Martin Shkreli Arrested on Fraud Charges

[Yumyumsuppertime]

I don't know if he's innocent or guilty but I love the guy...who doesn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks.

"I love a guy who will jack up the costs of a life-saving drug to such a degree that it will be absolutely unaffordable for the uninsured, and will drastically boost insurance rates for everyone else!"

IF he made his company money it is justified, as a CEO he has a duty to make investors like me money, I would have fired him and replaced him with someone else if he did not do this.

*shrugs* Then if his actions lead to killing a family member; then he is fair game.

[Barbarossistan]

Wonder if the judge will say what his bail is then jack it up to some ridiculous amount just like the prick did with the medicine

his lawyer did that, rasising his fee 5000% to 60k/hour

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

Which is an enormous issue with the health industry being subject to the free market. However, in this particular case, he wasn't even a very good capitalist. His antics caused enormous damage to the image of the company, and even if you consider nothing but the bottom line, the nature of the legal issues surrounding the drug allowed another company to drastically undercut his prices, which in turn caused the stock to tank. Also, he caused further federal attention to be paid to the matter of drug pricing, which nobody in the industry wanted. He's all sizzle and no steak, and if the current allegations are correct, he's actually a lousy investor and a clumsy criminal.

As a CEO it's justified, but as a human being he's still utter scum.

[Dinake]

Didn't the attorney he had on retainer immediately jack his price up?

That would be beautifully hilarious if that did indeed happen.

[Kar-Esseria]

Good. He has a very punchable face, and people with very punchable faces tend to be assholes. He's certainly getting what he deserves, even if it isn't for the hiked drug prices.

That kind of a CEO IS less than a human being. Must be living under an expensive rock.

He's out of jail. That punchable face is attached to a big asshole that should bekicked hard and often. Have at it Feds. Ponzi scheme future roomate in prison for Bernie Madoff. Sweet.

[Luziyca]

Thank God.

[Exelia]

Well, there goes the chance of pharmaceutical reform.

As long as this smug prick was out there doing dick moves, the media would keep reporting on it and something would happen in Congress. Now it will be swept underneath the rug.

[The Alexanderians]

And here's my daily dose of Vitamin Schadenfreude for the day.

Indeed, I'm not supposed to feel joy at another's pain but...F*** that guy.

[Zoice]

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.

Not everyone needs to be concerned with others to be a good person.

Also he is thinking about the investors in his company, we are like family to him so of course we take precedent over others.

On the one hand, he made rich people richer. On the other hand, he's draining money from poor sick people. Fulfilling obligations to your bosses isn't the same thing as being a good person.

Good I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

I'm pretty sure everyone's thinking this. His arrest hoodie though.....

Finally he's arrested. We've been waiting for this!

Martin Shkreli Arrested on Fraud Charges

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

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

As of yet, anyway. Given this guy's history of fraud, I wouldn't be surprised if the Daraprim increase was a way to cover his losses elsewhere.

[Ugatoo]

Good capitalists like Shkreli make the world unbearable.

How much money vs. which family member are we talking about.

As a CEO it's justified, but as a human being he's still utter scum.

And that is why you will never be in the top 10% let alone the top 1%.

Not being rich is well worth not being a soulless degenerate like Shkreli.

[Greed and Death]

Not being rich is well worth not being a soulless degenerate like Shkreli.

So says you.
But you have no idea how fun life is once you reach the top 10% let alone the top 1%.

I'm sure it's grand fun I'll be changing peoples lives in the political sphere thank you very much.
