Following Public Fury, Jim Cramer-Trained CEO Who Raised Price Of Drug By 5000%, Agrees To Lower The Price
It took just a few days, and becoming America's most hated man in the process, for Turing Pharma CEO Martin Shkreli to fold.
The 32 year old "hedge fund manager", who started his career on Wall Street working under Jim Cramer, and who subsequently ended up owing now-defunct Lehman Brothers $2.3 million for a Put option gone bad (only to see Lehman collapse before the now defunct bank could collect), was the object of nationwide scorn, derision and outrage after a NYT profile of his decision to boost the price of a drug by over 5000%. Even Hillary Clinton got involved in the public outrage, first tweeting and then making it a matter of her public policy how as a result of his actions she would implement a $250 price cap on drugs to prevent such price gouging. Earlier today, the Taiwanese Animators took "Big Pharma Douchebag" Shkreli to task with the following clip:
Not surprisingly, following the biggest plunge in biotech stocks in 2015 - many have speculated that the real goal of Shkreli's actions was to profit by shorting the biotech sector ahead of the selling which his action would have unleashed - and an epic public outcry against the diminutive "hedge fund" manager (his prior company Retrophin recently filed a federal lawsuit against Shkreli alleging that he created the biotech and took it public solely to provide stock to MSMB investors when his hedge fund became insolvent; the suit seeks $65 million in damages) NBC reported moments ago that "the pharmaceutical company boss under fire for increasing the price of the drug Daraprim by more than 5,000 percent said Tuesday he will lower the cost of the life-saving medication."
Martin Shkreli did not say what the new price would be, but expected a determination to be made over the next few weeks.
He told NBC News that the decision to lower the price was a reaction to outrage over the increase in the price of the drug from $13.50 to $750 per pill.
Turing Pharmaceuticals of New York bought the drug from Impax Laboratories in August for $55 million and raised the price. Shkreli said Tuesday the price would be lowered to allow the company to break even or make a smaller profit.
He added that his action was "absolutely a reaction — there were mistakes made with respect to helping people understand why we took this action, I think that it makes sense to lower the price in response to the anger that was felt by people." One would not have gotten that impression from reading his tweets over the past 4 days.
In a phone interview with NBC Shkreli said the money from the increase would be used to develop better treatment for toxoplasmosis that have fewer side effects. "It's very easy to see a large drug price increase and say 'Gosh, those people must be gouging.' But when you find out that the company is not really making any money, what does that mean?"
Well, it means it is like 90% of "eyeball" and "biotech" companies out there, that's what it means.
His conclusion: "I think in the society we live in today it's easy to want to villainize people, and obviously we're in an election cycle where this is very, very tough topic for people and it's very sensitive. And I understand the outrage," Shkreli said.
It's even easier to villainize those who deserve it.
But now that Shkreli's 15 minutes of fame are over and his Twitter profile is now in "private" mode (we doubt the SEC will investigate his shorting activity of biotech indices - we are confident the young "hedge funder" will have bigger headaches to deal with soon enough) the attention should shift to the real villains - those truly big pharma companies, who do what Shkreli did but on a far vaster and grander, if less obvious, scale taking advantage of the price cushioning effects that Obamacare provides.
We also are curious to see how Hillary's populist outrage at Shkreli will be explained when the public realizes that it is only thanks to the benefits of socialized insurance programs such as Obamacare, of which Hillary is a staunch supporter, that such price gouging was possible in the first place.

