Turing Pharma

Infamous "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli, once dubbed the most hated man in America for ratcheting up the price of an HIV drug, was sentenced to seven years prison Friday on charges of defrauding investors.

Martin Shkreli, the poster boy for prescription drug price increases who was arrested for securities fraud this week, has stepped down from his post as chief executive officer of Turing Pharmaceuticals Inc, the company said on Friday.

A former hedge fund manager, Shkreli drew the wrath of consumers, became a talking point in the presidential campaign and spurred federal and state inquiries as well as a dialogue about how and whether to control rising drug prices.
