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.

The thought of that smug prick being knocked down a couple pegs certainly makes me happy.

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

He deserves whatever he gets.

He gets ran over by the karma. And bitten by the dogma.

Maybe if we're lucky, his cellmate will have serious unresolved anger issues and few qualms about misplacing that anger.

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

Eh, jail is the best for this price gouger.

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.

Let's hope!

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.

And a few pegs in him at prison, if you know what I mean.

It's a shame this isn't for his price gouging.

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.

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

Aye, when I first read the headline I hoped it was for that reason, sadly not.

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.

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.

Eh, hopefully this will knock him down a peg and he won't be such a jerk.

He's a hedge fund investor. His entire life was built around kissing ass and touching toes.
