There was a big controversy about it: https://www.sciencehistory.org/historical-profile/frederick-banting-charles-best-james-collip-and-john-macleod

Best and Collip did sell the patent for $1, however (Banting and MacLeod didn't even want their names on a patent for it). https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587%287%2930115-8/fulltext
