I posted a message on reddit eleven months ago about Alchemy Synergy Group. If you don't know how Alchemy Synergy Group fits into the EEstor story, consider yourself lucky and just move on with your life. Just got a reply on reddit about the President of ASG, Jeffrey Fredenburgh. I quote:

"Found this thread in my general nosing around. I know Jeffrey Fredenburgh of Alchemy Synergy Group. He is not, nor was he ever, a world class polymer chemist. In fact, he has exactly zero university degrees or qualifications. He obtained a civil engineering diploma from a small college in Ontario and flunked out of university. I'm not sure who he is in cahoots with now, but he has a loooong, colourful history."
