never because he owns patents on stabilizing and manufacturing the drug as a pill now and that's basically a cash-out if there ever was one, even if everyne knows how to manufacture the drug itself

(actually pretty soon by his own industry in a completely hypocritical show of "faith")

A douchebag just bought the rights to a pill thaf contains toxoplasmosis, and is used to treat AIDS. He immediately jacked the price up from $13.75 to $750 per pill. When questioned, he has explained that he pretty much loves money

It also treats malaria, which means the price increase will kill people. Not probably, but that it will. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrimethamine

lol I'd say good luck with the 483s but this idiot is never going to be able to manufacture.

so I'll just say good luck burning bridges with every contract manufacturer you interact with. owning a dota2 team and getting into reddit slapfights is going to come off real professional

what's this new trend in gbs threads excluding all pertinent information and just vaguely alluding to a current event

I thought you were talking about PrEP and was like "that's incredibly lovely how am I going to suck massive amounts of cum out of strange dick now". hosed up that you made me have to think that thought


Martin Shkreli is the CEO of a small pharmaceutical company called Turing, they bought the rights to a prescription drug called Daraprim, and hiked the price 5000%. Daraprim is used to treat patients with HIV, malaria, and toxoplasmosis, so people will go into massive debt trying to not die due to an evil pharmaceutical corporation but what else is new

There's other generics available and I'd be willing to bet that the FDA is going to allow another manufacturer to step in and produce it.

Hopefully no one dies because of this idiot.

This guy played an online mud I played, ruined his own character, bought another character for 6k -- ruined that one too. Oh, and RP text forced a BJ on another player. It was on his wiki page for a while a few weeks ago, It's probably not still there.

Um. So he was in the room with the other player, and typed out the action of something like "Vanmar (or whatever character he was playing) pulls down your pants and sucks your dick" or something, this was I want to say 2007 (edit, checked. it was as late as 2010)? So a while back. The guy kept going on about how rich he wasm(note: IIRC it's hedge fund money), but no one believed him. Then a Forbes article about this pill stuff came out and we were all like, oh welp.

He'd be popping all those pills and people would be like "woah there, buddy. do you own stock in the company that makes those or something?".
