There's an interview with the journalist who wrote that piece for Elle. Seems fairly legit, at least from the journalist's persective. The photoshoot was a surpise to her too:

Thanks for posting that - I disagree entirely that its fairly legit, and if anything I feel even more uncomfortable about the original article than I did before, but at least it does honestly relate how these journalists see themselves (and nowhere better than in this bit):
Which (to me at least) reads as if its "I am going to make money out of you; you understand that, right?"

Last time I checked the drug company hadn't lowered the price back down to a more reasonable level after Shkreli's arrest. They get the best of both worlds. They can blame the price increase on someone else and still make major money from it.

Yep, Martin Shkreli's 5,000 Percent Drug Price Hike Is Still In Effect
Daraprim, used to treat AIDS, malaria and cancer patients, once cost $13.50 a pill. Now it costs $750 a pill.

I think there is a good case for a state manufacturing plant, both for orphans and heavily used medications.
I worked in the industry, it is murky.

An orphan drug is one like daraprim, a drug with limited usage, but the only one available to treat the condition.

One of the most expensive orphans is dantrolene. it is used to treat malignant hyperthermia.

Not so many incidents since halothane stopped being the anaesthetic of choice, even then very very uncommon.
We kept it, and replaced it when it went out of date, never saw it used.

The group that bought it can share it amongst themselves but not release it to the general public under the terms of purchase due to copyright law. So it will be interesting to see how they do it.Once Upon A Time In Shaolin to get second life?

Looks like a "pump and dump":
If this isn't illegal, it should be. I do wonder, however, why anyone would trust investing money in a scheme cooked up by a man willing to let sick people die to line his own pockets. If he's willing to do that, why would he balk at screwing anyone else?

That would amount to regulation of crypto, which might be less popular than the pump’n’dumps.

"After Shkreli signed on in October with the Queens-based nonprofit Hour Children — which helps incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and their children — he failed to hit his 20-hour-per-month community service mark, the papers say.
Shkreli told probation officials Hour Children “was not responsive with giving him a schedule to complete the community service and that their availability did not work with his weekday schedule,” Probation Officer Ivette Farfan wrote"

They try to, there were some fairly shady practices going on whilst Pfizer had Lyrica (Pregabalin) still on patent and Ozempic/Wegovy (semaglutide) is very much subject to similar market manipulation as far as I can tell.That's fucked up.

Ozempic in particular can be exceptionally difficult to get hold of on occasion. My pharmacist does a remarkable job locating any at all some months.

Shkreli, the investor and convicted securities fraudster widely referred to as “Pharma Bro,” has claimed that he and Barron Trump, the former president’s youngest son, are behind the launch of the mysterious DJT crypto token, following a rally in the price of the meme coin on rumors of its purported link to Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican candidate in a third consecutive presidential election.
