  • The Evil Pharma Schemes of Martin Shkreli

    The Evil Pharma Schemes of Martin Shkreli
    Jul 30 2022
    Warning: This episode is not funny. What it is, is a look at the greed that exists in the world of hedge funds and big pharma, as embodied by one Martin Shkreli, the guy who took a life-saving drug and inflated its price by several thousand percent. However, as disgusting as that was, it was entirely another scheme that landed him in prison.
