He pulled the same trick with Thiona, Chenodal, Vecamyl and probably more -- it was on the record as his own company Turing's strategy after all.

As noted, this was all legal and I agree that he was railroaded to jail for essentially completely unrelated wrongdoings, but there's no universe where he's not a scumbag.

This is a very odd characterization! Looking at Turing's 2014 10-K, I see this as a listed strategy:

I also see several preclinical programs and product candidates. You must have missed those. Odd case, very strange.
