Martin Shkreli's company is again sharply increasing the price of a decades-old drug for a serious infectious disease. This time it's the Chagas disease, a parasitic infection that can cause potentially lethal heart problems.

Why dont do the jews do something about him, he is single handedly setting back their image 500 years
>>
>>995411

Is this guy actually doing this in all seriousness or is he just fucking around for some other purpose? I strongly get the impression that he's totally fucking with people but I don't think I understand the move.

He even bought the million dollar Wu Tang album for fuck's sake.

VRX is run by ex heinz Execs. This is done all the time but journalism never took interest until him.

Big Pharma is out for your money. The US is the only country where you can advertise drugs.
>>
>>995418
>journalism never took interest until him.

Yes I've been aware of this but I can't figure out why. Is it because he just sort of almost cartoonishly looks like an asshole business guy? He's got one hell of an aggravating appearance.

I live in Canada and I'm not unhealthy at all so the whole situation feels pretty distant from me btw.

DON'T HATE THE PLAYA HATE THE GAME

Where can I buy the rights to decades-old drugs to jack the price up? Martin Shkreli is an inspiration for /biz/ shitposters such as myself everywhere.
>>
>>995406
Some write biography of this great man. I wanna learn a thing or two. Become rich as fuck by 33.
>>
Didn't he buy a Wu Tang album for $2M and didn't even listen to it? Sounds like an alphamale.

Research and a lot of cash. Plus manufacturing connections as well as some marketing and a sufficient business license to sell drugs. So really its pretty easy
>>
>>995413

He's just being himself - a greedy, little prick.
>>
>all this hate for the man

I would do it in a heartbeat
>>
He's doing it to get media attention. Plain and simple. Any publicity is good.
>>
I've been watching his streams, growing to like him 2bh, guy's hilariously autistic
>>
>>996623
Autistic is putting it mildly. The dude streams for 10 hours strsight EVERY SINGLE DAY. He's worth millions but instead spends all day inside failing miserably while hitting on 35 year old women. To top it off he randomly appoints chat mods entirely on a whim, and let's them be as power mad as they like. I just don't get the dude at all. He's definitely an asshole though. A very odd and autistic asshole.
>>
>>996631
He's rolling in dough and getting media attention every week, if this boy's smart he'll keep doing more outrageous shit
>>
>>995406
end user costs don't change. Increased charges are all paid by insurance companies. There are far better alternatives to the drug out there. All doctors need to do is stop prescribing out of date medication that shouldn't even be on the market anymore. He's actually incentivizing better care, if you think about it.
>>
>>995419
If you watch his interviews and hearings and such he's exactly what rich guys in the establishment who've worked all their lives for their position and wear that badge on their chest would call a "little shit." He's a smarmy, in your face troll to these guys, that's all. He looks and acts in such a way as to maximize how much he can piss people off.
>>
>>996631
>The dude streams for 10 hours strsight EVERY SINGLE DAY
Because people watch it. He's basically a celebrity in his own way.

Anybody know if this guy gonna pull another KBIO?
Would love to make a quick thousand.

SJW detected.

Good, he is based as fuck,


Actually fixing the drug and charging the healthcare companies
>>
>>995418
Yet doctors charge you out of the pocket to visit them? Shkreli is bringing more attention to this disease and maybe doctors will actually start diagnosing people with it. The dudes doing good things yet the media twists that shit around like crazy.

He's albanian, so he's actually improving it.

This
He's just gaming the Obamacare situation.
Crank it to $500 per pill and the government would still pay.
It's why the premiums will go up 15-30% a year until people start dropping out.

He has a doc in the description and one of the excel files says ARNA: "I will go ham at 1.50"

Wow, this guy is an even bigger loser than me.

This is coming from a broke neet on autismbux
>>
>>995406
Martin is great, because he knows exactly what to do to reel in liberal fags to cry and subsequently create greater regulation from the shill politicians in biotech. He's playing both sides of the fence, I wouldn't be surprised if he's shorting IBB, and buying stock in companies that offer a cheaper alternative to his own. That's what Shrek does, he manipulates people's overreactions and relies on irrational exuberance following to make a buck.
>>
It's perfectly reasonable to do what he's doing. The market will decide. And that's always best.

ya man, this kinda sucks.

Hi guys.

you do know that he has a short on the pharma industry because he is trying thr goad the government into forcing regulation onto the industry. thats why he advertises his dick moves

isnt that illegal?

You mean the tax payer
>>

people have always been interested...ish, but viral news really dominates these days. Viral activism will be a buzzword in the second half of this decade. I promise you. screenshot this.
>>
>>997875
not the same.

The taxpayer gives the government money, but has no control over where the money goes. This is a system more akin to robbery (though, admittedly, necessary).
>>
>>997470
If this man was around to do this stuff back when 4chan actively named kings and queens to any cute namefag, he would be the king of /biz/
>>
>>997899
>though, admittedly, necessary
Not really. The only things government is necessary for is keeping of the peace and the justice system.
>>
>>997899
But that still means some of my tax money is going to Shkreli's bank account just for raising some bullshit daraprim drug that wont affect me
>>
>>998272
I wish I was as naive as you. Ahh to be 20 again.

And highways, Inter-state commerce regulation, currency, foreign trade, national minimum regulations... you know, not much.
>>
>>995418
Big pharma can advertise prescription drugs in Canada too. The way they do it is advertise directly to doctors and convince doctors to prescribe their brand
>>
>>998278
Well shitposted my friend

>>998279

None of that is necessarily a government function besides interstate commerce regulation and currency you moron

For being on /biz/ you fags know fuck all about business, politics, and economics

Ironically this will spur development of new drugs as the market will increase dramatically. Development of parasitic drugs has been at a stand still for decades.

>>
>>998669
there's things called patents you know
>>
>>998688
Oh, yes. Now I get it, that's why there's only one kind of medication for headache.
>>
>>998692
there isn't, because headaches aren't something as specific as the drugs they are producing. Also patents on medication are usually only granted for a certain period of time, to create a monopoly that encourages research
>>

FDA regulations make it extremely expensive to get a new drug approved for sale in the US.
this also applies to generic copies of existing drug.

shkreli bought the right to market the already approved drug X. competing pharma companies who want to sell drug X have to get their version of it approved by the FDA, which requires jumping through a lot of hoops, paying lots of money and wasting lots of time. since shkrelis drug X is a pretty niche drug that doesnt have a very big market, no drug company bothers doing this.

tl;dr
FDA effectively provides a monopoly to shkreli

>>998965
So let me get this straight. You guys had one of the most notorious shortside twitter accounts out there drunk and lonely and looking for friends ANONYMOUSLY and didnt ask him what his next target was? Instead, you clowns asked him his favorite band? No, this cannot be true

People asked, he just says "Don't ask me for advice, I couldn't care less about you." He says this about any requests for personal advice, stock related or not. Though he did give one person tips on their stock picks because they were female, kek: https://youtu.be/biR2QFgwkLk?t=1h15m18s
