Re: The doctor who convinced Mark Cuban to sell drugs
#3To summarize this and bypass the clickbait title: Dr. Alex Oshmyansky, a child prodigy with a PhD in mathematics and a MD (worked in radiology) decided the 3 or so jobs/fellowships he was juggling weren't enough and decided to start a company selling cheaper drugs, failing a couple times in getting funding and ultimately opening a public benefit corporation, backed by Mark Cuban, who valued the concept of the project and committed strongly to it. So far the company has been moving along nicely (though it's still young).
TL;DR: Mark Cuban is funding Dr. Alex Oshmyansky's drug public-benefit company, making it less susceptible to the typical big-pharma buyouts that destroy other such companies

#4As if convincing Cuban is a great feat - he was also convinced to have the Mavericks partner with Voyager, a cryptocurrency platform which is now bankrupt.

It's almost as if the Russ Hannemann parody of Cuban in Silicon Valley was based on real life!

It's almost as if not all start ups/business/investments become successful, shock!
But here stands a man who is successful and does good things.

#8> When healthcare CEO Martin Shkreli increased the cost of his company’s antiparasitic drug by 5,455 percent (from $13.50 to $750 per pill) in 2015, many were outraged. But Oshmyansky acted, because that’s what he does.
I guess Shkreli was good for something after all.

#9Quite Inspirational; a man who had the courage to act on his convictions.

Promoting a Ponzi scheme and scamming consumers is a bit worse than a typical business failure. But sure, he does "good things."
