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.”
