The Apotex - Teva Connection

Here is an interesting coincidence:

(1) Generic drug maker Teva is in the midst of "massive" layoffs:

(2) The founder of rival generic drug maker Apotex and his wife were found dead under "suspicious" circumstances:

(3) Teva has been suing Apotex over the alleged theft of trade secrets:

Is there a motive for murder or suicide in there somewhere? I would not be surprised.

By the way, take note the above report labeled (2) mentions a family squabble over money, but not the Teva-Apotex lawsuit. Why is that?

  1. Well, well, well ... it WAS murder after all. Note how the MSM still is not suggesting a Teva connection:

  2. It looks like Teva is taking a BIG hit:

    What part of this (if any) was caused by Apotex ???

  3. Hmmm ... maybe I should ask for part of the reward:
