
12:44
convincing fashion than last time they tried
12:46
this. I think that's a good place
12:48
to and thanks made it was is nice. And
12:50
tacky. And you through any I presented

or wherever you get your podcasts. After
16:30
Hindenburg Research exposed that Enochian scientific
16:33
founder had faked all of his
16:35
credentials, the company stood
16:37
by the science. But in
16:39
2022, they dialed that back. Five
16:43
months after Serhat's arrest, they admitted
16:45
that he had actually faked some
16:47
of the scientific data in his
16:50
papers. Elizabeth Bick is a scientific
16:52
fraud researcher, and she was
16:54
one of the earliest people to notice
16:56
the inconsistencies in Serhat's research. She's
16:59
here to talk about how those papers got published in
17:01
the first place, and how
17:03
scientific fraud can slip under the
17:05
radar. Thank
17:09
you, Elizabeth, for talking with me. I have
17:11
to say I'm a fan. I'm very familiar
17:13
with the work that you do, so I'm really
17:15
happy to talk to you. When I
17:18
first started out in science writing, I was
17:20
a little more naive. I
17:23
had this view of the peer
17:25
review system as being the
17:28
fail safe against any of this happening. That,
17:31
of course, when scientific papers
17:33
are read by other
17:35
people in the field, their
17:38
job is to make sure that
17:40
the science is sound and keep
17:42
this kind of thing from happening.
17:46
What's the reality of that? It's
17:50
a tough question to answer because some of
17:52
the things I'm finding, you
17:54
wish that a peer reviewer would
17:56
have seen that, Because sometimes
17:58
it's so obvious. Such
18:00
as the photo shopping is so
18:02
euro obvious that somebody should have
18:04
caught that. but. The truth
18:07
is that peer reviewers are. well, it's
18:09
a volunteer. Job mode you know people
18:11
be reviewing are typically will do this
18:13
on a. Friday. Evening of
18:15
and when the rest of the family
18:17
is doing some fun something fonder Sell
18:19
beer. And so scientists
18:22
are. Doing. This on paid
18:24
as a volunteer job and they're not really.
18:27
Educated on catching frogs. That's not really
18:29
the purpose of peer review. it is
18:32
is is the sounds good? And
18:34
if you. Assume that data is
18:36
real. If you just trust that blindly, then
18:39
that is a very different way of looking
18:41
at data. Then if you put a different
18:43
hats on and thing. Could this be
18:45
fraud? And so sad is how I
18:47
approach some of the papers. So similarity
18:50
I feel that the fraud the section.
18:52
That. The loot is looking for specific
18:54
problems with paper should be done. By.
18:57
Paid persons who work at
18:59
publisher's or journals. Yeah, and
19:01
speaking about the larger scientific
19:03
community, I don't want anyone
19:06
hearing this to think that
19:08
this is a rampant that.
19:10
Most. Says scientific research out there
19:13
is sake are frauds so can
19:15
you can be some context in
19:17
terms of them: Percentage of papers
19:19
that you review that actually do
19:21
have problems. So. I did
19:23
a scan of twenty thousand papers and
19:25
as sounds at around two percent. Of
19:27
those papers, Had a really
19:30
big problem separate. Not the result
19:32
of a an honest error buffer to
19:34
result of an intention to mislead. And
19:36
so that's two percent. And those were.
19:39
Obvious. Problems By looking at the paper said
19:41
a real percentage of fraud has to be
19:43
a bit higher, but I would estimate of
19:45
maybe in the five percent range. So.
19:48
What's the answer? then? Soon.
19:51
Keeping. The. Fraudsters
19:53
out of science? Do we
19:56
need? More
19:58
scientists turn. Detective like
20:00
you are. Is there some better
20:02
system? I'm I'm intrigued by your
20:04
idea of having a whole fraud
20:06
department at At at at Journal.
20:08
That I it again. I don't
20:10
know if that's feasible, but. If.
20:13
You had a magic wand. How would you fix
20:15
this? Oh. I knew
20:17
we would hope to have. More
20:20
consequences for people who are caught
20:22
doing frauds. But the problem is
20:24
now. We also have these professional
20:26
scammers of which we call paper
20:28
mills which are networks of people
20:30
making money selling completely fake papers
20:32
to authors who need to publish
20:34
a paper. and you can find
20:36
these advertisements. Very openly
20:39
for example, on Facebook groups and
20:41
there's old networks of people. That.
20:43
Were they advertised? Do you need and
20:45
authorship on a paper and give us
20:47
some money? I do a paper and
20:49
there's hundreds and hundreds of advertisements. probably
20:51
even thousands on how many Doesn't cause
20:53
if I'm death and I got a
20:55
palace a paper assists and I might
20:57
have a held to sit out for
20:59
a seat. Scientific. Safer. Well, do you
21:02
want to be a first author? Second
21:04
author? A third author? Because I know
21:06
first. Also, they are two years after
21:08
terrorists, their peers. Yes, I did. Plan
21:10
like I've seen: Five thousand dollars or
21:12
holsters you five hundred. I guess it
21:14
depends on the quality of the paper.
21:16
But a couple of hundred to a
21:18
couple of thousand dollars? Yes, But.
21:21
Even then, this paper has to
21:23
get past peer review. Yeah, But
21:25
it gets like stay. In.
21:27
These paper mill seem to target. Specific
21:29
journals and again, this is very
21:31
similar to a credit card fraud.
21:33
Whether first try one dollar. Oh.
21:35
Okay, dad works ok. let's now do
21:38
a bigger amounts and and. So.
