What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Federal Trade Commission and seven states have asked Judge Denise Cote to hold Martin Shkreli in contempt and issue a fine. This action stems from allegations that Shkreli violated a lifetime ban from the pharmaceutical industry by trading stocks in at least 60 pharmaceutical companies and publicly commenting on their businesses since May 2022. Shkreli publicized these activities through live streams on platforms like YouTube.
