$265,000 number Clinton's Speech AdvaMed RTI Biologics Tutogen
A seemingly small but interesting lead of mine just turned out to be a whale of a catch. Hillary Clinton was paid 265,000 dollars by AdvaMed for a single speech. It turns out a member of AdvaMed is RTI Surgical which, while then known as RTI Biologics, illegally harvested dead bodies for bone marrow, organs, and tissue from the Ukraine to sell for a profit. Tutogen was their German division that was caught also using tissue stolen from dead corpses in the Ukraine. Many of the corpses they used also were riddled with diseases and negatively hurt the people who got transplants of their organic materials. It should be noted, Hillary took these peoples money after all this had already come out about them.
Haiti
RTI Biologics also donated allografts to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, probably to try to get some more illegal tissue from there.
BioFlorida PhRma Shkreli
But there is more! I have discovered a group that encompasses Tavistock, RTI Surgical and other shady groups. It is called BioFlorida. While it admittedly has a ton of members and many of the lower paying ones are probably honest businesses their premiere member list reads like a whose-who of pharma corruption. One is PhRma whose president Stephen Ubl used to work for AdvaMed. When PhRma went after Martin Shkreli the "bad boy" of pharma got pissed off. Apparently even he thought that he didn't hold a candle to the likes of BioFlorida members like PhRma and Amgen.

Do you guys remember that 17 year old that died in a gym mat and when they did the autopsy they found his organs missing and his body was stuffed with newspaper? http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/09/us/georgia-gym-mat-death/
This might be worth taking a second look at

My sister actually taught him the semester before he died, and teaches at Lowndes High. There is a lot of dis-info about what happened, and some innocent people have had their lives ripped apart because of the family of the boy. The organs were there for the first autopsy and organs are only viable immediately after death, so I don't think this case is related. The county pathologist might have them preserved or have a reason they didn't put them back in the body?? But I wouldn't take anything coming from the family as 100% truth... this whole time they have been trying to make it about race, and trying to profit off of the accident.
(Sorry to sound negative, but his family has really divided the town, and lost a lot of sympathy from most people).
