You are right, it does sound sleazy and the media could be leaving out some information.
Then there is the fact he has done it before and lowered the price after the frenzy. Don't get me wrong, i'm all for people making a profit, however there has to be a limit to how much they can gouge the price.
I don't disagree with them recouping and profiting, however $750k a pa drugs should land the CEOs in the slammer IMO of course.
