In September 2015, Shkreli was widely criticized when Turing obtained the manufacturing license for the antiparasitic drug Daraprim and raised its price from US$13.50 to $750 per pill.
Coincidentally, Smythe broke the news of Shkreli’s arrest in 2015.
In 2017, Shkreli was charged and convicted in federal court on two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiring to commit securities fraud, unrelated to the Daraprim controversy.
Shkreli was sentenced to seven years in federal prison and up to $7.4 million in fines and in the civil case, he was fined a further $64.6 million to be given to victims nationwide.
In 2020, Smythe revealed that she was in a relationship with Shkreli.
