At any rate, in March 2007, with Dendreon seemingly on the fast track to
FDA approval, most traders were rushing to buy the company�s shares. A
specific set of hedge funds, however, purchased large numbers of put
options in Dendreon. Without a subpoena, we cannot say for sure whether
the put options they bought were married to naked short sales, but
simply from their put activity it is clear that these hedge funds were
placing quite large bets against Dendreon, and they maintained these
positions even after the FDA advisory panel voted in favor of Provenge
on March 29.
To understand how completely anomalous these bets were, consider that in
the entire universe of 11,500 hedge funds, only ten held large numbers
(more than 150,000) of put options in Dendreon at the end of March 2007.
Two of those ten funds held relatively few (200,000 each) put options in
Dendreon and cashed out soon after the FDA advisory panel meeting. They
do not appear to have otherwise been major traders in Dendreon, so I
will not mention their names.

One of those ten hedge funds is Apollo Medical Fund Management, which is
managed by a man named Brandon Fradd. Fradd was once accused of burning
documents relevant to a civil court case. Fradd was also once the
limited partner of a criminal named Reed Slatkin, who was indicted for
orchestrating the third largest Ponzi scheme in history. But Slatkin
seems to have had minimal involvement in Apollo�s trading, and I have
yet to uncover any evidence proving that Apollo is tied to naked short
sellers or others in the network that this story intends to document.

What makes you think that a person who defrauds Scientologists is a
Scientologist?

L Rong Hubbard lived by hate ,, its all though his books, and
admonitions to destroy anyone
who criticized him.

sorry barbara that just how it is. On ARS we are focused on the
truth of this mess, and support
any scientologists right to think and speak as they wish, as long as
they dont send thugs after people
etc.

it is the criminal cult of scientology known now world wide for being
utterly and completely hateful...and that of course has ruined it from
within,

We can wonder why this fund was called "Apollo". Hubbard's reminiscence?

Roger, it appears this french aristocrat set up the fund that Fradd
worked at/controled: Rene Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet

http://www.deepcapture.com/michael-milken-60000-deaths-and-the-story-of-dendreon-chapter-3-of-15/

Madoff�s other key �feeders� have not yet been charged with wrong-doing.
Perhaps, they will never be charged. But it is interesting to note that
a number of them were close associates of a famous criminal and
�prominent philanthropist� named Michael Milken.

One of the most important Madoff �feeders� was Rene Thierry Magon de La
Villehuchet, a French aristocrat who worked on deals in the 1980s with
Drexel Burnham Lambert, which was the headquarters of Milken�s junk bond
and stock manipulation empire. During this time, Monsieur Rene Thierry
Magon de La Villehuchet came to know not just Milken, but also Leon
Black, who was the head of Drexel�s mergers and acquisitions department.

Most every account of those days suggests that Black was Milken�s
closest ally at Drexel. Black argued vehemently that Drexel should not
cooperate with Milken�s prosecutors and he defended Milken to the end.
Today, there are few people closer to Milken than Leon Black.

After Milken�s crimes bankrupted Drexel, Black joined forces with
Monsieur Rene Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet to launch an investment
fund called Apollo Management. As you will recall, a certain Apollo
Medical was one of the ten hedge funds that owned large numbers of put
options in Dendreon. I have not yet been able to determine whether
Apollo Management is affiliated with Apollo Medical. Neither Black nor
Apollo Medical manager Brandon Fradd returned my phone calls seeking
comment.
http://www.jannuzzo.com/pdf/News-2007-7-13-NLJ-blurb.pdf

But we do know that Monsieur Rene Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet
provided the initial capital to Leon Black�s Apollo Management. And in
its early years, the French aristocrat was Apollo�s biggest fundraiser.
Indeed, it is correct to say that in addition to being one of Madoff�s
most important �feeders,� Monsieur Rene Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet
was Milken crony Leon Black�s single most important business partner.

Unfortunately, in December 2008, soon after the Mafia-connected Madoff
turned himself in to the authorities, Monsieur Rene Thierry Magon de La
Villehuchet was found in his Madison Avenue office � dead.

They said it was a suicide.
