My understanding is that he got busted illegally using money from one of his businesses to prop up another one of his businesses.

He was actually found not guilty of that charge. The charges he was found guilty related to him lying to investors when he lost their money in a hedge fund he operated. According to the jury, he felt bad about this and made them whole by paying them back in stock. All said and done--everyone made money, including some his accusers who made 10x their original investment.

Did we forget that he jacked the price of Daraprim up from 13$ to 750$?

Nobody's saying he's not an asshole, but he wasn't convicted of being an asshole or of raising drug prices.

That wasn't what I was referring to. I was referring to when he jacked up the price of a lifesaving drug from $13 dollars to $750 dollars to increase profits...
Thats profiteering not profiting...

I guess I'm not sure what "getting busted" means, then.
