Retrophin board member testifies that Shkreli lied to his face during his trial
One of the founding board members of Martin Shkreli’s drug company Retrophin testified against the “Pharma Bro” in federal court on Wednesday claiming that Shkreli lied to his face prior to the company outing him as CEO during the fall of 2014.
“He’s lying to my face,” said Steve Richardson, a founding board member of Retrophin, when he recalled a conversation the two had in September 2014. Richardson said it was the final straw that led to Shkreli being asked to leave the company.
Richardson recalled Skhreli’s responded to his ouster, “He basically said, ‘It’s a weak board, I can get rid of you when I need to.’”