Everything I've read about this guy seems to make clear he's pretty much earth's biggest douchnozzle, bar none.
Some people are born with doucheface, and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. The name sounds like "Shrek" and looks like one too.
These Taiwanese gents or ladies, whoever made the video, are putting our own MSM douchespigots to shame. Kudos!
Then there is this gem:
"Drug boss Martin Shkreli, 32, also allegedly gained access to social media accounts belonging to that ex-employee, and contacted him and his relatives directly, including his teenage son and wife, as he accused the worker of defrauding Shkreli's then-pharma company, Retrophin.
"Your husband had stolen $1.6 million from me and I will get it back. I will go to any length necessary to get it back," Shkreli allegedly wrote the wife of former Retrophin employee Timothy Pierotti in a January 2013 letter, according to court documents.
"Your pathetic excuse of a husband needs to get a real job that does not depend on fraud to succeed ... I hope to see you and your four children homeless and will do whatever I can to assure this," Shkreli allegedly wrote."
Someone needs to meet this douchebag on a dark street or his office and take a bat to his knees. Trained by Cramer.
Thinking terminal cancer patient.....don't stop at the knees.
Public fury would be much better appeased be hanging both of these mutherfuckers by the balls during a Grammy event. Gaga could write a whole new song about investor's rape.
Has he started shaving yet?
He needs some Vitamin Pb...applied two to the chest and one to the head.
Gotta come over the top on this douchewad with something extraordinare.
I fart in his "specific" direction.
This phucking guy looks like a tool.
The natural backlash against this reprehenisble person is obvious:
We should petition the government to stop people like this! We need protection against such people!
And the statist train rolls forward.
USE. YOUR. FUCKING. BRAIN.
If this guy isn't an outright patsy he's definitely on the statist payroll. Exactly the reaction that he was paid for.
Too bad the scumbags can't be uncircumsiced for the next holocoust round.
My money is on the other pharma and biotech companies telling him to back down or die.
Some people deserve the nail gun and some deserve to be skinned alive... I vote for the later for this numpty... Nothing like gouging the hell out of the sick for profits...
When someone shoots fucks like this in the head and a jury lets them off, things might change in America. Until then Buckle Up
he is actually a good thing
Obama's TTP allows Pharma to extend patents worldwide for 50 years - and unlimted restraint on pricing - by eliminating Country based single payer programs to negotiate with Pharma for an entire country
this will destroy the logic of TTP - easy way of showing effect with cartoons for the general public
More like "has his balls dropped yet?"
This guy is the pinnacle of douchebaggery beyond any shadow of a doubt, and is everything that is wrong in our country.
Sadly though, this mentality is everywhere in the corporate world.
Fucking scum.
Isn't this stuff generic.
It should not take long for some competition to come in if he kept the price high.
Perhaps The FDA could be converted to an organization that did not force its thinking onto the sick. Then the sick and the doctors could chose the vendors they desire, instead of vendor status being heavily regulated, greatly increasing barriers to competition, especially in low volume drugs..He did a public service by demonstrating the insanity of the medical welfare system along with the regulatory system, both fascist enterprises.
I take a drug for digestion after gall bladder removal. It used to be over the counter, costing thirty dollars a month.
Then some smart Pharma guy convinced the FDA that the generic stuff was not consistent enough. He would make it consistent and strictly within the FDA regulatory structure.
Now it costs 2700 bennies a month.
Seeing as I am blind and doing my part to bankrupt the system, .gov picks the whole tab.
Thats over thirty housand a year just for one person and one drug.
Zeeesch
Hear, hear! I'd bet that douchebag called the Hitlary campaign headquarters today and said:
"Okay, how much does she want for her campaign? I've got the checkbook out!
I don't know how many are going to get the depth of truth in that comment, but you're absolutely right.
Hang the author too..."Obamacare, of which Hillary is a staunch supporter, that such price gouging was possible in the first place."
Bull fucken shit....how selective of you...Medicare play any role in drug price gouging?...where's the "repeal Medicare" charge from the NUTJOB Right?
Does the VA Hospital system play any role, free drugs for Vets, in the outragous price of drugs? The VA Sytem is 100% PURE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE...where is the "REPEAL" charge for that...hmmm.
Does the Private Sector play any role in the outragous price of drugs?..."lobbying FOR OBAMACARE"...for "MORE MEDICARE FUNDING"...MORE, MORE, MORE, public money into the "Health Industry".
If you think the problem here is "ObamaCare"...you're a clueless fucking moron...it's like looking at a decapitated body, noticing a paper cut on the hand, and saying the patient died from the paper cut.
...where's the "repeal Medicare" charge from the NUTJOB Right?
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Since CommieBamaCare is the newest of the 'progressive' parasitic schemes foisted on us, it should be the first one to get shitcanned.
Actually, if you simply make Congress and all Federal employees use the EXACT SAME health care and retirement systems the general public uses, this shit sorts itself out in about 15 minutes, and that's including a smoke break.
Straight. Up. Fact.
"it should be the first one to get shitcanned"
Bullshit. If you're "philosophically" opposed to something, you're opposed to it in all forms...ABSOLUTELY NO TALK of repealing Medicare or the VA...exact opposite..Right is promising more funding!
Uber Rightwing JOni Earnst says of Socialised Medicine (in the case of the VA) "provides good care...it just needs more money to improve access time"...
If you think "Repeal the VA" and "Repeal Medicare" are on deck after "Repeal ObamaCare"...well sir, you're f'n crazy.
Freddie, have you read "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross? I downloaded a free pdf on, I think, Western Rifle Association. I sat at my computer for several days until I finished. It was a very compelling story. I don't work anymore so I am afforded, probably temporarily, the luxury of reading from dawn til dusk, if I so desire. Please do give it a look.
A bat?
I thought these assholes used nailguns.
He needs a number of sixteen penny nails driven into his skull.
How many?

