"Most Hated Man In America" Martin Shkreli Arrested On Suspicion of Fraud (ibtimes.co.uk)
Ewan Palmer writes that everyone's least favorite medication price gouger, Martin Shkreli, has run into some legal problems. According to the article "Pharmaceutical start-up owner Martin Shkreli, dubbed the most hated man in the US over his controversial plans to significantly raise the price of life-saving drugs, has been arrested on suspicion of fraud. Shkreli, 32, who received widespread criticism for hiking up the price of Daraprim from $13 to $750 per pill in September, is being questioned over allegations involving stock from a company he founded in 2011. According to Bloomberg, Shkreli is accused of illegally taking stock from biotechnology Retrophin Inc to pay off debts from unrelated business dealings."
The guy is obviously a sociopath.
According to Google CEOs tend to be Psychopaths.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Did you even READ the article? Well of course not, this is slashdot and you are a reactionary moron with a political agenda.
The guy ran a company that went bankrupt. In the process of running this company is falsified return numbers and lied to investors. He then went on to do a full on ponzi scheme where he brought in new investors to pay off previous investors while lying about what he did the entire time. Then he joined a pharmaceutical company (not his current employer) and proceeded to steal money from them to pay off investors from the failed company.
This former employer has sued him in court and laid out in gory details the entire ponzi scheme, his theft and lies to all the people involved and his eventual embezzlement from them. The feds then began an investigation based on the lawsuit. This all started MONTHS before the whole scandal with trying to fuck children and aids patients out of $80K a month.
Everything he did is not one bit different that what Bernie Madoff did. This guy is a complete and total asshole who should be in jail for a VERY long time.
