It's a really weird story, for sure. I first heard about it from a fellow scientist in kind of an off hand "Hey, did you hear about this place that shut down, but some scientist kept running their experiments out of a warehouse?" way. I didn't really even read the articles until it kept coming up.

I read today in an article that it was linked to a Las Vegas "office" so I looked up the Nevada listing for the company and found this:

Seems to be a two person operation running it in Zhaolin Wang and Xiuqin Yao. In 2019 paperwork they're both listed as President, Director, Treasurer, Secretary and Other, so I doubt the paperwork was filed properly.

What I found most interesting was that while Xiuqin Yao didn't come up with any other company hits, the name Zhaolin Wang was connected to multiple companies going back to 2007 and multiple of them seem to be the same type of company.

His LinkedIn says he graduated from Harvard, is a "Medicinal Chemist" and he does appear to have published while at Harvard in 2000:

I throw all this out there because I've read a few pretty far out there theories, almost all of which involve him sneaking into the country from China(I'll let you use your imagination from there), which doesn't appear to be the case at all.

All that said, let's not normalize running a bio lab out of a sketchy, unlicensed warehouse, even if you're from Harvard!
