Martin Shkreli, Pharma Bro, was arrested earlier this week on securities fraud charges, and he has since resigned as CEO from Turing Pharmaceuticals, where he had increased the cost of Daraprim from $13.50 (still not cheap) to $750 a pill. Justice! Doesn’t happen often enough, but did here. Although, the new acting CEO did not exactly say that they’d be rolling back the price of the drug – stay tuned.
After he was released from jail, he tweeted “Thanks for the support.” No one is supporting him. Other evil people have even backed off of their support. All I can say is that maybe there is a Santa Claus after all.
