$INMB Yes, Martin Shkreli shorted INmune Bio (INMB). Regulators have formally alleged that Shkreli built a short position in INmune Bio during his recent livestreamed trading challenges.
Shkreli has publicly targeted the company on social media and his livestreams, laying out an extensive short thesis against INMB's lead Alzheimer's drug candidate, XPro1595. He predicted a 90% crash in the stock price, arguing that the clinical data was weak and that the drug's mechanism (TNF-alpha inhibition) would fail in clinical trials.
This specific short position has also caused him legal trouble. In October 2026, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and several states filed a motion to hold Shkreli in contempt of court. Regulators argue that his short positions in biotech companies like INMB, Cassava Sciences, and Capricor Therapeutics violate his existing lifetime ban from participating directly or indirectly in the pharmaceutical industry.
