Nemeroff Buys $1.9 Million Miami House

Via Pharmalot, news is out that controversial, pharma-whoring psychiatrist Charles Nemeroff has purchased a $1.9 million house in Miami. It's over 5,000 square feet, which is to say it's of Nemeroffian proportions. Nemeroff recently quit his post at Emory University for one at the University of Miami after disclosures of all manner of conflicts of interest and tons of pharma consulting monies and after he became the object of a Senate investigation for not disclosing said monies while receiving federal research dollars. My Nemeroff back catalog is here.

When you consider how tight the housing credit market is and just how large a purchase Nemeroff made, then you know he must have a ton of other assets or he'd never get such a gigantic mortgage. Unless he paid cash.

Ah! Miami... Funny because Brazilians who want to laundry money do it in Miami.
We have an... well that's another story.
Maaan! The most silly Brazilians go to Miami.

I hope Nemeroff have one of them as neighbor.
I bet he would not be in peace and I hope this Brazilian doesn't speak good English and uses Nemeroff as a someone to practice his the language.
He is at the University of Miami! This is very serious. He should not be working anymore... blah blah blah

Man bites dog, meet man buys house. This crosses the line from the usual repurposing of news, to just plain silly. Will you be letting us know when he buys a new car, too? Maybe what color he paints his living room?

Isn't there something in Florida law which prohibits your primary residence from having a lien put against it in a lawsuit, a la O.J. Simpson?

Yeah it's the homestead act, it is one of the states that you can lose it all but the roof over your head. The guy owns the invention patent of the Lithium transport skin patch, he's not going to be worse for the wear for cash or income, maybe he will hook up with Geoff Birkett from AZ and Archer pharmaceuticals and make another boatload of money on the back of innocent victims, just my .02 cents.
