The financial advisors are incentivized to rubber-stamp any deal. They don't get paid a fee for their services otherwise. The ELT and their subordinates should know better.
The worst aspect of this investment is that we don't have a way out if it doesn't pan out. They have overleveraged the company and bet the entire farm on this product. At least with the bad dealmaking of the past years we had profits coming in from other products that could compensate for the malinvestment. We are now sitting on knife's edge with Revlimid cash flows disappearing, and Eliquis and Opdivo soon to be gone in a couple years. There is no way out now. What a stupid, stupid investment that will put tens of thousands of jobs at risk.