What is wrong with charging $750 for a drug if the market will pay that price?
So what if those that can't pay eventually die...they should have "Planned Better".
At $750 a pill, won't the CEO eventually see that's damaging to the "Long Term" health of the company, realize his/her error, and reprice the drug back to some lower level?
If we try it, the "Free Market" will eventually work! As long I'm not the one dead due to being unable to afford the drug, I say let the "Free Market" run it's course.
false narrative and framing of your question. The answer is not "red team" or "blue team". So you, like the political parties only allow us an OCD Borderline Personality disorder schizophrenia choice.
"Free Market"?? We do not have capitalism or free markets in the United States. It is an inside deal all the way and both praties pay the winners.
I don't buy it. As I said, he is a shit bag and a "special person". Who the hell cares about his fucking political leanings and what has that got to do with being a shit bag or a douchenozzle????
This cocksucker sociopath is being sued by HIS FORMER COMPANY THAT HE FORMED for 65 million dollars for fraud.
After he harrassed a former employee that HE said was the fraudster, the employee's lawyer said....."Let's take a look at all your computers you sent those incriminating texts and messages. And by the way.....hand over all your data concerning YOUR fraud.
Douchnozzle IMMEDIATELY dropped his suit and then got served by HIS OWN COMPANY FOR FRAUD.
And what was the fraud for ? FOR USING COMPANY FUNDS TO PAY OFF INVESTORS OF HIS CUTE LITTLE HEDGE FUND THAT HE BLEW UP !!!

Hollywood could not come up with a better douchbag motherfucker than this waste of sperm.
We need to see a lot more like this guy, doing what he is doing. It is the only thing that will get people riled enough to wake up and force change.
In fact this guys is so bad makes you wonder if it is a plant.
Kinda reminds of those grug pusher movies.
Give the people the drug, cheap, get them all using it, relying on it, then raise the price when they have no alternative but to pay.
Guaranteed he doesn't have a research department and will never develop a drug of his own.
It looks like he put most of his own money in to buy the rights to Daraprim. Just like any other hedge fund investment, he's probably bleeding the company to pay himself back (with a hefty return), hence his claims the company isn't profitable.
In an uncommon move, Shkreli himself led the Series A financing, and Turing isn't naming any of its other backers, calling them "preeminent institutional equity investors" and leaving it at that. In a filing with the SEC last week, Turing counted 34 individual participants in its funding round but reported raising just $62.7 million. A spokesman for the company declined to explain the $27.3 million difference, and further questions about the company's financials were met with a terse email from Shkreli asking FierceBiotech not to contact Turing again.
Meanwhile, Turing has already committed some of its new cash, this week paying Impax Laboratories ($IPXL) $55 million for the U.S. rights to Daraprim

I got into a twitter fight with this jackass last night to the point I wrote that his posts had to be spoofs, that somebody was using his name as a joke. It really was him! He wrote some really asshole stuff that one would never expect from the head of a legit company. Low and behold, his posts to me are gone- only my responses to him and copies I sent to a fellow ZHer. Small victory over an inferior, but damn, I feel good!

