Marc Cohodes Exposes MiMedx Fraud: Part Two

So for the FBI to get a call, field call out of Atlanta, to then mobilize San Francisco. To then pay someone a
visit at their house without warning, without being the subject of an investigation, or have a warrant, it's
pretty over the top. It's pretty unprecedented. So Shapiro, my lawyer, and I probably figured that Parker
Petit, through either Isakson, former disgraced HHS secretary, Tom Price, and/or others forced this issue.
GRANT WILLIAMS: Now, what was it that made you think it wasMARC COHODES: Because there's no way given the so-called tweets they were talking about, that the
FBI would ever pay a visit. Or they'd call my lawyer, or they'd call me, and say, we've got some questions,
blah, blah, blah. There's no way they would. It's way out of protocol. And a close friend of mine, a fellow
who used to work with me, was a DEA agent, and he's an agent of the US government. He says it's
completely out of order for that to happen. And if anyone wanted to pay you a visit, they'd simply knock
on your door, or say, we'd like to talk to you. If you'd say, I don't want to talk to you, they'd leave. They'd
give their card and leave, not the subject of anything.
And the crazy thing is I called the SEC guys. I knew something was weird because the SEC investigation on
MiMedx has always been out at Denver, not Atlanta. So I called the SEC, and my lawyer called the SEC
out at Denver, and explained what went on. And the SEC guys were pissed. I think he said, why in the
world would the FBI be paying a home visit to a witness in a security fraud case.
GRANT WILLIAMS: Well, let's rewind a bit here, because at this point, the MiMedx SEC investigation,
how did that start? When did you become aware of it?
MARC COHODES: Back when I first started just doing some work on this, I sent some stuff, because these
MiMedx formers were all over me with stuff. When I got Pete to back down on some of the things he said
about me, people were into me with all sorts of channel stuffing allegations, and proof of fraud, and all
sorts of illegal activity. So I sent it in to I think, Aaron Lipson out at Atlanta, who is an SEC guy, who has
since left and gone to work for King & Spalding. And he sent it to Denver, and SEC attorney in Denver, Ty
Cottrell contacted me with it. And got the ball rolling there.
GRANT WILLIAMS: But that's interesting that they would send it out at Atlanta, because that to me, says
that there's way too much influence.
MARC COHODES: Right. Again, it's the Isakson-Tom Price. There must be influence even in that office.
And I can get into further detail of that later. So the MiMedx investigation is out at Denver. It always has
been out at Denver, not out at Atlanta. And when I let them know that the FBI went by my house to tell me
to quit tweeting, they said that was very abnormal. He said he'd never heard of anything like that.
So we start putting the pieces together, and say, Jesus, investigation out at Denver, not Atlanta. FBI call out
at Atlanta into San Francisco to tell me to quit tweeting, or there'll be consequences. I mean, I'm thinking
that I went tuna fishing and I've hooked a whale here. And simultaneously, MiMedx is suing Viceroy, Fraser
Perring, Capital Forum, and others.
