:sadness:
We legalize scamming, claim that being a rip-off artist is pure economic genius, laugh at people who act with integrity as "woke goody-goodies", and people STILL complain that the world is the way it is?
Adam is so powerful he can interrupt Shkreli while he is muted.
But somehow, the woman with dyed hair that wants people to be nicer but is SUCH A NAG ABOUT IT (sheesh!) is the real problem with the world.
okay, but only if you promise it'll kick off a decade-long period of terror and destruction
so is the halfway house also in Pennsylvania or...?
just planning my next vacation
I know it'll never, ever happen but I wish these fucks would actually be in jail for a bit longer than a few years. Of course - he went to country-club prisons too...
On April 18, 2018, Shkreli [went to] FCI Fort Dix... As of July 2020, Shkreli is serving his sentence at FCC Allenwood.
What was he sent to prison for?
I also think the real cringe he did was just being too honest about it. And then nothing happened.
He left profits on the table by failing to raise the price by 10,000 percent
I think he actually screwed over some other rich people somehow.
The controversy surrounding drug-price increases isn’t the reason Shkreli is on trial. At the time of the Daraprim scandal, Shkreli was already under federal investigation for entirely different reasons. In late 2015, he was arrested and charged with misappropriating assets from Retrophin, a publicly traded drug company that he was running, and using those assets to conceal investor losses in separate entities, his hedge funds, MSMB Capital L.P. and MSMB Healthcare L.P. Announcing the charges, the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Robert Capers, said, “Shkreli essentially ran his companies like a Ponzi scheme.” Brafman’s defense seems to be that Shkreli’s investors ultimately ended up making money on their investments, and this should excuse whatever lines he crossed in the process. (In the government’s view, those lines included misleading his investors and taking assets from Retrophin that didn’t belong to him.)

Yuup.
No one cares about the evil things, but about FUCKING WITH THE MONEY. And other rich people rightfully realized if he wasn’t punished for something, the masses may look at the rest of them and ask questions.
He's just particularly annoying about his scamming, everyone that put him in jail does the same shit if not worse.
His face is particularly punchable tho
thinking about that lady who left her husband after interviewing him and falling in love with an obvious manipulator
What if someone parodied him while doing a Salvia shout out? They'd have to like, write that in books.
