Martin Shkreli, "America's Most Hated", "Price Gouging" Biotech Mogul Arrested For Securities Fraud, Released On $5 MM Bond

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: Shkreli was released on a $5 million bond after a hearing Thursday, and had his travel restricted to parts of New York. It was not immediately clear how he pleaded to the charges.  Evan Greebel, whom the SEC said was Shkreli's lawyer, also faces a count of wire fraud conspiracy. He was arrested Thursday and released on a $1 million bail.

It is unclear if somehow Shkreli got 2.5x leverage on repackaged Collateralized Wu Tang Obligations.

* * *

The “most hated man in America” just got arrested for securities fraud.

  • SHKRELI, CEO REVILED FOR DRUG PRICE GOUGING, ARRESTED FOR FRAUD
  • N.Y. LAWYER EVAN GREEBEL ARRESTED IN SHKRELI INVESTIGATION

Shkreli, the baby faced, former Jim Cramer protege and serial biotech mogul who famously raised the price of a toxoplasmosis drug by 5000% in September, igniting a media and political firestorm in the process, is accused of using Retrophin (a company he founded and ran until he was ousted by the board) as a kind of slush fund. As an aside, you’re reminded that Retrophin once raised the price of a drug used to treat a rare condition that causes reoccurring kidney stones from $1.50 a pill to $30.

Retrophin claims that after Shkreli’s hedge fund, MSMB Capital, went bust after a $7 million loss on a “disastrous” trade with Merrill Lynch four years ago, he used a series of complex transactions involving Retrophin to pay back MSMB’s investors.

“Retrophin sued Shkreli in August for misuse of company funds,” Bloomberg recounts. The company “claims he engineered numerous transactions between investors in MSMB and the biotechnology firm.” 

Retrophin goes on to allege that “Shkreli paid some [MSMB] investors through fake consulting agreements and others through unauthorized appropriations of stock and cash”

At one point, Shkreli allegedly decided to reclassify a $900,000 investment MSMB made in Retrophin as a loan. So basically, he invested in himself and then decided later that he had actually loaned himself money and needed to pay himself back. Retrophin did indeed pay back the “borrowings” and Shkreli subsequently used the funds to “settle another unrelated legal dispute.”

As Bloomberg goes on to note, “The Securities and Exchange Commission, which according to court documents opened an investigation into Shkreli in 2012, is expected to file a parallel civil complaint against him, according to people familiar with the matter.”

While Shkreli is known for laughing in the face of criticism and ridicule, this one might be hard to shrug off. It’s at least possible he could end up banned from running a public company, meaning Turing and KaloBios would need to find new executives (maybe Joe Campbell's KBIO short will pay off after all).

“Some of these companies seem to act more like hedge funds than traditional pharmaceutical companies,” said Senator Susan Collins, a Maine Republican who ran the recent hearing into the soaring cost of specialty drugs.

On the bright side for Shkreli, he'll have plenty of time to listen to the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang album he bought in May for $2 million if he ends up incarcerated.

Incidentally, we predicted this might happen way back in September when we said that while "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."

And as for the ultimate punchline - drumroll - Shrekli had planned a meeting just two days ago with lawyers for incarcerated rapper "Bobby Shmurda" who Shrekli planned to bail out of jail. We'll close with the following quote from Shkreli, who spoke to Vanity Fair

“We’re actually in discussion to try to bail out Bobby Shmurda. Forget whether you think he’s guilty or not, the guy should not be sitting in jail right now. He deserves a fair trial. He deserves good lawyers. He doesn’t have good lawyers. His label is hanging him out to dry and so I have a conference call tomorrow morning with them (December 15). I’ll show up with $2 million bail money no fucking problem.”

Better save that $2 million in bail money Martin. You may need it for yourself.

 

Meanwhile, Jim Cramer is getting nervous:

http://telegraphtimes.com/2015/12/16/magnum-hunter-resources-files-for-c...

 

Oil and gas producer Magnum Hunter Resources and its affiliates filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to carry out a debt-cutting plan as a prolonged slump in oil prices has depleted the company's cash. In a Chapter 11 filing in Wilmington, Del., Tuesday, the company requested relief from $1.4 billion in debts, citing the depressed state of the global commodities market. Magnum Hunter Resources Corp.is based in Irving, Texas, and owns about 45% of the equity interest in the Eureka Hunter Pipeline LLC. Telegraph Times

I imagine if he actually spends any time in prison, it will be in the local J.Esptein wing. As others have mentioned, this does appear to be punishment for showing his hand too freely in public, not pretending that he's in business for 'job creation' and 'innovation' in the industries he's involved in, just the money, it's all about the money and apparently a little fame. Part of playing the game at that level is not admitting it's a game and you're playing it.

