From BBC News: Martin Shkreli, the former drug firm executive who ordered dramatic price hikes of a life-saving medicine, has been barred from the industry for life. In a decision on Friday, Judge Denise Cote ordered him to repay $64.6m (£47m) in profits he made from the scheme. She ruled that Mr Shkreli's actions had violated laws against monopolies. Mr Shkreli is currently serving a prison sentence for defrauding investors.

There's a follow up to that journalist/ pharma bro article

Christie Smythe, 24 Hours Later

"What did people want to know?

Oh, everything. I mean, they wanted to know about my decisions about leaving Bloomberg, if I had changed to a different beat, they wanted to know about Martin—the moderator did a good job of trying to keep it away from just an argument about Martin. I offered some of my thoughts about the drug pricing thing, which I'm not a fan of, of course I've never been supportive of that, and his harassment of women online, which of course is also very distressing."
