An investor alleges the maker of a bogus drug made from goat’s blood owes him $200,000, San Antonio Express-News reports. Charles Arnold, a 73-year-old partially paralyzed neuropsychiatrist, claims Douglas McClain Sr., 61, still owes him in full. McClain claims that he has paid back $15,800 and intends to pay back the complete amount to Arnold. More than $7.8 million in civil court judgments against McClain have been filed by investors.
