Never said she was ratting out underlings. But, to get that deal something seems a bit weird.

Vagina pass.
She was the female “lean in” savior they all wanted. Everybody had her speaking and hosting events.

Now they’ve got to crucify her, and I don’t see that happening.

Sounds like typical Silicon Valley ethics.

Martin Shkreli is the guy who purchased Turing Pharmaceutical because he realized that they were the sole source for the toxoplamosis drug Daraprim, developed back in 1952.

Since there is no alternate source for the med he was able to raise the price from $13.50 a pill to $750.

Ahhhhhh ..... Got it. I do recall her being touted as some sort of Superhero for her “success”. Just painful to know that so many of these people get away with this crap, while some Joe 6-Pack, get grilled by the IRS over a deduction.

Yep. And none of that was illegal. But they went after him because of it. Or maybe it was because the government REALLY wanted his Wu Tang Clan album?
