Thursday morning, former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO and current metaphor for the sickness in the soul of America Martin Shkreli was called to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Shkreli spent the hearing pleading the Fifth, but first, he earned a scolding for smirking.
Everyone hates Martin Shkreli, the pharma bro who raised the price of an old but coveted prescription drug by 5,000 percent. It seemed, from his wack demeanor, that Shkreli was taking a Grinch-like joy in his actions; now, investigators have found proof that this is true.
In wake of the recent allegations made against loathed pharma tycoon Martin Shkreli involving securities fraud and conspiracy, a homelessness charity has decided to return the thousands of dollars Shkreli has donated to them.
Turing Pharmaceuticals has announced that Martin Shkreli, its v. unpopular CEO, is resigning. Shkreli was arrested yesterday on unrelated fraud charges, which allege he engaged in improper self-enrichment, using a previous company as his personal checkbook to pay off other debts. You can’t do that.
In a moment of rare national consensus, everyone quietly chuckled this morning when Bloomberg broke the news that Martin Shkreli, the pint-sized pharmaceuticals titan best known for inhumanely jacking up the price of a life-saving drug, has been arrested on suspicion of securities fraud.
Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli has made quite a name for himself this year, astronomically ratcheting up the cost of the anti-parasitic drug Daraprim and, per a lawsuit, being a real shit. Now he’s the proud owner of the sole copy of a priceless Wu-Tang album, because nothing in this world is fair.
