The company plans to use the bankruptcy period to “evaluate its strategic alternatives” and to develop a restructuring plan, according to documents filed with the United States bankruptcy court for the District of Delaware.

Shkreli gained notoriety when, as the chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals, he raised the price of a drug used to treat a unsafe parasitic infection to $750 a tablet from $13.50. Marcum had audited Retrophin Inc.-a company that Shkreli founded but which is suing him-during the 2013 period when transactions occurred that are now the subject of charges by the SEC and the Justice Department.

Shkreli, 32, is accused of repeatedly losing money for investors and lying to them about it, as well as illegally taking assets from Retrophin to pay off some of those investors.

KaloBios said Tuesday that it has requested an appeal of the decision to delist its securities.
