Martin Shkreli co-founded Elea Capital, MSMB Capital Management, MSMB Healthcare, and Retrophin, and founded Turing Pharmaceuticals and Gödel Systems. He previously served as CEO of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals. On March 9, 2018, he was sentenced to seven years in federal prison following his 2017 conviction. In January 2022, a federal court ordered him to pay $64.6 million and barred him from the pharmaceutical industry for life in an antitrust case brought by the FTC and seven states, a ban that a federal appeals court upheld in January 2024. A U.S. district judge also ordered him on February 23, 2022, to pay a $1.39 million fine for violating securities laws between 2009 and 2014, and banned him for life from serving as an officer or director of any publicly traded company. Turing Pharmaceuticals, later renamed Vyera Pharmaceuticals, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 10, 2023.

Martin Shkreli was formerly affiliated with Druglike, described as a planned Web3/crypto drug-discovery software platform, though the domain currently resolves to a GoDaddy sale page rather than an operating product. He was also previously affiliated with Martin Shkreli Inu, a cryptocurrency project that reportedly lost 90% of its value in August 2022 after an account believed to belong to him sold holdings; that account claimed it had been hacked. In June 2024, during an X Spaces event, Shkreli claimed that he and Barron Trump created the Trump-branded DJT crypto token, a claim Donald Trump had not confirmed and for which no public proof was disclosed. Arkham had offered a $150,000 bounty to identify who was behind the DJT crypto asset.

Martin Shkreli has also been involved in legal proceedings with PleasrDAO, a cryptocurrency collective that purchased the Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin for $4.75 million after Shkreli forfeited it. PleasrDAO sued Shkreli in June 2024 alleging he retained and disseminated digital copies of the album. A federal judge ordered him in August 2024 to turn over all copies, stop streaming additional content from it, and report recipients and related revenues by September 30, 2024.
