Analysis · PTPI · Life Sciences
Petros Pharmaceuticals, a company facing substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, has granted 7 million restricted shares to its Chairman, President/CCO, and two directors. This represents a significant transfer of ownership to insiders, equivalent to a substantial portion of the company's current market value.