"This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate >>>as taxes,<<<" he said during a panel discussion at the University of Pennsylvania in October, 2013. "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.” - Jonathan Gruber
i never got the gruber thing
isnt it the stupidity of the american LEGISLATOR?
the voters never voted for or against the bill
Basically, he's calling anyone who helped ELECT a legislator who then voted for it...stupid.
Meaning you, the people.
if only an option on the ticket was 'anti-incumbent'
i might actually vote
No but they voted for and then re-voted for the legislators who voted for the bill. That's the stupidity.
"the voters never voted for or against the bill"
It is the privilege of your elected Representative to rape, rob and pillage from the taxpayers. You expect voters to have a say ?

I had to re-read that statement several times myself. I think the author was trying to say, this fellow sold puts in LEH, and had $2.3 million worth of stock put to him, when it dropped below his strike price, bankrupting his hedge fund. But correct me if I am wrong.
It's like tripping on an uneven sidewalk.

Betchu somebody in government leaned on him, in private. Give you 10:1 odds he never would have backed down of his own accord.
He's probably just lying about lowering the price to wait this firestorm out.
His actions led to a great spotlight of public attention and outrage being pointed at a Chosenite and one of their scams.

Yes and what I want to know is the R&D tax credit or deduction that costs the average American citizen in subsidizing big pharma, then how come big pharma then sells these drugs overseas for less than here in the USA? Here is the deal, pass a law that states that the American people who help fund development of these "blockbuster" drugs get the best price. We don't care what they charge overseas but we, the US citizen, get the best price.
It can be $.01 less but it is always, always less than what is charged to anyone else in this world. Net, net, net down FOB here too, no spiffs, of volume rebates, freight equalization or any other gimmicks. We the citizens get the best worldwide price. This isn't happening here right now. Now it is what the market will bear, and with the government highly distorting the free market we always, always pay more. In essence we pay twice. Tax credits / rebates then higher prices. Bunch of criminals are "ruling" us and it needs to stop.
"In essence we pay twice. "
Americans NEED to pay moar because Big Pharma needs the big profits so they can continue to fund the re-elections of our Representatives.
theanti, and others see the problem of .gov and the NWO free trade off shoring policy, this guy is scum, but the system of the rape of america is what makes him able to try another raping - over regulation high cost here in usa and any industry will move off shore unless they have a cash cow - this guy just tried to make a generic drug priced at what the market could bear (create a cash cow) and he got the feed back quick that it was too high (it was)..the once great quality USA pharma industry is being raped, not by greedy CEO's but by your good friends in DC and the reptile elite moving us into chaos of NWO third world living for those of us not in the club.
Why shouldn't something be worth what someone is willing to pay for it?
Government took over healthcare so who gives a shit if the price $1 or $1,000,000?
Don't forget healthcare costs didn't become unaffordable until governmment got involved particularly with medicare and medicaid.
Let's stop bullshitting ok?
Very few people can afford to pay $50,000 for a hep c cure. But guess who can? The government. And guess where most hep c patients are? In jails funded by the government. Get it? GET ITTTTTTT????
If you took the government out of healthcare everything would be affordable to everyone.
The problem being inflation created by a government sanctioned private bank makes removing the Government from anything economy related near imposible, the wealth redistribution upwards through inflation and ZIRP not to mention fractional reserve banking is a socialist dream, and as a bonus, the socialist get to blame thier failings on the now defunct capitalism.

