Martin Shkreli who is the pharmaceutical executive is facing US charges of securities fraud, lost control of his Twitter account to hackers on Sunday. However after several hours of battle, he got his Twitter account back. He pleaded his innocence.
Craig Stevens who is the official spokesman for Turing Pharmaceuticals said, "It was clearly hacked. We have been working with Twitter to get it fixed. Earlier Shkreli gained notoriety this year when Turing hiked the price of an anti-infective drug often taken by people with AIDS.
He was arrested on account of fraud charges and he was immediately released on bail. And on weekend, he was consistently tweeting that the allegations against him were false and rumour. Now it was also checked by his team whether his YouTube live stream is also hacked.
One of the tweet from hacked member reads as, "Anyone want free money? Willing to donate hundreds of thousands to charities before I go to prison ..." And the next tweet said, "I am now a God.." A spokesperson from Twitter Inc., said the company can not comment on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons.
