IV. History
The first time I was told about methyltrienolone was when I was in my early 20’s. I was living in the Dallas area and was in the process of selling a company to a large pharmaceutical company. I was working at a local bank and had just gotten a phone call from a buyer that wanted to purchase the company. I had been on the phone with him for about an hour and a half and we had a deal in place. He asked me if I knew anything about the company that he was buying. I told him that the company was a pharmaceutical company. He told me that he was going to purchase it and wanted to know about the company. I told him that I knew nothing about the company and I would be glad to help him. He told me that he was a pharmaceutical company and that he was interested in getting the drug manufactured in the United States. He told me that he wanted to buy a small company that made the drug in the United States
