Quote
Martin Shkreli, the pharmaceutical entrepreneur vilified for astronomically hiking the price of a life-saving drug, has been barred for life from the pharmaceutical industry and fined $64.6m by a US court.

All too often people get away with shit like this, it’s nice to see a bit of justice being served. Not sure if it should be a new topic so feel free to delete mods but I felt it worth drawing attention to

Never mind the fine he should have been jailed.

He is currently in jail, though it was for securities fraud, not this.

He's currently in gaol. In 03/2018 Out 10/2022.

As Elmo pointed out he's serving his time for securities fraud, not the pharma price fixing.

And I bet it's a country club prison as well.

Good show on Disney+ called “Dope Sick” about Purdue Pharma and Oxy, well worth a watch. They’re freely living life as billionaires whilst thousands were impacted by their greed.

And, again, the company paying fines and very limited jail time, if any.

At least the Sackler name has been dragged through the mud and their name taken off various art exhibitions. Not that will impact on the family's trust fund parasites.
