it was a shitty drug from the 40s that sometimes still killed the patient and because it was so cheap it was making no money so there was 0 work done by anyone to try and create a better drughttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Shkreli
"In September 2015, Shkreli received widespread criticism when Turing obtained the manufacturing license for the antiparasiticdrug Daraprim and raised its price by a factor of 56 (from US$13.5 to US$750 per pill), leading him to be referred to as "the most hated man in America" and "Pharma Bro".[12][13][14][15][16][17]"

I do not believe that he did anything illegal. Nor anything that led to people being deprived of this medicine.
It was a business scheme that fucked over some insurance companies, apparently.
In many ways he actually served the public by giving a long-standing problem an easily recognizable (and punchable) face.

The thing that actually got him convicted is that he wasn't able to deliver what was promised to the investors, by continuing to repeat such schemes. So the system basically sent him a message that he should've fucked more people over to make money. Not that fucking people over in itself was bad. That's why he'll be rotting in a cell for a long time.
The next guy will surely take the hint, and be even more ruthless.

he raised the praise (still WAY cheaper than many other drugs) so he could have profits which he in turn invested into research for a new drug. its also not a drug you take for the rest of your life, you do it once (one course) and ur done. he gives away 60% of the drug for free to patients who cant afford it and the raised price is only really felt by insurance companies. the drug is just as easy to get now as it was before the difference is now its 1) making profit and 2) research and development of a better alternative is being made for the first time in 70 years
Should be hard labour for everyone. I don't care if they move piles of stones around all day, just make them work.
