Miss Karma Gets Mr. Pharma
Remember Martin Shkreli, the CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, who upped the price of a life-saving drug from $13.50 to $750 per pill?
Remember his 32-year-old smirking face explaining that’s free enterprise and that alone makes him a better American than the people who are dying?
Remember how he was flat gleeful over becoming a multimillionaire and you wanted to smack his rear end?
Nah …. forget all that.
Here’s what you’ll want to remember about this guy.
Martin Shkreli, the price-gouging pharmaceutical company executive, was arrested early Thursday morning on securities fraud charges.
Prosecutors in Brooklyn charged him with illegally taking stock from Retrophin Inc., a biotechnology firm he started in 2011, and using it to pay off debts from unrelated business dealings.
That little nincompoop was arrested on securities fraud! Well, put the frying pan in the pot, call the dogs off the porch and get granny’s dancing shoes – there’s gonna be a party.
Thanks to Don for the heads up.
