24 September 2015 - Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli has been called plenty of names this week, including some expletives: Public Enemy No. 1, a villain, the most hated man in America/the Internet/the world. Even Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump jumped in, ripping the 32-year-old former hedge fund manager as a "spoiled brat."
It's one thing for your critics to pile on when you've done something distasteful like jack up the price of a life-saving drug 4,000 percent overnight, but in Shkreli's case his supposed friends took their own stabs at their former "pharma bro."
In the hours after Shkreli's defiant, hot-headed Tweets and TV interviews went viral, leaders of the country's powerful drug industry trade group got together to determine whether they should weigh in and, if so, what they should say.
