The so-called "Pharma Bro" smirked his way through a US Congressional hearing about his decision to hike the price of an AIDS drug by 5,500 percent, refusing to answer any questions.  Afterwards, Martin Shkreli tweeted an insult to lawmakers.  Once you've landed your dream gig via CareerSpot's ExecutiveCareer listings, don't do anything Martin Shkreli would do.

In the past, Shkreli has enjoyed shooting off his mouth as publicly as possible.  But the 32-year old former chief of Turing Pharmaceuticals repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's hearing over the price of Daraprim.  The drug is used to treat the parasitic condition toxoplasmosis, which can occur in pregnant women and people with the HIV virus.  It used to cost US$13.50 per pill, but Shkreli raised the price to $750, a move that provoked widespread outrage.  The bad publicity eventually led Turing to scrape him off.

Shkreli wore his characteristic self-satisfied grin and took the Fifth, when Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) asked him what he would say to a pregnant woman with AIDS who needed his company's medication but couldn't afford it.  Worse yet, he smirked and rolled his eyes when Maryland Democrat and Civil Rights Movement legend Rep. Elijah Cummings attempted to appeal to Shkreli's sense of morality - which apparently didn't find its way to the hearing.  "It's not funny, Mr. Shkreli," Rep. Cummings yelled, "People are dying.  And they're getting sicker and sicker."

After angering some of the most powerful people in Washington, DC, Shkreli later tweeted, "Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government."

Separately, Shkreli denies criminal charges he looted another pharmaceutical company, Retrophin, in order to pay off investors at a hedge funds he is also suspected of defrauding.  In court in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday, a judge told Shkreli that the investment account he used to secure bail on those earlier charges had lost some US$40 Million since his arrest in December, and is now likely worth less than his $5 Million bond.

One would hope that Karma is coming for Mr. Shkreli, and it isn't going to be pretty.
