As part of a settlement in a class action suit, Vyera Pharmaceuticals LLC and its parent company, Phoenixus AG, of Baar, Switzerland, agreed last week to pay up to $28 million to a proposed class of third-party payers that covered Daraprim (pyrimethamine).
Claiming that convicted felon Martin Shkreli continues to exert control over Vyera Pharmaceuticals LLC from prison, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is seeking sanctions against the former hedge fund manager for intentionally destroying text and WhatsApp messages on his company-issued phone and a contraband phone years after he was instructed to preserve all documents potentially relevant to an ongoing antitrust investigation and litigation.
The so-called pharma bro Martin Shkreli’s trials are far from over. The former hedge fund manager, biopharma CEO and now convicted felon is facing a class action lawsuit led by Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
