The most hated Albanian in the world, that's what the inhabitants of Shkrel Village say about him

The pharmaceutical entrepreneur, Albanian Martin Shkreli, has been named “the most hated man in America”. In his village from which he got his last name, this has brought pride and shame, writes in a long coverage by “Reuters” for his native village.

34-year-old Shkreli, former executive director of the drug company, says earlier he is the most successful Albanian in the world, conveys albinfo.ch. But in the village of birth, Shkrell, they are divided in two around him. He is accused of rising the prices of a healing shepherd for about 5,000 percent, and is now on trial for fraud in New York.

The Albanian had raised the price of the healing bar to $750 for a capsule of $13.50 as it was originally. This had irritated many patients in the United States. It is being tried for investor fraud while managing two funds and a drug company “Retrophin” between 2009 and 2014.

Many oppose it, for more than half of Albania's three million inhabitants, it is a model. Most would like to leave Albania for a better life. But most were unaware that he had said he is the most financially successful Albanian than Mother Teresa, prompting many reactions to social networks. Some have remembered the Church family.

They have said this family had moved to Montenegro a long time ago before they went to America during the 1960s. Martin Shkrell was born and raised in Brooklyn, where other immigrants from Shkrell ended up.
