‘Pharma bro’ Martin Shkreli arrested on federal securities fraud charges
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-arrested-on-federal-securities-fraud-charges/the price-gouging pharmaceutical company executive, was arrested early Thursday morning on securities fraud charges.
The 32-year-old CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals AG became known as the most hated man on the Internet after buying the rights to a life-saving medication and jacking up the price from $13.50 to $750 per pill.
Federal investigators charged Shkreli with illegally taking stock from Retrophin Inc., another biotech firm he founded in 2011, to pay off debts from unrelated business dealings, reported Bloomberg.
