Martin Shkreli arrested

Quote:
Prosecutors said that between 2009 and 2014, Shkreli lost some of his hedge fund investors’ money through bad trades, then looted Retrophin, a pharmaceutical company where he was CEO, for $11 million to pay back his disgruntled clients.

Shkreli “engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit,” U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said in a statement.

Shkreli was charged with securities fraud and conspiracy. A second defendant, lawyer Evan Greebel, of Scarsdale, New York, was charged with conspiracy and also pleaded not guilty.

In September, Shkreli was widely vilified after a drug company he founded, Turing Pharmaceuticals, spent $55 million for the U.S. rights to sell a medicine called Daraprim and promptly raised the price from $13.50 to $750 per pill.


Shkreli also is the sole and exclusive owner of a Wu-Tang Clan album.

He is also wearing a hoodie in the perp-walk picture. Total thug.

This would have to be the flimsiest pretense for launching into a putdown of ESL teachers that I've ever seen here.

GENO seems to have it in for the ESL teachers and the universities. He claims the majority of teachers are thugs and the universities are even worse.

The dude needs to see a councilor.
