For people who wont read further than this article (which covers the topic in a pretty shallow manner), his new company is Druglike which offers computational power to aid companies or individuals in early stage drug discovery. It’s a Web3.0 project that uses the computing power of individuals and their hardware in exchange for crypto and this solution is meant to be a cheaper alternative for researchers and companies than traditional in silico solutions which tend to be quite expensive.
Is it a drug company? First, IANAL. My view which is worth as much as my fictional law degree is that one could argue yes but in my opinion, it seems much more like a tech company operating in the drug space. It still fits the FTCs contempt of court argument since it intersects with the pharmaceutical space, but it’s not as neat of an argument as one might assume and I could see a counter argument that the FTC’s ban is too broad.

He did an AMA a while back, he’s a proper sociopath. Hopefully the court smacks him down again. He won’t learn but apparently neither will investors.
