    he's emblematic of the entire BigPharma industry, not an outlier.

    Martin Shkreli May Spend 20 Years in Prison


    Martin Shkreli can be held responsible for $10.4 million in losses when he’s sentenced for defrauding investors,

    meaning the man more commonly known as “Pharma Bro” could face more prison time than he initially expected.

    U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto issued the ruling Monday, saying it did not matter that investors eventually came out ahead since the amount of loss plays a significant role in federal sentencing guidelines.

    Shkreli is expected to be sentenced on Mar. 9. He has been in jail since his bail was revoked last September for putting a $5,000 bounty on a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair.

    Shkreli and his lawyers were hoping for a prison sentence of 16 months or less. With the decision Monday, though,

    he could face up to 20 years.

    MS convicted for security violations, not for hiking drug prices by 1000s of %, which is standard US BigPharma practice.

    Because he ran a Ponzi scheme on his investors.

    Shkreli drew national scorn two years ago when, as the CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, he unapologetically raised the price of a lifesaving drug used by some AIDS patients from $13.50 per pill to $750. That episode is unrelated to the fraud case.

    I think this guy's tweet was deleted, but

    Judge: "Seven years."

    Martin Shkreli: "(Sobs) Can I have a Kleenex?"

    Judge: "Sure. That'll be one-hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars."

    Martin Shkreli might be in jail but that drug still costs 5,000% more than it once did

    Shkreli is not in prison because his former company Turing Pharmaceuticals hiked the price of Daraprim by 5,000 percent overnight—

    from $13.50 to $750 per pill—

    he’s in trouble because of other things, not the least of which is that

    he was an easily detestable fall-guy for the rest of the pharmaceutical industry.

    Pharmaceutical companies have acted the same way Shkreli has and gotten considerably less ink for it,

    forget about any consequences.

    In 2015 alone, 300 generic drugs — off-patent medications, which are typically cheap to make — saw price increases of more than 100 percent

    On average, Medicaid programs in 2017 paid $35,556.48 per Daraprim prescription

    Capitalism! It's What s You Over.

    Wow. She's not delusional or anything.
