a pharmaceutical companies best interest to find out the different ways that aids can be cured. By having that knowledge Cure Corp. can then ensure that the scientists and researchers that it has hired is kept from discovering that cure.

That may sound counter intuitive, or not make any sense, so I will attempt to explain further. First a question. "That's ridiculus! How can a pharmaceutical company discover the cure for aids and nobody outside the company, except for a select few, knows about it." And to answer this I will site the case of Jeffrey Wigand. ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J effrey_Wigand ) Jeffrey Wigand was a scientist working for a big tobacco company Brown & Williamson, and was whistle blower to the on goings inside that company.

We are simply going to suppose that is is true for the sake of argument.

If you were the president an CEO of a pharmaceutical company and you had share holders to appease, what could you do to increase your profits and intern your share holders stock values. Well, you could direct the scientists and researchers in your company towards producing three kinds of drugs for treating aids.
