Blue Cross settles class action suit naming 'pharma bro' Martin Shkreli for $28M

Shkreli controversially raised the price of the drug Daraprim, which is used to treat a potentially fatal parasitic infection, by 4,000%, from $13.50 to $750 per pill in 2015. In January, a federal judge banned him from the pharmaceutical industry for life.
