Shkreli's notoriety and social thrashing are good starts, but justice will not be fully served until the scumbag is behind bars or deported to Albania, IMO. He's still exploiting a badly broken system, and he acts in such a morally bankrupt and hedonistic manner that he would likely have no problem throwing your grandmother under a bus.

Chris C He is an American-born citizen. Let's leave heritage out of it. Completely agree that he is amoral.

Hmmm, VRX stock was knocked down 40% yesterday and now he's long? Seems a bit fishy SEC?
Martin Shkreli @martinshkreli 17h17 hours ago I have taken a long position in $VRX and shorted $AGN as a hedge. Both companies have similar prospects and one is at half the price.

Oh my :-) Don't think I'd want this kind of press. May he burn in the hot oil he heated. Twitter/@martinshkreli JUSTICE Martin Shkreli Is at the Center of a New Federal Investigation U.S. Senators have summoned Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli to answer questions about the pricing of Daraprim, a life-saving drug that his company acquired in September. Shkreli has faced scrutiny over his role in raising the price of Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill, and now a special committee is investigating the price hike. www.attn.com/stories/4013/shkreli-senate-committee-investigation

Senators Susan Collins and Claire McCaskill are two of them: arstechnica.com/science/2015/11/750pill-pharma-company-under-investigation-by-senate-for-price-gouging/Martin Shkreli, CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, just got a letter from the US Senate. And it’s not a nice letter (PDF). It was sent by US Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), leaders of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, who are concerned by recent drug pricing practices. In addition to Shkreli, the senators sent letters to the heads of three other pharmaceutical companies, namely Valeant Pharmaceuticals, Retrophin, Inc., and Rodelis Therapeutics. Recent actions within the pharmaceutical industry “have looked like little more than price gouging,” Sen. McCaskill noted in a press release. The release made particular note of Turing’s recent move to increase the price of the drug Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750. Such price hikes on old drugs stand to raise the overall cost of healthcare for Americans, particularly vulnerable senior citizens, by hundreds of millions of dollars each year, the senators wrote. The goal of the committee is to understand the causes and impacts of, as well as potential solutions to the price increases. The committee also plans to investigate the companies' mergers and acquisitions, as well as the Food and Drug Administration’s role in the approval and distribution protocol for generic drugs. In their letters to the pharmaceutical companies, the senators requested a slew of documents, including internal communications, pricing plans, communication with the FDA, and financial documents. The committee has tentatively scheduled an initial hearing for December 9, 2015.

Funny thing is Shrek was tweeting about his long position in VRX after the manufactured "book-cooking" press broke. Total scum bag and I do hope he jumps from his ivory tower on wall street. Although, he'd likely land on all the cash he cheated common investors out of...

White glove criminal equals slap on the wrist... and a book deal, especially if he spends more than a day in a federal sponsored recreational facility. Disgusting to the point of making me want to puke.
so yeah, karma means little, I'm afraid.

He is a pathetic human being. I would relish in the thought that he somehow loses all his Wall Street privileges...POS.
