By Adam Wagner

December 11, 2015

At this point, we all know Martin Shkreli as the price-hiking, pharmaceutical bad-boy that recently acquired the drug Daraprim (pyrimethamine)—a drug used to treat AIDS patients—and hiked the price up 5,500% from $13.50 a tablet to $750. But few know Shkreli, who grew up in Brooklyn, NY, as the owner of the one of a…
