Business: As Usual
Bloomberg: TV Appearances (4)
"If there was a company that was selling an Aston
Martin at the price of a bicycle, and we buy that
company and we ask to charge Toyota prices, I don’t
think that that should be a crime".
Martin Shkreli
In late November Shkreli appeared on Bloomberg TV. On
the show, he claimed he didn't pay attention to the stock
market at all also that he saw "no reason or need" to reverse
merger Turing Pharmaceuticals and KaloBios. Further he
said they were in talks for three separate acquisitions in rare
diseases:
One: FDA approved drug and
Two: not-yet approved drugs.
George Scangos, CEO of biotechnology giant Biogen Inc.,
went further saying in an interview,
“Turing is to a research-based company like a loan shark is
to a legitimate bank.”
