Mar­tin Shkre­li push­es back on life­time pub­lic com­pa­ny ban from prison cell in bid to get back to busi­ness

De­spite serv­ing his stint be­hind bars, the Mar­tin Shkre­li saga con­tin­ues to sprout legs with new law­suits pop­ping up. Now, in an­tic­i­pa­tion of be­ing a free man once again, Shkre­li is push­ing back on a fed­er­al ban that would seek to keep him out of a pub­lic com­pa­ny’s board­room for the rest of his life.

Shkre­li’s lawyers hope to re­scind the for­mer Retrophin CEO’s life­time ban from the SEC on serv­ing as a di­rec­tor or of­fi­cer of a pub­licly trad­ed com­pa­ny, ar­gu­ing that oth­er dis­graced ex­ec­u­tives have re­ceived much more le­nient 10-year bans, ac­cord­ing to a brief filed in a NY court­room.
