Has the patent expired yet?

Yes, about 50 years ago.


Then what's the problem? Why isn't there knock offs to make this shit cheaper?

The cost to develop a generic far outweighs the money that'd be made from the very few people that need this drug. Drug companies aren't charities. A generic in this case would have to cost even more.

Shkreli bought the USA rights to the drug for dirt cheap because the previous owner wasn't even going to make it anymore.
