AREA TO NAIL HIM.
LIVE IN ENGLEWOOD TONIGHT,
SCOTT RAPOPORT, CBS 2 NEWS.
THANK YOU.
WE HAVE NEW INFORMATION TONIGHT
IN THE SECURITY FRAUD CASE
AGAINST FORMER DRUG COMPANY CEO
MARTIN SHKRELI.
THERE WAS A MIXED VERDICT THIS
AFTERNOON AT HIS TRIAL IN
BROOKLYN.
FEDERAL JURORS CONVICTED
SHKRELI ON THREE OF THE EIGHT
COUNTS AGAINST HIM.
PROSECUTORS SAID HE LOOTED ONE
DRUG COMPANY HE FOUNDED TO PAY
BACK INVESTORS IN HIS TWO
FAILED HEDGE FUNDS.
SHKRELI BECAME NOTORIOUS WHEN
HE RAISED THE POTENTIAL A LIFE
SAVING DRUG BY 5,000%.
HE SPOKE TODAY AFTER THE
VERDICT.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANYTHING THAT SHOWS THE
APPEARANCE OF THE GOVERNMENT
TRYING TO SQUEEZE YOU AND
STANDING UP TO THEM AND I THINK
TODAY PROVED THAT AGAIN,
NOTWITHSTANDING THEIR ENTIRE --
ALL THE RESOURCES OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WE FOUGHT
BACK AND FEEL LIKE WE WON.
