More Bad News for a Bad Boy: Martin Shkreli
Shkreli resigned overnight as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, one day after federal authorities charged him in an unrelated securities fraud scheme.
The privately held company said Ron Tilles, chairman of the biopharmaceutical firm, will serve as interim CEO while retaining his current position.
“We wish to thank Martin for helping us build Turing Pharmaceuticals into the dynamic research focused company it is today, and wish him the best in his future endeavors, Mr Tilles said in a statement. “At the same time, I am very excited about the opportunity to guide Turing Pharmaceuticals forward.”
Shkreli has called himself “the world’s most eligible bachelor” on Twitter — and just days before his bust bragged, “I’m the most successful Albanian to ever walk the face of this Earth.”
