Martin Shkreli suspended from Twitter after alleged harassment

Mr Shkreli drew criticism in 2015 when his firm, Turing Pharmaceuticals, hiked drug prices. Twitter confirmed to the BBC that his suspension was related to Ms Duca's case. Previously, Ms Duca had tweeted a screenshot of an invitation from Mr Shkreli to Donald Trump's inauguration. Following this, Mr Shkreli posted a tweet calling Ms Duca a "Cold you know what" and published some doctored images of himself and Ms Duca together. Mr Shkreli came to widespread attention after his firm raised the price of Daraprim, used by many Aids patients, from $13.50 per pill to $750. He was arrested in December on allegations of securities fraud and stepped down as the head of Turing Pharmaceuticals.
