Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli Arrested for Fraud

Remember Martin Shkreli, the CEO who became the most-hated man in America for jacking the prices of generic lifesaving medicinal drugs? Well, karna is a bitch as he's been arrested by the FBI for serious cases of securities fraud.

Shkreli gained notoriety after his company, Turing Pharmaceuticals jacked or increased the prices of lifesaving drugs from basic $13.50 to a whooping $750.  The story goes that Turing Pharmaceuticals bought the rights to the drug called "Daraprim" which was used to treat toxoplasmosis and malaria. Before acquisition, Daraprim's price was said to be $13.50 per pill but the moment Shkreli and Turing got its hands on it, it was increased to $750

Just hours ago though, he was accused of taking funds from a biotech company he started (but was later kicked out of) to pay debts from another business. According to sources, the company that he allegedly stole from, Retrophin, filed an earlier case against the CEO last August. This time however, they had the evidence needed as Shkreli lost more than $7 million on the hedge fund business he did back in 2011.

This is also Shkreli's third arrest in a four-month time span.

Aside from notoriety for being a real world troll, Shkreli also angered fans as he was responsible for the non-release of a supposed new Wu-Tang Clan album entitled Once Upon a Time in Shaolin which only had one album produced. The highly-anticipated album was won by Shkreli in a bidding where the winner gets to do whatever he / she / it wants with it.

Apparently, Shkreli doesn't know the meaning of the word "share" and the album is still under his protection at the moment.

It was our professor’s special request to wear Christmas-related costumes, that’s why this is what my classmate wore. She really had to sit near the electrical outlet (to light up her costume). She really had to risk her life just to get the bonus points. P.S. To those who are worried, she was completely safe. Our professor and my classmate made sure that what she dis was safe.

MORALIST OR PRESIDENT?

(My reaction to Gab Valenciano's FB post )

Many anti-Duterte focus on the issue of morality. But the real question is - do we need a good role model or a capable President? Simple lang naman po ito, our country is so sick and we need a good doctor to help us. And here come the moralists questioning the doctor's righteousness and morality? Shouldn't we be more concerned about the doctor's experience and capability to treat disease and illness? Now do you get my point? If you want a morally "righteous" leader then let's vote for the priests and the religious people. Now how do you catch drug pushers? How do you pursue corrupt policemen and politicians? How do you put an end to the LAGLAG BALA syndicate? Call the priests?Morality should not be the deciding factor in choosing our next president. MORAL STANDARDS mean different things to different people according to their belief. What is morally right to you might be morally wrong to me, and what is morally wrong to you might be morally right to me.

Mr. GAB VALENCIANO, I remember you posted a few months ago on your FB that you "don't owe it (Philippines) a thing" and now here you are tweeting your sentiments toward our country - "how socially uneducated the country has become. What has happened to my fellow countrymen? It’s so sad". (@gabvalenciano twitter)
Wala ka namang alam sa tunay na kalagayan na mga Pilipino because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and you are not even here. You don't know what's really happening in our streets. Our country is radically ill and we need a radical leader to create radical change. We need a leader who's willing to sacrfice himself for the sake of his country.

Eto ang tanong, ano ba ang kailangan natin MORALISTA O PRESIDENTE?
"I do not care if I burn in hell for as long as the people I serve live in paradise" - Davao City Mayor Rody Duterte.

Woman Humiliates Guy with Chivalry is Dead, Gets Called out Instead

Trending on social media today is a story of a girl who goes online to humiliate a guy with the "chivalry is dead" card only to be called out by a famous Facebook page for being an asshole.

The story goes that a certain lady named Paolo Kristal Gardon went online and posted a photo of a hapless dude who was seated in the MRT. In the caption, she states proceeds to humiliate the unwitting guy calling him UNATTRACTIVE and a NON-GENTLEMAN.

So what's the big deal? Apparently she wanted this guy to offer up his seat at the MRT but probably got the cold shoulder, which is understandable because its his seat to give. This lady though thinks that it is her right to be offered a seat EVERYTIME which is why she made the costly mistake of ranting about this on Facebook. 

What was the fallout from her post? The Senyora Santibanez Facebook fanpage picked up the story and went on to give this lady a sound trashing. 

I wonder how this will pan out?

We'd love to comment but its not our place to do so as we just deliver the hottest trending news in the Philippines.

ANTI-DUTERTE NA AKALA MO INOSENTE
(by MOCHA USON)

I just can’t believe what I read about a blog of an OPM artist bashing DUTERTE calling him a very immoral person.…
This OPM artist is very well-known and is considered as an icon in the music industry. He has very close ties with the AQUINOs and has a very religious public image.
