Martin Shkreli Arrested on Fraud Charges

Karma is a bitch, and she couldn't afford the Premsyn because the price was jacked up.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Yeah, saw this earlier, but it doesn't appear it has much to do with the price of the drugs.

Excessive bail is unconstitutional, but then, with the resources this smug son of a bitch likely has at his disposal, it's likely that his bail will be crazy high by most people's standards.

Looks like the douchefluid didn't get the hint from last time either:

In November, Mr. Shkreli led an investor group that took control of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, a publicly traded California biotech company that was about to go out of business. He is now the chief executive of KaloBios as well, running it separately from the privately held Turing, which is based in Manhattan, though the two companies share several executives.

KaloBios has already set off concerns by licensing the rights to a drug that has been used for decades to treat Chagas disease in Latin America, where the disease is most common. Mr. Shkreli said KaloBios hoped to win approval for the drug in the United States and sell it for around $60,000 to $100,000 for a course of treatment. In Latin America, the drug costs $50 to $100.

He has assembled a legal team that makes OJ Simpson's look like first year law students.

My prediction is he walks then later sues and wins for false arrest.

Sounds like an asshole.

Or if you're an asshole that goes out of your way to bully minorities and call them words with the strict intent of upsetting a demographic that is already at a huge risk of suicide, or being murdered for who they are. :)

Most price gouging laws only apply in limited circumstances like emergencies.

It's nice when your life or living doesn't depend on a drug he jacked up the price on, eh?

He isn't just not caring what other people think, he doesn't care about what happens to other people.

That's not admirable self confidence, that's a terminally large asshole.
