For anyone who spends time here and on similar forums, little in this Bloomberg piece will be new. Janoshik gets a lot of coverage in it.

What really stood out for me, though:
Magic is careful to note that Janoshik can detect contaminants such as heavy metals or endotoxins, but can’t determine whether the substance is safe to inject on a pharmacological level. Even so, with black-market buyer numbers swelling, those customers have started asking suppliers of other kinds - licensed compounding pharmacies among them, who had never fielded such requests from patients before - for proof of third-party testing as well. Magic calls this a completely new frontier for his business, and he’s negotiating a deal with an American lab that would expand the Janoshik name stateside.
An interesting development, should it come off.
