no you see he's actually super rational and found a flaw in the free market where this drug wasn't competitive enough and is just encouraging that competition :downs:

only it'll be couched in lots of big words and condescension to the idiot liberal media whose minds are too feeble to grasp such lofty concepts

this oval office actually asked the fda to not approve drugs on companies whose stocks he was shorting.

also, this guy is clearly a serial killer who is too much of a pussy to kill anyone. find out what city he's in and you'll probably find him masturbating outside of a free clinic to all the death and pain he's causing to people.

100% serious, I wonder about this myself. Also with how many families were destroyed after the financial crisis and not one Wall St banker was even assaulted. It's actually surprising.

im glad people are digging through this guys past and confirming that he's a gigantic sociopath and should be murdered swiftly

The report, taken by New Jersey’s Summit Police Department in December of 2013, describes a man named Tim Pierotti’s claims against Shkreli.

It also indicates that Pierotti’s email accounts had been hacked by who he suspected was Shkreli. The hacker then used the email account to access Pierotti’s Facebook and Linked In accounts.

Subsequent documents from Pierotti’s lawyers confirm that the IP address, 38.122.241.243 that was used to change his Facebook page were directly traced to Shkreli’s networks.

As his accounts were breached, multiple postings appeared on his accounts relating to an on going civil litigation suit between him and Shkreli.

Taking things even further, the report indicates that Shkreli friend requested Pierotti’s 16-year-old son from the account and began messaging him stating that his father had stolen money and betrayed Mr. Shkreli.

The Pierotti family quickly blocked the account, but his wife continued to receive text messages from someone he believed to be Shkreli.

Documents filed by Pierotti’s lawyers also claim that Shkreli sent messages to Pierotti’s wife stating things such as, “I hope to see you and your four children homeless and will do whatever I can to assure this.”

Didn't see this posted here, but I read this last night.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/21/martin-shkreli-is-big-pharma-s-biggest-rear end in a top hat.html

The most beautiful part is the update at the end

quote:

A sworn affidavit submitted by ex-Retrophin employee Timothy Pierotti to the Supreme Court of the State of New York and obtained by The Daily Beast alleges that Martin Shkreli engaged in a pattern of harassment against him and his family for almost a year. Retrophin sued Pierotti in 2013 for $3 million dollars in damages when Shkreli was still CEO of the company and the case was discontinued in 2014.

Pierotti’s affidavit includes screenshots of alleged messages that Shkreli sent to him, his wife, and his son. One Facebook message allegedly sent by Shkreli to Pierotti’s wife Kristen poses a question to her that several people asked Shkreli himself on Monday.

“How do you sleep at night?” the message reads.

“Your husband stole millions from me,” it goes on.

A letter allegedly received by Kristen in the mail says, “I hope to see you and your four children homeless and will do whatever I can to assure this.”

Another screenshot shows what appears to be a conversation between Shkreli and Pierotti’s then 16-year-old son.

“Hey, I’m a friend of your father,” Shkreli allegedly writes after sending a friend request. And, when the teen asks why the friend request was sent in the first place: “Because I want you to know about your dad. He betrayed me. He stole $3 million from me.”

How come there's never been an industry disruptor that just buys oversees from a singlepayer system and then sells for a couple hundred percent markup while still drastically undercutting US pharma. I'm guessing there's legislation that somehow implies European equivalents of the fda aren't up to snuff or something.

I use to buy my medicine from Canada where it was $1200 cheaper a month. I think the rule is it has to be for just you and it can only be 90 days supply at the most and you have to have a valid prescription. There were no generics in America at the time, But they had them in Canada.
So basically I hope these folks can buy their pills from a non broken country.
