Dear Mr. Kruczek:
We acknowledge receipt of the verbal comment given to my colleague Jason Soncini on June 3, 2014 (the “Comment Letter”) by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) with regard to the above-referenced matter. We have reviewed the Staff’s comment with Platinum Management (NY) LLC and the other participants named in its Proxy Statement (collectively, “Platinum”).
Platinum confirms that each time in the future that Platinum may point out to stockholders of Echo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) the number of shares held by the current directors of the Company, Platinum will also separately and clearly disclose the number of shares held by Shepard M. Goldberg.

The Staff is invited to contact the undersigned at (212) 880-9865 with any additional comments or questions it may have.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Christopher P. Davis
