Five Questions Vivek Ramaswamy Must Answer After Reporting Exposed Likely "Pump and Dump" Scam

August 13, 2026

Columbus, Ohio- Yesterday, reporting from Oligarch Watch exposed how Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to "manipulate" failed clinical trial data as part of a likely "pump and dump" scheme.

Ramaswamy served as the "frontman" for a "dubious pharmaceutical company" and then "cashed out weeks before its dramatic crash." He hired his own mother to manipulate the data and make an Alzheimer's drug look promising despite a lack of clinical experience.

This new reporting raises serious questions that Vivek Ramaswamy must answer.

1. Why did you promote a drug that repeatedly failed clinical trials?

1. Why did you hire your mother to oversee clinical trial data manipulation when she had no prior experience as a clinical researcher?

1. Will you apologize to people suffering from Alzheimer's and their families?

1. If you can't even stop yourself from cheating your own investors, why should working families trust you won't cheat them too?

1. How can you expect Ohioans to vote for you knowing you're a scam artist who was deeply involved in an apparent "pump and dump" scheme?
