| Martin Shkreli |
The most unwanted man of Albanian origin in the world. Martin Shkreli, who was criticized for raising the price of an AIDS drug, was permanently expelled from the pharmaceutical industry on Friday after a federal court found the jailed former executive involved in illegal and monopolistic behavior, this is what local media reports.
The Wall Street Journal writes that Mr. Shkreli was also ordered to pay nearly $ 65 million in profits he and his former company made from the illegal increase in the prices of the drug Daraprim. That figure is over $ 40 million that Vyera Pharmaceuticals LLC, which Mr. Shkreli ran as chief executive when it was called Turing Pharmaceuticals AG, he was ordered to pay in December in a deal with the Federal Trade Commission.
A jury convicted Mr. Shkreli in 2017 on federal securities fraud charges involving two hedge funds he managed and a company he founded. He remains in federal custody and is scheduled to be released in 2023.
