And between the two, I'd pick Mobi over ETF, if for no other reason he's never stopped working in that field, and still has access to a laboratory. Like anything, even though he outshines pretty much anybody else here, ETF has got to be a bit rusty. And when you're talking about creating fentanyl, even the slightest error can be deadly. It's all a moot point, I doubt either one of them has a line of people at their back door copping their own brand of coke or fent. Mike
