About this episode
Martin Shkreli is America’s most hated pharma bro. In 2015 he bought daraprim which treats HIV and AIDS induced toxoplasmosis and raised the price dramatically. When questioned, he trolled reporters and the public, while actually accommodating a large majority of requests that needed the drug more cheaply.
