A pharma CEO just jacked up the price of a 62-year-old drug by $736 a pill, and he's responding to critics on Twitter with Eminem quotes

Business Insider By Lydia Ramsey

Martin Shkreli, the hedge-fund-manager-turned-pharmaceutical-CEO, is in hot water after raising the price of the anti-parasite medication Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750.

Turing, which Shkreli founded in February, bought the US marketing rights to the drug in August. Shkreli told Bloomberg TV he hiked up the prices because his company "need[ed] to turn a profit on the drug."

It's common practice for drug companies to set the prices for their new products. What puts Turing in the spotlight is that this is a vastly different price on a drug that's been around for six decades.

The New York Times reported the news on Sunday, bringing up criticism of the choice to raise the drug's price.

Shortly afterwards, Shkreli tweeted out a line of Eminem lyrics:

Apart from the edgy Eminem lyrics, Shkreli's other tweets are pretty fantastic, like this killer humblebrag.

I donated a total of $5,000,000 to various causes recently. Looking forward to telling you all about it.

I wish some Pharma CEO would try and "Meek Mill" with me. I would "Drake" them so fast.

Despite his most recent emotion-fueled defensive tweets, the CEO occasionally gets serious. But it also looks like he has some good ideas about the direction pharmaceuticals should go, as far as transparency and new treatments are concerned.

For example, right after Turing acquired the US marketing rights to Daraprim, Shkreli tweeted about the importance of developing drugs to treat neglected tropical diseases.

Spending a lot of time focusing on rare infections. African trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, Chagas. The world needs more treatments.

He also discussed his business strategy for rewarding scientists who develop new treatments for Turing. Shkreli said he will give the scientists a royalty, or payment based on how much of the drug is sold. His tweet claims very few pharmaceutical companies do this.

Did you know that scientists who invent brand new molecules for Turing share in the revenue by way of a royalty? Few if any pharmas do this.
Martin Shkreli (@MartinShkreli) August 10, 2015

He then elaborated on what that might look like.



We pay scientists 1-2% royalties. If you make a $1b drug, you deserve $10-$20m/y for 10 years. Most CEOs are too jealous to let that happen.

Thanks for the tweets, Shkreli.

Seriously. Fuck this retarded asshole.

Wasn't it ALbania that once had 1/4 of it's GDP tied up in a Ponzi scheme?

aids

Pyrimethamine /paɪrɪmɛθeɪmiːn/ (trade name Daraprim) is a medication used for protozoal infections. It is commonly used as an antimalarial drug (for both treatment and prevention of malaria), and to treat Toxoplasma gondii infections, particularly when combined with the sulfonamide antibiotic sulfadiazine when treating HIV-positive individuals.

you meant potassium chloride?

seems he will be raking it in off the aids

He'll wind up being found dead.

This is like bizarro white collar Florida news. I hope he gets his in some sort of 'final destination' manner.

Some people, such as this guy, are not fit to be members of society.

I'm struggling to come to terms with this.

That's actually a good point. Bad business practice on his part. Why increase the pill by that much (I think I read it was 5000%), when you can increase the price to something which is still affordable and keep potential customers alive? Yeah, because if nobody can afford the pill and everyone dies, he won't have anyone to sell the pill to.

Kinda want that to happen to just to teach him a lesson.

 

[Heinz]

He calls the journalist, who had a right to a fucking good answer, a moron. What does that tell you uh? He is the fucking moron.

I say this with great Aussie fervour, fuck you mate youre a real cunt!

This guy will get his one day, don't worry.
