In September 2015, Shkreli received widespread scrutiny for raising the prices on anti-parasitic drug Daraphrim by 5000% from $13.50 to $750 a pill. The move was criticized by numerous organizations, and candidates of the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump. This lead to him being coined the "Most Hated Man in America". Some people described him has "having a punchable face", and one person even threw what was apparently dog feces at Shkreli's face. | |||
Shkreli is also infamous for obtaining the only copy of the Wu-Tang Clan album, ''Once Upon a Time in Shaolin'', where he adamantly refuses to release the album and threatens to destroy the album. However, the copy was seized by law enforcement, and Shkreli is no longer the owner of it. | |||
