Martin Shkreli’s old school debates what to do with $1 million donation after his arrest

The pharma bro’s old school might be giving back his drug money.

Hunter College High School is debating what to do with a $1 million donation from former student Martin Shkreli, the reviled pharmaceuticals executive who is now entangled in legal turmoil, the New York Times reported Saturday.

Shkreli, 32, gifted the giant sum to the elite Manhattan school in March, making it the biggest individual donation in its history. The eventual Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO did not even graduate from Hunter — he left early with bad grades, only to earn a diploma elsewhere — but said he still felt an affinity for the school.

“I really cleaned up in the business world. I have to give thanks,” he told the Daily News at the time.
