Del Bigtree Exposed (PDF) (Update #4)

This PDF pointed out that in a form where the expiral date of the OMB approval was in 2018, Selz Capital was shown to hold about 5 million USD worth of Gilead stock (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1288125/000095012317006286/xslForm13F_X01/form13fInfoTable.xml). But in general Selz seems to be underinvested in pharmaceutical companies, and Gilead is missing from a newer list of holdings by Selz (https://fintel.io/i/selz-capital-llc).

The PDF says “Lisa Selz is the president of ICAN”. Lisa Selz was listed as the president in 2017 and 2018, but in 2019 the president was changed to Scott Guidry (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/814540235). There were only 32 hits on Google for "scott guidry" "bigtree", but one of them said that “Also with Bigtree was Dr. Scott Guidry who is a Board Certified General and Vascular Surgeon from Hattiesburg.”

T. Row Price seems like a company which primarily offers mutual funds to individual consumers: “T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. is an American publicly owned global investment management firm that offers funds, advisory services, account management, and retirement plans and services for individuals, institutions, and financial intermediaries.” So it wouldn’t really make sense for them to avoid pharmaceutical stocks in their mutual funds, many of which have generic themes like “Retirement Blend 2020 Fund” or “U.S. Large-Cap Core Fund” (https://www.troweprice.com/personal-investing/funds/mutual-funds/prospectuses-reports/portfolio-holdings.html). Also the donations to ICAN were given by their donor-advised fund, so I don’t know if it was just some of their individual consumers who decided to donate to ICAN: “Records for another non-profit called ‘T. Row Price Charitable’ show that it donated a total of $2,460,000 to ‘Informed Consent Action Network’ in 2019, and another $900,000 the year before.[114] The non-profit describes itself as a ‘donor-advised fund’ which receives contributions before individual donors who then recommend how those assets should be distributed to other charities or causes.[115]”

I don’t think the name Wolniak is Jewish, because on forebears.io, there were zero occurrences for the name in Israel (https://forebears.io/surnames/wolniak). About 80% of the incidences of the name were in Poland, but Polish Ashkenazi names are often more widespread throughout the Jewish diaspora.
