Martin Shkreli is found guilty of securities fraud
There seems to be a misconception regarding what Shkreli was found guilty of. The legal case here has very little to do with the pharmaceutical pricing controversy - it is a separate case based on a separate hedge fund that he managed. The gist of it is that he took people&#x27;s money to start a hedge fund, lied to investors that the fund was doing fine when the hedge fund went belly up, but ended up returning everyone&#x27;s money plus a sizable return when his separate pharmaceutical venture went well.<p>When fraud happens those affected don&#x27;t usually get their money back much less a return on that money. However, it&#x27;s pretty clear what he did is also fraud (false documents, not returning people&#x27;s money when they asked for it) even if the fact that investors came out better makes the plaintiffs less sympathetic.
