This seems like a success story for government science :
1. A shady dude and his business colleagues try to shoe-horn in a preconceived conclusion into a large RCT and co-opt the NIH brand for authenticity.
2. They have some initial success but once enrollment starts a variety of red-flags are raised and the whole thing is canned before any results are produced or large amounts of money spent.
3. Shady dues reputation is ruined, people are fired, and new safe guards are in place.
