To actually get ahead and step out of the middle class you've got to play ball like the elites do. This guy does it. He plays ball like the elites do and they're not impressed. He's a hero of the people, well maybe not the people he fucks over but surely all the others.... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 61877188 United States 02/04/2016 08:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you listen closely to the rambling irrelevant and out of line questioning on the part of Congress, you'll realize why he called them imbeciles. What crime/s were they (Congress) exactly questioning him on again because it's not illegal to be a deutsche and show it on twitter. So he raises the price of this drug (as stated, greatly raising the tax burden so less for the gov to play with) and suddenly he gets brought in on charges of fraud back with his previous company. Pretty fucking convenient. Hate the guy all you want, maybe he really would have spent this money on research to find cures versus treatment, perhaps unlikely of course. We should be doing everything in our power to help defend this guy from the strong arm of the government. They are attempting to shut him down because his company has just cost them (our government) a whole bunch of otherwise freed up money they would have. The BS the one congressman was telling him about being a savior to the pharmaceutical industry was some crazy ass retarded shit. I would have been laughing too. |

Why was this? Because there was a Congressional hearing that surprisingly was NOT about Benghazi, and Shkreli was the smirking star of the show. (The careful reader will note that this hearing is not about Martin’s other bad habit, which is running a massive shell game and robbing Peter to pay Paul in some complicated investment schemes that turned out — whoops! — to actually be crimes.) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71396207 Seems that Congress — particularly Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz — wanted to chat with Martin about his bad habit of buying up lifesaving drugs that have a small user base and then jacking them up to completely unreachable levels and then bragging about it. You will be unsurprised to learn that Shkreli spent the entire hearing pleading the Fifth. Probably a smart move, since people are mad enough about his drug price hikes that they will likely find a way to charge him with something. You will also be unsurprised to learn that he somehow managed to turn asserting his right against self-incrimination into a sneering eye-rolling performance that conveyed the depth of his boredom with the little people bothering him. Look, Martin. We know you think you’re some sort of cool supervillain — almost Trump-esque in your bluster and appeal. SPOILER ALERT: You’re not. Literally no one likes you. REPUBLICANS hate you, and they typically love people who screw over the poor, particularly the poor with AIDS and pregnant ladies. You’re a preening little psychopath with a face that is almost as punchable as that of Ted Cruz. Pretty much the entire world wants to take you down a peg, and it’s only a matter of time. We can’t wait. [link to wonkette.com] |

Either way, the dems win it again...if the world doesn't end sooner. PLEASE END, WORLD!!! |

User ID: 54694058 United States 02/05/2016 12:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The man who jacked the price of a drug up to $750 a pill is creating a hatred for corporate america. The man ALSO, like a true Shill claims to have spent $2 Million on a Wu-Tang Album (that was never released. This is so fug'n fishy. I'm not buying this for a second. I think his job is part of the Problem / reaction / Solution game. And he's trying to create the problem so the reaction is outrage and solution is an Executive Order limiting how much money corporations can make, maybe? who knows. BUT when the man is known as "the most hated man in America" who says publicly his gaol is to raise money for shareholders and he's buying black music unheard albums, it's a bit too… staged for me. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71400667 Thailand 02/05/2016 03:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is so fishy about him? He is clearly a greedy dickhead who hatched a plan to acquire a company with a unique, reasonably priced drug and then hike the price 3000% to make money off of sick people. And separately from that, he has apparently been involved in felonious exchange fraud. Fuck this Albanian and let him enjoy the company of his homies at the Pen. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71400667 Thailand 02/05/2016 03:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to a.disquscdn.com] Looking forward to his next interview. In a courtroom, in front of a judge, who then removes this metastatic piece of shit to the general population, which he so richly deserves. Ripping off rich people gets you prosecuted. Denying life-saving drugs to poor people? Not so much. |
