The allegations are separate from what landed 'Pharma Bro' Shkreli behind bars, though the drug at the center of the case is the same.
“Pharma bro” Martin Shkreli was sued Monday by U.S. officials and the state of New York, who are accusing him of violating antitrust law when he jacked up the price of a crucial drug by 4,000% overnight in 2015.
The suit seeks to permanently ban Shkreli and Mulleady from working for a pharmaceutical company or owning any part of one. It also seeks money for people who overpaid for the drug.Shkreli was ousted from Retrophin in 2014 and started Turing Pharmaceuticals the following year. While operating the biopharmaceutical business, Shkreli acquired a drug called Daraprim, a once-affordable anti-infective for a sometimes deadly parasitic infection.
“We won’t allow ‘pharma bros’ to manipulate the market and line their pockets at the expense of vulnerable patients,” James said in a statement.
