Shares of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals Inc KBIO have been halted since the company's controversial CEO Martin Shkreli was arrested on fraud charges on December 17.
KaloBios has since fired Shkreli and on Monday appealed a decision by the Nasdaq exchange to delist its shares.
In the most recent development, KaloBios filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with a Delaware bankruptcy court on Tuesday.
