Martin Shkreli: I'm not upset about HIV drug hike; it was 'woefully underpriced'
Former pharmaceutical executive tells Financial Times his only obligation is to his shareholders, and claims antidepressant he takes has made me invincible

Martin Shkreli, the poster-boy for price-gouging pharmaceutical executives, regularly uses a drug which costs as little as 17 cents a pill, he said in an interview on Thursday.
In a wide-ranging conversation with the Financial Times, Shkreli said that he uses a version of an antidepressant called Effexor.
. . .
Shkreli, an entrepreneur and hedge fund founder, became the focus of public furore last year when he acquired the drug Daraprim, which is used in the treatment of aids and cancer patients, and hiked the cost of a pill from $13.50 to $750.
. . .
To me the drug was woefully underpriced, he said. It is not a question of Is this fair? or What did you pay for it? or When was it invented? It should be more expensive in many ways.

come down with with the most loathsome, painful and debilitating disease ever imagined, and I alone have the cure. I wouldn't sell it him for a penny. But I would give to him, no charge.

coming from someone charged with bilking investors.
