Questiоn 4 – 10 Pоints Elizаbeth Hоuse formed her heаlth cаre business, House Remedies, in 2020. Since that time, House Remedies has manufactured and sold a trade-secret protected pill that includes multiple vitamins and other supplements that are marketed as limiting the effects of Covid. House Remedies marketed its product as the “Covid Cure-all”). Covid Cure-all is the only product sold by House Remedies. The product became very successful. In January 2025, Ron Donald approached Elizabeth House about buying her company, House Remedies. Over the course of four months Ron Donald and Elizabeth House engaged in significant discussions and information sharing regarding the financial condition of the company. Elizabeth House provided Ron Donald with substantial financial information on her company, House Remedies, and she granted Ron Donald access to the company’s financial records and to the company’s confidential information regarding the formula for the Covid Cure-all (after Donald signed a non-disclosure agreement). By July 2025, Donald was prepared to proceed to with the purchase of House Remedies. He offered Elizabeth House $12 million for her company and he wanted to close on the transaction on or before August 31, 2025. A sale was scheduled for the afternoon of August 31, and all parties were scheduled to meet and sign all documents required to transfer the entire company to Ron Donald effective that date. On August 15, 2025, Elizabeth House received a letter from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) which letter indicated that the FTC had opened an investigation into House Remedies’ advertisements for its Covid Cure-all and that there was significant credible evidence that Covid Cure-all did not have any impact or benefits with regard to Covid, and that the pills might actually cause some harm or worsening of symptoms. The FTC provided Elizabeth House with a report that the FTC had obtained in conduction with the Food and Drug Administration which showed that the Covid Cure-all did not provide any benefits and which indicated that further testing was required to determine whether the medication was harmful. The FTC indicated that it was commencing legal proceedings against House Remedies in the coming months. Elizabeth House was very upset by the letter and was concerned about the impact of the letter on her pending sale to Ron Donald. On August 31, 2025, Elizabeth House and Ron Donald closed the transaction and Ron Donald became the new sole owner of House Remedies. Within 30 days of closing, Ron Donald learned of the FTC letter and the imminent commencement of legal action by the FTC. Ron Donald has sued Elizabeth House for fraud.
