The now infamous man who raised the price of a common drug for HIV and AIDS patients by over 5,000 percent has perhaps run into a bit of karmic justice after a rival company has vowed to make a $1 alternative of the same medication.
STILL a leading candidate for "2015 Douchebag of the Year!" http://t.co/ZbdPCpvcWE #MartinShkreli #TuringPharmaceuticals #Daraprim #twerp

Last month, Martin Shkreli spiked the price of the life-saving medicine Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill, arguably becoming the most hated man in America. His interaction with the public ever since has been, in a word – strange.
Martin Shkreli comes across kind of stupid. http://t.co/WcyM8rG0jQ

But last Thursday, a San Diego-based pharmaceutical company, Imprimis, lowered the price of their Daraprim alternative to $1 a pill. However, we’ll have to see whether it’ll have the intended effect without FDA approval, which the alternative does not yet have.
Eat your heart out @MartinShkreli: @ImprimisPharma's alternative to the $750-per-pill Daraprim, is just $1 a pop.https://t.co/0AotmRg4T5

Yo @MartinShkreli, Your company's done, bro. The free market lowered the price of your product from $750 to $1. SMITE!
