0:51
from Dr. Death Bad Magic. Follow
0:53
Dr. Death Bad Magic on the
0:56
wintery app or wherever you get
0:58
your podcast. It
1:11
was laying on of freezing Saturday
1:13
night and northern Vermont. Greg Davis
1:16
was in his bedroom with his
1:18
wife Melissa when they heard someone
1:20
outside. Greg
1:28
open the door and saw a
1:30
standing there wearing a jacket and
1:32
mask but the emblem of the
1:34
Us Marshal. He was holding a
1:36
rifle. Behind him
1:38
in the driveway with a white
1:40
Ford Explorer with emergency lights flashing
1:43
and it's-the marshall said he had
1:45
a warrant for Greg, the rest
1:47
on racketeering charges had been instructed
1:49
to take him into custody and
1:52
transport him to Virginia. Greg
1:55
couldn't have known what this was all about.
1:57
He. was working and waste management has
1:59
friends and family knew him as a
2:02
father of six, a businessman and a
2:04
devout Christian. He
2:06
went to his bedroom and told his pregnant
2:08
wife what was happening, then packed
2:11
a bag of clothes and walked out. Davis'
2:17
12-year-old son watched from the upstairs
2:19
window as a car pulled away.
2:24
It was the last time he saw his
2:26
father alive. The
2:32
next afternoon, a car made its way
2:35
along a quiet stretch of Peachham Road,
2:37
about 15 miles from Greg
2:39
Davis' farmhouse. It
2:42
was another brutally cold day,
2:44
barely cracking 10 degrees. Just
2:48
off the side of the road, the driver
2:50
saw something out of place. It
2:53
was a shape shutting out of the snow
2:55
bank. There
2:58
on the ground, partially covered by
3:00
snow, was a man's body. His
3:03
wrists were shackled, 22 caliber bullet
3:05
wounds in his head and torso,
3:07
with bullet casings speckling the snow
3:09
bank. Greg
3:11
Davis was dead. How
3:16
had all this happened? Prosecutors
3:18
would later claim it all traced back
3:20
to a man whose life had long
3:22
been cloaked in mystery and
3:25
who was nowhere near Vermont that night. Well,
3:29
good afternoon, everyone. It is truly
3:32
my great pleasure to welcome an
3:34
Okean biosciences. Less than
3:36
a year after Greg Davis' body
3:38
was found in the Vermont snow,
3:40
the CEO of an emerging biotech
3:43
company stood at a sleek white
3:45
lectern in Times Square. The very
3:47
first time I met Ronnessi our chairman, he
3:49
told me we'll be a NASDAQ listed company.
3:53
An Okean bioscience is now traded
3:55
alongside tech giants like Apple and
3:58
Microsoft, but the CEO Wasn't
4:00
taking the credit. The success of
4:02
the company was largely thanks to
4:04
a man who was standing just
4:07
off stage. The man with the
4:09
ideas that drove and okay and
4:11
by of sciences to it's six
4:13
hundred million dollar valuation. The man
4:15
was sort dyed blonde hair stubble
4:17
and an impish smile. The
4:20
very first time I met through google
4:22
goog a will side to the colder
4:24
he told me will be the company
4:27
that would put an end to it
4:29
radiates. At
4:37
just thirty six years old, Dr.
4:39
Sarah was leading a mission to
4:41
and Hiv. Aids forever. He
4:43
was also working on chores for cancer,
4:46
hepatitis B, and a host of other
4:48
disease. His piece saw
4:50
him as america. Have.
4:53
Compared him to Leonardo da Vinci,
4:55
Nikola Tesla, and Einstein in one
4:57
and the same person. But
5:00
in a few years he wouldn't. Be
5:02
known from World Changing Three. He
5:05
would. Be known as a fruit. And
5:09
have recently. Been.