21:40
They try first one paper and
21:42
if that gets accepted then they
21:44
will target that specific journal. And
21:46
send in more and. It. Seems
21:49
that some journals or even in the
21:51
loop and are willing to accept these
21:53
papers. So it's low quality journals that
21:55
accept this in general. And
21:57
they will. Look. The
21:59
other way maybe even gets kickbacks from
22:01
the paper mills where the adults are
22:04
my get some money if they accept
22:06
the papers. Wow! So I
22:08
went to move to that particular
22:10
situation that's we talked about in
22:12
this particular season of Dr. Death.
22:14
I don't think Sarah like went
22:17
out and bought a paper but
22:19
if you could I would like
22:21
to talk about the fraud and
22:23
the retraction of papers In this
22:25
particular instance, this is not the
22:27
first that you'd heard about and
22:30
Nokia and sir how to tell
22:32
me how you first heard about
22:34
this particular situation. I think I
22:36
was. Contacted by. Journalists asking me
22:38
if I heard the story about the founder
22:41
and they ask me if I had heard
22:43
about it and if I could look into
22:45
their papers. And so there's
22:47
to posers. By an opium, By a
22:49
sciences. Scientific. Post is present
22:51
at the two different conferences. and these
22:54
posters or something like signs poses at
22:56
a at a high school science fair
22:58
and they're about to different topics in
23:00
one. They use. Their. Magic
23:02
technique to cure mice have hepatitis
23:05
B in sections and in the
23:07
second posts a day. Use.
23:10
Their A Magic Techniques to cure
23:12
mice of Covert Nineteen and Section
23:14
and so these are very different
23:16
experiments and yet one of the
23:18
mouse is exactly the same photo
23:20
on both posters. And. So
23:22
does not a problem. In some
23:24
of the papers that's a Sarah
23:26
has published, he doesn't disclose. His
23:28
conflicts of interest so. As a
23:30
scientist sleigh ride a scientific paper. And
23:33
your funded by a particular.
23:36
Interest. Group. Or maybe you work
23:38
for a company? There's a financial.
23:41
Advantage set you my time of publishing.
23:44
He. Works and he has found it in knock
23:46
him by his sciences. And
23:48
there's another. Co. Author who works
23:50
at the U C L A who
23:52
also is listed and both of them
23:54
sauce patterns that are very relevant to
23:57
the topic of these papers but they
23:59
don't disclose. Them. And so he.
24:01
Either forgot to include that statements which
24:03
is very unlikely because the journal the
24:06
asked you what is your conflict of
24:08
statement and he actually sat know there's
24:10
no conflict of interest and that seems
24:12
to be earned. Not completely true. Yeah,
24:15
you'd think that would be something
24:17
he wouldn't forget. Do you have
24:19
any thoughts about the actual. Sure,
24:22
Strategies that he talks about. A
24:24
So does not a problem in some
24:26
of the papers in which he describes
24:28
this. Sarah P. To. To. Treat
24:31
patients who have some viral infection.
24:33
With another virus and a since it's
24:35
distract. The immune system. so.
24:38
In. This this paper day described. As
24:40
techniques and he described to this and
24:43
patients who were magically court pure. it's
24:45
with this Super Infection strategy. So what
24:47
is a Covert nineteen patients who was
24:50
treated with this Super Infection. Six.
24:52
Days after. Their covert
24:54
nineteen patients as symptoms started
24:57
and then. Of his a
24:59
huge he got better but I don't know
25:01
I had cove it's wise accident and. You.
25:04
Know most of the times you recover
25:06
if you are generally healthy you will
25:08
recover within a week. So he started
25:10
on day six and he got better.
25:12
Well you know he could have used
25:14
chocolate pudding and he would have gotten
25:16
better Like that is. that seems to
25:18
be not a very convincing evidence that
25:20
this strategy of the super insects and
25:22
works. Test. Wealth and
25:25
based on what you saw
25:27
a d since he just
25:29
made some mistakes and sciences
25:31
real. Or do you think
25:33
the whole thing is just
25:35
made up. I'm. Not sure
25:37
if the signs of he knocks. Him by the sign
25:39
says is real or not based on what
25:41
I see of lack of. Disclosure.
25:44
Of conflicts of interest of reuse
25:46
image of a mouse Some other
25:48
posters of that appear to have
25:50
reduced images that have passed on
25:53
for different experiments. I'm very
25:55
skeptical, but I think a lot of
25:57
people want to believe in some magic
25:59
cure for. For all kinds of
26:01
diseases and why do you think that
26:03
is? If you have a
26:05
patient who has some severe disease.
26:07
Maybe can sars severe infection? They will
26:10
try whatever is offered to damn in
26:12
the hopes it will cure them and
26:14
we all would be if we were
26:16
in that situation. You just grab any
26:18
chance of people offer to you because
26:20
as humans we wanna believe in the
26:22
success stories and. And that is
26:25
the reason why a lot of people are. Perhaps.
26:27
Charming will have the rides.
26:30
Attitude to convince other people they can pull
26:32
that off. Yeah, that's kind
26:35
of a universal quality to the
26:37
doctors that we've covered in this
26:39
series and and even other doctors
26:41
I've written about who who take
26:43
advantage of people and. They.
26:45
Seem to have a lot of bedside
26:48
manner and charm and sadly and so
26:50
many cases the patience are facing death
26:52
or serious health consequences and then his
26:55
men step in with promises to save
26:57
them. And is also
26:59
such an easy. Choice in
27:01
a way to do experiments on people
27:03
who are going to die anyways because
27:06
if the treatment and worked. And gonna
27:08
complain. Rides. And well
27:10
I just wanna thank you for.
27:12
The work that you do to try
27:15
to. Hold to account people
27:17
who take advantage of the system and I
27:19
also want to thank you for spending time
