NEW YORK, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Former Turing Pharmaceuticals chief executive, and the person some refer to as "The Most Hated Man in America," said over the weekend that he's been scammed out of $15 million for trying to buy an album by rapper Kanye West.
Martin Shkreli, who became known last year when his company raised the price of Daraprim by 5,000 percent, said he paid $15 million for Wet's album, "Life of Pablo," directly from the label. But the person he paid the money to, he says, was a scammer.
