Peter Schultz and team has been working on this problem for more than a decade. His company Ambrx was founded 10 years ago. They've done ok with fundraising, but I'm not sure he raised 'a hell of a lot of money'. Sure the science seems promising, but it has been, and will be slow. I'd expect it to be more complicated than swapping out a couple amino acids and people grow 4 feet and are otherwise healthy. That and I'm pretty sure they are focused on things other needs than making mid-life billionaires and dictators 4 feet taller.
