Feds Accuse Pharma Douche Of Destroying Evidence

Law & Crime reports:

The Federal Trade Commission accused disgraced pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli on Tuesday of having destroyed evidence relevant to a lawsuit that could lead to his lifetime ban from the industry.

Regulators claim that the convicted fraudster invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when asked about a phone he used to conduct business from prison.

“It is now clear that Shkreli destroyed messages on at least two phones that were relevant to his ongoing control of Vyera and to the anti-competitive conduct at issue in this case,” the commission’s assistant director Markus Meier wrote in a three-page letter on Tuesday.
