[QUOTE=FlandersNed;49335878]Game Grumps reunited and Martin Shkreli arrested for fraud.
The universe is starting to make sense again. Now all we need is for Donald Trump to be arrested for not paying taxes.[/QUOTE]
you can,t trump the trump
I find him very interesting, he's possibly the most noticeable of a new breed of rich folk. Dude's obviously smart, you don't get that rich being stupid, but the way he's got rich and the way he spends his money makes it fairly obvious that he's not a businessman in the regular sense, he's got where he's at by merely treating the system as a game, the objective is just to get richer and richer. He doesn't care about ethics or empathy as they get in the way, in fact he doesn't care about anything, every single move other than anything blatantly illegal is valid.

Well, given the entire subject of the thread is him being arrested for fraud... I don't think legality plays too big a role in Shkreli's personal sense of right and wrong.
[QUOTE=TheTalon;49340034]I hope his lawyer increases his fee by 5000%[/QUOTE]
The lawyer DID inflate his fee by an exuberant amount. This is fucking hilarious.

[quote]Minutes after Shkreli’s arrest on charges of securities fraud, the attorney, Harland Dorrinson, announced that he was hiking his fees from twelve hundred dollars an hour to sixty thousand dollars.
Shkreli, who reportedly received the news about the price hike while he was being fingerprinted, cried foul and accused his attorney of “outrageous and inhumane price gouging.”[/quote]
Edit:
Didn't realize this is a fake article, sorry guys.

Does he have no sense of irony oh my god
hey maybe this is the rainy day Martin was waiting for to listen to that Wu Tang Album
Oh god the best bit.
“This is the behavior of a sociopath,” Shkreli was heard screaming.
For his part, Shkreli’s lawyer was unmoved by his client’s complaint. “Compared to what he pays for an hour of Wu-Tang Clan, sixty thou is a bargain,” he said.

It's amazing, that the Men who was his defending Attorney, actually raised his price up.
It shows that even his lawyers hate him.

yeah that's fake, its a shame though, would have been great if it was true

The site's real, that article is in the Humor section rather than the News section though, so yeah.

Nah the judicial system hates white collar crimes like scamming shareholders. A rich guy can run a stop sign and kill a women and get away with it, but this no so much.

Read the article dude - I don't know shit about this stuff, but even I can see that what he did is most likely illegal in a number of ways.

Also depends how much he pissed off the IRS, because if there's one government branch you don't want to fuck with, it's them.
And yeah what he did was hella illegal, his companies were basically acting as Ponzi/Pyramid schemes.

I'm p sure that the borowitz report is satire, because they also have news articles like "Trump supporters disappointed they only want to ban one religion"
Martin Shkreli used the same excuse when he raised the price of those pills as a politician called Joe Hockey when he tried to get rid of Medicare and charge people $5 to see the GP(doctor). "Oh it's for future research" . They must read from the same book on corporate sociopathy.
Oh shit son.

RIP Martin Shkreli's Dignity.
Due to his widespread impopularity he's not going to fare well with the other inmates. Terrible things will happen to him in prison, but I guess that's karma.

I can't believe that he expects people to like him even after he raised the price of a life-saving drug by 5,000%...
for example, if a millionaire who was convicted of murder and released on bail gave me $4,000,000, of course I wouldn't like him even still
this guy needs to learn basic logic
