Controversial entrepreneur Martin Shkreli has Twitter account hacked

Larry Wilmore weighs in on the glory of Martin Shkreli’s arrest in a recent episode of the Nightly.

Many are even blaming those involved in Shkreli’s education for his criminal activities, including that same high school which he attended before dropping out to pursue a career on Wall Street. Shkreli started working as an intern on Jim Cramer’s Mad Money as a teenager, where he started recommending stock strategies that worked.

Shkreli is no stranger to defending himself amidst public scrutiny.

Martin Shkreli, the drug executive who was widely criticized for sharply raising the price of a drug used by HIV patients, was arrested Thursday by federal agents on charges that he misused funds at the company he founded.

Shkreli denies all wrongdoing – but despite protesting his innocence, the millionaire has stepped away from Turing Pharmaceuticals.

A familiar problem: “Unaccompanied minors are crossing the U.S. Southwest border in growing numbers again, sparking concerns that the new influx of children could eventually approach the levels that previous year prompted the Obama administration to declare a humanitarian crisis”.

Shkreli has previously said that his goal is to use his financial gains to develop new drugs and that he gives much of his company’s medicine away for pennies.

Judging from the seven-count indictment brought against him, the feds disagree.

Shkreli recently became the CEO of a second company, KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., based in South San Francisco, California. Bernie Sanders has spoken on it as well as Hillary Clinton. The Shkreli Foundation website says it is “dedicated to helping people facing a variety of adversities”.

The Campaign for Accountability, a nonprofit watchdog group that urged Congress to investigate Shkreli’s price increases, called his arrest “long overdue” and added: “He has avoided accountability despite a pattern of fraudulent behavior”.

Martin Shkreli leaves the courthouse after his arraignment in NY on Thursday, Dec. 17, 2015.

Valeant’s chief executive was very direct about his position. “And my investors expect me to maximize profits, not to minimize them or go half or go 70 percent but to go to 100 percent of the profit curve”. It is unclear whether Shkreli’s gifts stemmed from the alleged wrongdoing in this case.
