Martin Shkreli, sometimes known as "Pharma Bro", earned notoriety after obtaining the patent for an anti-parasitic drug and hiking the price from $13.50 a pill to $750. An FTC lawsuit ordered Shkreli in January 2022 to return almost $65 million in wrongfully obtained profits, and banned him for life from the pharmaceutical industry.In 2018, he was sentenced to federal prison for unrelated securities fraud; a U.S. Attorney stated he "essentially ran his company like a Ponzi scheme". He spent five years in prison, and was released in May 2022.Shkreli is also banned from the securities industry, and from serving as an officer or director of any publicly traded company.If this was anyone other than Martin Shkreli, I might have been surprised to hear that, only a little over two months out of prison and while still staying in a halfway house, Shkreli is launching a "web3 drug discovery software platform".
He did a AMA on the Wall Street Bets sub. I’m sure he said he didn’t have to give up his pharmaceutical business. So them saying he’s banned from the industry doesn’t add up.
Also, as a Wu Tang fan. This is the prick that got the unreleased album at auction. I really do not like this man.
That last paragraph alone is enough to send him to the wall 🧱
We’re the tracks released or does he legit have a full album nobody else can access?
They were not released. He had to give up the album I think to pay off his penalty so someone else has it now. He made a copy of the tracks though and does live streams of them. The wall isn’t a strong enough punishment for him.
That’s fucking vile. Imagine getting off on withholding art from others. Fuck the capitalist class, fucking sociopathic hoarders.
He ended up having a public spat with Ghost Face Killa. Not only did this guy own his art but increased the costs of his mother’s drugs. He’s lucky to still be breathing.
Yet he’s out and starting a new company?!
This is what people just don’t get. Justice doesn’t exist for the rich anymore.
if he has streamed them to more than a few people surely someone must’ve ripped it? is it really still not publicly available anywhere?!
Not officially but I’m sure like you say someone has ripped it.
