Context: this is the guy who became CEO of a pharmaceutical company and promptly raised the price of a life saving AIDS medication from $13.50 to $750 per pill.
He’s basically been a huge piece of shit in the face of justified public backlash over this (basically playing the “lol I’m rich I don’t care about your criticisms” card). Even Donald Trump has panned this guy. He eventually promised to lower the price (he didn’t say how much), but this hasn’t happened yet.
Recently, he donated $2,700 to the Bernie Sanders campaign in order to buy a meeting with him (some sort of play for power). Sanders and his campaign manager were aware of the situation with this dude and “refused” to take his money. But instead of just giving it back, they donated it to an HIV clinic as an extra slap to the face.
Shkreli has been trying to play it off (also saying Sanders should have given it back instead of donating it), but judging by this latest tweet I just got in my email, he’s starting to crack :y
The one with that bitch that can’t decide what fucking song she wants and the guy with the shittiest taste in music omfg and TFW they won’t verify your student account to stop the ads😡
