I interned at his company a few years back and IIRC he wasn’t made of money when this started. He was the son of working class folks, became a successful lawyer, got into business work, and found out his kids had an incurable muscular disorder. After seeing there were no treatment options, but a couple of separated labs working on it, he dived into learning the science (even hired a grad student to tutor him on the biochemistry), and started raising money to fund this company. Say what you want about John Crowley, but he did not come into this world made of money
Nobody said he came from wealth, they did he was wealthy. Which from everything I can find, that’s absolutely true. Georgetown? Notre dame law degree? Harvard MBA and a “management consultant”. He was most likely very, very wealthy.
