“Six minutes. That’s how long it took for Martin Shkreli to go from being just another CEO of a drug company to one of the most hated men in America.”

“When Shkreli’s company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, bought the rights to the antiparasitic drug Daraprim in 2015, Turing promptly hiked the price from $13.50 a pill to a whopping $750--even though it costs only pennies to make.”

“...Shkreli was convicted of securities” FRAUD.
