$3 or $4K annually as a cost to end users/payers....But how much of that would be profit at that price point?  

If DM has a big price tag on Apabetalone, and I'm just spitballing the $5 billion figure....but to give it some context, if RVX-208 generated $50 in profit per year per patient, then with 100 million patients they'd make their money back in 1 year.  Of course sales to 100 million patients in year one is probably far too optimistic.  Maybe if BETonMACE succeeds...then maybe in year one they get 10 million patients...I'm just guessing though....

I think my point is clear....and its totally moot in any case.  If DM has BP players knocking on his door, which he claimed in an April 2015 article put out by Bloomberg...if they are knocking, we don't know what his price is, or if BP is making any offers, or if they are for how much....

I've gone too far down the rabbit hole of ifs....and its my fault because I started it.

As Emily Lutella used to say on SNL back in the 70's...."Never mind".  I won't use the word she'd say after that, its not allowed here.