Someone of his public profile and wealth must have political considerations taken into account when criminal charges happen. Happens more often than we're told, the wealthy and powerful can't go to prison, or be charged most of the time, because it would cause them too much distress and such penalty is barbaric for men of such standing in society

 

It would also undermine confidence in the markets/ecnomy etc if the wealthy started getting prosecuted for their crimes, complex financial crimes or more traditional crimes where physical interaction is involved. Would be less easy to look to them for guidance and advice if they were shown to be as corrupt and unethical as your local organized crime franchise.

He's clearly a dick but the people bad mouthing him and capitalism for raising the price of a drug could've banded together, bought the company, and released the drug into the public domain to be made cheaply by other companies in perpetuity.

Not sure I understand how he allegedly engaged in securities fraud, that is, making a misrepresentation or material omission in connection with the purchase or sale of a security.  Moving money from one entity to another that is phony or unauthorized is a breach of fiduciary duty as a corporate officer or director, subjecting him to a derivative action by shareholders.  This may be another example of government trying to make an example of him for jacking up the price of drugs, something he is entitled to do if he owns them.  The US Justice Dept., like the SEC, is more political every day and chooses prosecutions that make them look good in the eyes of the public.  The ZH article of the other day where a NY regulator wants the SEC to investigate gun manufacturer Sturm is another example.  There are many these days.  If TPTB don't like you or your business, you better be prepared to get prosecuted in some fashion.  This is where we've come.  It is just going to get worse as the Ruling Class gets more desperate to hang on to power.

It is an axis of weasels that is second to none in sewing the seeds of hate, crime and discontent in this once great land.

Perusing the alternative news over the last 15 years, I have indeed seen a correlation between the "axis" you speak of. It is stunning that more people have not noticed this.

A Jew gets arrested for fraud, and it's proof positive to all the ZH wankers, who "connect the dots between the democrats, communists, jews, minorities and crime" with the same reverence that the Pope connects the dots between the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, of the "Zio conspiracy." And if you don't give the right answer to their Rorschach test, here's a 25-hour psychotic rant on YouTube that proves it.

Of course, to the schizophrenic, any old dot will do. Holy Jehovah, Happy Hannukka and light the menorah with my butt wind, what a looney bin.

Very likely he is Muslim

 

"Shkreli is a historical tribe (and region) in Northern Albania (see Malësia). With expansion of the Ottoman Empire, part of the tribe migrated to Rugova beginning in ca. 1700, after which they continued to migrate into the Sandžak region (today inSerbia and Montenegro). The Shkreli tribe converted into Islam in the 18th century, while the Shkreli in Sandžak (known asŠkrijelj/Serbian???????) over time were Islamized and today declare Bosniak ethnicity. There are minor families which still adhere to Christianity (most of whom are Catholic, the rest Orthodox).

Judging from your response, you're either a kike(my first guess), a jew conspirator/apologist or so woefully naive that you can't see anything past those rose colored glasses.

The history as to why they have been ejected from many countries tells the story. Perhaps you should read more... and NOT the revisionist history the jooz want you to read.

IMF's Lagarde to stand trial in France

Published: Dec 17, 2015 11:02 a.m. ET WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, has been ordered to stand trial over her role in a payment made to a French businessman in an arbitration case. The IMF said its board continues to express confidence in the ability of Lagarde to "effectively carry out her duties." Lagarde was French finance minister in 2008 when French businessman Bernard Tapie was awarded 400 million euros. Lagarde's lawyer said the decision to refer her to trial will be appealed.

Essentially this is evidence that SEC et. al can arrest just about any Wall Street douchebag for very legitimate reasons...BUT will ONLY do so when one of the douchebags brings attention to the rest of the douchebags. Naturally the SEC et. al will IGNORE all of the VAST and BLAZING corruption that is built into the Wall Street culture.

You can be a criminal, just don't rub it in the plebians faces (too much).

Laws are for we the sheeple. I will not be found wanting again. Look around. Keep your friends and neighbors close. I am not a doom and gloomer. I am a realist. Time to wake up and realize there are fates worse than death.
We don't run this country. As long as you breathe you owe taxes , fees, tolls, licensing and permit fees. Tax freedom day is not in May. Tax freedom day is in the grave yard. Will we ever hold those elected accountable for their actions and inactions? One can dream.
