    is this that the guy who jacked up insulin prices or something?

      He did go to jail for a few years.

      Not for the insulin bullshit; he stole from rich people

      He got fined $60 million and saw no prison for the anti trust/diabetics dying from having to ration insulin thing.

      He was sentenced in 2018 for fraud in a white collar minimum security prison and got out in 2022. During his stay he had a smartphone and internet access and got into a relationship with some reporter interviewing him and eventually got engaged.

      He is now dating the founder of Leda Health, a company that sells kits for sexual assault victims that has been found to sometimes contaminate evidence and is possibly inadmissible in court.

    The fact that this evil smug murdering asshole isnt rotting in some moist dungeon being chewed on by all manner of rats and creepy crawlies really shows how much of a sick unjust society America is.

        The site is full of his fans. He even checked in once

            More than a year ago. I drunkenly emailed him about the site and two days later a user with his style popped in and wrote some comments. Can't recall the handle anymore. But the fact I contacted him about the site (I wanted him to start a strugglesesh or use it in an episode, I just wrote to his public mail) and he then showed up makes me certain it was him

    Its strange to me how this guy doesn't get reviled nearly as much as he should. I mean I get when neoliberals do it because they're money over everything but all the vids I see is people gushing over how articulate and smart he is. Like this guy isn't pure scum. Like yeah he called out and pointed out some of pharmas fuckery but we act like he didn't screw people over? He seems to be seen overwhelmingly positive light on vid comments

      He's sort of like Trump but for stock fuckery. He's no different from all the others, he just doesn't pretend he's not a piece of shit most of the time.

        But the reverence. Many people going so far as to say he did nothing wrong and memory holed it to say he give people free drugs when it was just a couple of people who DM him i-cant
