In September, electronics conglomerate Toshiba admitted that it had overstated its earnings by nearly $2 billion over seven years, more than four times its initial estimate in April.<\/p>\n<p>CEO and President Hisao Tanaka resigned from the firm, and an independent investigators found<\/p>\n<p>that \u201cToshiba had a corporate culture in which management decisions could not be challenged\u201d and \u201cEmployees were pressured into inappropriate accounting by postponing loss reports or moving certain costs into later years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Valeant\u2019s Secret Division<\/p>\n<p>In October, short seller Andrew Left accused drug company Valeant of using a specialty pharmacy company Philidor to artificially inflate its sales. Valeant denied the charges. But the fact that Valeant had never discussed its close ties to Philidor raised questions about Valeant\u2019s, and Philidor\u2019s, sales practices. It also shook investors\u2019 confidence in the acquisitive drug company, which had racked up debt as it did deals.<\/p>\n<p>Valeant (VRX, +1.28%) could still be on the hook if Philidor broke any laws. Valeant employees appear to have worked at Philidor under aliases to hide their identities. And Valeant had paid $100 million for an undisclosed option to acquire Philidor for no additional dollars whenever it wanted, essentially giving Valeant ownership of the company.<\/p>\n<p>Valeant has appointed a special committee of its board, and an outside investigator, to look into the company\u2019s ties to Philidor, but it has yet to report its findings. Valeant said that Philidor sales never amounted to more than 7% of its total sales. Valeant\u2019s shares fell 75% in the wake of these revelations, to just over $70 from a high of $260.<\/p>\n<p>Also contributing to the stock fall was the fact that Valeant had been accused over the summer of price gouging, buying up drugs and then rapidly raising their prices. A number of members of Congress, including presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, have called for an investigation into the company\u2019s drug pricing practices. And in early October, the company confirmed that it had received a federal subpoena.<\/p>\n<p>Many well known hedge funders, including Bill Ackman, who has defended the company, suffered big losses on Valeant stock in the wake of the scandal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Turing Pharmaceuticals and Martin Shkreli<\/p>\n<p>Martin Shkreli became known as the bad boy of the drug industry after his drug company, Turing, increased the price of a 62-year-old drug that treated HIV patients by 5,000% to $750 a pill. But it\u2019s what he did before that could land him in jail.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-December, the government arrested Shkreli on charges of stock fraud related to his activities while at Retrophin, the drug company he ran before Turing. The former hedge fund manager is accused of using shares of Retrophin to pay off investors who had lost money with a hedge fund he ran in the past. The government described Shkreli\u2019s alleged behaviour as similar to a ponzi scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Shkreli, who maintains he is innocent, says there is little evidence of fraud because his investors didn\u2019t lose money. Shkreli, who has been defiant on Twitter about the allegations against him, bought the sole copy of a Wu-Tang Clan album for $2 million. He has had called himself the most successful Albanian. Mother Teresa, also an Albanian, presumably would not be proud.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Reference<\/p>\n<p>Matthews, C &amp; Gandel, S 2015 \u2018The 5 biggest corporate scandals of 2015\u2019, Fortune, 28 December, viewed 9 March 2017, &lt;http:\/\/fortune.com\/2015\/12\/27\/biggest-corporate-scandals-2015\/&gt;<\/p>\n<p>COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA Copyright Regulations 1969<\/p>\n<p>This material has been reproduced and communicated to you by or on behalf of Kaplan Business School pursuant to Part VB of the Copyright Act 1968 (\u2018Act\u2019).
