I loved reading recently about this idiot who takes advantage of the sick, who found himself in competition with someone who was not about to price gouge!
Also, equally amusing was when he donated a large sum of money to Bernie Sanders (my guess is he wanted him in his back pocket) and Sanders donated the money to charity. Mr Shkrell was so miffed, he said Sanders should have returned the money to him, rather than give it to charity.
My question is, who raised this man? Are they proud or ashamed?
What do you think of Mr Shkreli?
Well, this must be embarrassing for Martin Shkreli...

This guy is pretty much the face of a good deal of what's wrong with American healthcare.
It's kind of interesting to see some of the reactions he's been getting on Twitter.
Oh, and he did an AMA (ask me anything) thread on Reddit, too!
**My short bio:** CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals. **My Proof:** twitter.com/martinshkreli is referring to this AMA

I know! It got so bad he had to start refusing interviews and would not comment any more on the subject!

@Pattitude You can read it at the link I posted above.
Some users have a good point: his decision to raise the price so dramatically could have been a deliberate move to manipulate the company's stock, making its value drop so he could buy back shares that he had to give up. Not sure if there's any truth to it... could just be a conspiracy theory.

I would have liked to have viewed that Reddit Q & A!

I read that he was the son of Albanian and Croatian immigrants, was born and raised in Brooklyn. I would think those type of people would be ashamed of him but he's probably so wealthy that he takes care of them financially. He also skipped several grades in school.
