The Federal Trade Commission and seven states have asked a federal judge to hold Martin Shkreli in contempt for repeatedly violating a 2022 court order banning him for life from the pharmaceutical industry. Since his release from prison in May 2022, Shkreli has publicly traded pharmaceutical stocks and commented on the industry, actions prohibited by the order. The ban followed a civil case where Shkreli was found to have orchestrated an anti-competitive scheme by drastically raising the price of the drug Daraprim. The FTC warns that further violations could lead to financial penalties or incarceration, emphasizing the seriousness of enforcing the lifetime ban.