Should we peek behind the curtain ? Could the Hitlery campaign be behind this since she's falling behind in popularity ?
Given how over-the-top this guy is and that Clinton was already prepared to immediately hop on it with a policy proposal, there's good reason to suspect the entire thing is a charade designed to make her look good, even to the point of the idea of buying the rights to the drug and hiking the price through the roof being her idea to begin with.
I think he should charge Lloyd Blankfein the full $750 per pill if Lloyd needs it for his lowered immune system levels in connection with his cancer treatment. The billionaire Lloyd can afford it and he might learn a lesson. (though doubtful)

Question: what is the appropriate price of this drug? Can you answer? How you determine the answer says a lot about the kind of person you are.
30% above manufacturing cost
Yet vacsines are near free, another wrinkle in the Matrix.
$27.50 to administer the government required Mencoccal (sp?) vaccine to my 7th grade daughter.
Bonus: I scheduled the appointment for ONLY the menoccal shot.
We go into the exam room, and the nurse says "you're getting two shots today". I say "i only order the menococcal". She says "yes but we are also going to give her teh HPV shot".
I said "I did not order that and it is not required by law". She says "yes but it is a good thing".
I say "you're not giving it to her". She says "What do you know about the HPV shot? I can tell you about it".
I say, more firmly "I know that she's not getting it, period".
So I saved my daughter a good chance of getting Gulian Barre. And she learned a valuable lesson about the medical industry.
See, before we went to the Dr's office, I warned her that they woudl try to give her extra shots. I told her never to accept 'optional' vaccines. NEVER. Because of the harmful ingredients, AKA adjuvants, and because vaccine mfrs are immune from product liability due to their specialness, as determined by the government.
The look on my girl's face when the nurse said "you're getting 2 shots today" was priceless. A critical thinker was fully awakened. A future ZH'er was born. I saw it in her eyes.
After we left, she said "you can't trust them".
I said "good answer".
A free market would be producing it for 5% margins or less.
He should sell the drug via dutch auction.
If we truly had a free market, manufacturers would compete to produce and sell this thing and it wouldn't be controlled by some douche nozzle who "owns the rights" to it.
If it was paid for directly, it would cost practically nothing. So these people that are dying are paying about 700 bucks just for parasites like this sociopath. This is not how a society progresses; this is how it ends.
There was a time in this country when a worthless bastard like this would have been tarred and feathered, publicly shackled, or just beaten by a vigilante mob, and not a single cop or judge would have raised so much as an eyebrow.
and I'm sure you're afraid of ISIS, coming into your little town.
I am guessing he raised the price once he figured out he overpaid for the drug. One of those simple moving the decimal place over by 4 or so...
If we had a had a court system that wasn't captured they would be defending people from androgenous shark eyed freaks like this guy.
If you guys really cared abou the AIDS patients, you would have started a charity or a fund to buy the patents and make them more affordable.
The truth is you don't give two shits about them, and your anger comes from inside. Those who torment others, are themselves tormented. You exhibit a textbook case of projection — projecting your own unacceptable feelings onto others. stay small, losers
--- Sharper than a serpent's tooth ---
Who gives a fuck about AIDS patients except AIDS patients?
their moms
well, if there's a big enough market to be had...
Boy are you going to be upset, those charities? Most are really just tax shelters for the elite, giving themselves and their children a job, title, mercedes, and a fat paycheck for life. Maybe you are all to familiar with "projection"?
I don't give a shit about AIDS patients because they are almost exclusively fags and heroin addicts who brought it upon themselves and have absolutely no one else nor nature to blame for their conditions.

Shkreli is just another shit fly trying it on.

Cocksucks like this mint democrats by the truckload.
This is the essence of kikery. Their aim is to enslave all goy and exploit them at every turn because they think they are "entitled" by a fairytale to do so.

A generation of unemployed Millennials will see this asshole and think that kneeling under the alter of Jim Cramer is great and in addition they should pay homage to this Fuckhead.
That is the last thing in the world we need. A Cramer idol with his kids teeth and a psychological disease to boot.
