Turing CEO Martin Shkreli has agreed to lower the price of Daraprim after every news outlet, citizen, and even Hillary Clinton vilified him following a 5000% price hike on the drug. When everyone calls you an evil douchebag and you respond by tweeting Wu-Tang and Eminem lyrics, people are going to continue to call you a douchebag. It also doesn't help when you come from a hedge fund background and try to defend astronomically raising the price of a trusted drug used by AIDS and cancer patients. Humanity tends to side with the ill and vulnerable over an anthropomorphic weasel in a suit jacket.
