He’s not just an asshole, he’s also an idiot. Raising the price that far above the cost of somebody else getting their generic approved is a stupid, loosing game. As has been shown. It is a poor parasite that kills its host, which in this case he has. If he had raised his price just enough that nobody else would go to the trouble to undercut him he would still be a douche, but he wouldn’t have been an idiot. Instead he overpaid for an asset and then tried to get every penny he could before he destroyed it. That’s what these business “geniuses” DO.
