We first reported on the origami condom “research” here. But it gets better…
Via WFB:
The inventor of the “origami condom” has been accused of fraud and having used taxpayer money to go on lavish trips, attend parties at the Playboy mansion, get plastic surgery in Costa Rica, and purchase a condo in Provincetown, Mass.
Daniel Resnic received over $2.4 million to develop “origami condoms,” a silicone-based condom modeled off of the ancient Japanese art of folding paper. He received an initial grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to finance a “feasibility study” of his first model in 2006, and subsequently received grants to develop male, female, and anal versions between 2009 and 2012.
Now a former employee is alleging that Resnic spent grant money for his personal use and acted against rules for clinical studies, having friends try out his condoms and report back.
