If Gordon Gekko's* Turd Came Alive...

…it would be former hedge fund manager and soulless s.o.b. Martin "Screw You" Shkreli, who decided it would be a good idea to create Turing Pharmaceuticals and acquire the rights to Daraprim, a drug used for treating toxoplasmosis in AIDS patients and others with compromised immune systems.  He also thought it would be a good idea to raise the per pill price of the drug from $13.50 to $750, a 5,500% increase.  Each pill has a reported cost of $1 to manufacture.

The 32 year old poster boy for rapacious greed has a history of acquiring long-existing pharmaceuticals and raising their prices.  But is he in the least bit chastened by the exposure of his greed?   “It really doesn’t make sense to get any criticism for this,” Screw You explained.  Actually, it would make more sense if there were a windfall profits / predatory business practices law that he could be tried and convicted under.
