Why do people hate Martin Shrkreli?

[Anonymous No.8232169]

I don't understand what he did wrong. I thought he made a drug that helped H.I.V patients and then overcharged it to companies, not the patients.

Can someone explain to me?

[Anonymous No.8232181]

he lead a healthcare company and decided to mark up the price of a life-saving product by like 100,000% for no reason. shut the fuck up about him. nobody cares.

He knows a secret about Hillary Clinton that's why he needed a DNA sample to prove it. Some incest family shit probably. That's why they locked him up for some years. They will fuck him up in prison that be looses his mind like Bradley Manning and maybe make him transform his gender as punishment also.
Poor soul, nobody helps him.

[Anonymous No.8232259]

He literally did nothing wrong.
What he went to jail for was that he handled the money of the investors in a way that was outside of the agreement of the share, which is technically securities fraud.

He did, however, end up actually making the share holders much more money than they expected.

So basically, he "frauded" money into the pockets of the supposed victims of the "fraud" (oh no, please, why did you get me tons of money, so evil).

It's a political hit job. He was putting attention towards things that people didn't want attention on, and the shareholders were pressured to put him under the bus and accuse him of securities fraud so that (((they))) could get rid of this streaming, redpilling nuisance and make an example.

costs are going up because insurance companies can now be as greedy as the want with obamacare, and shkreli had a system in place to always get the drug to the patient for free if they had any troubles

[Anonymous No.8232457]

>>8232169
Fuck the drug, that was not a crime and is not what his case was about.
The case is that he misled his investors by telling them the fund did better than it really had, before they all made real, good money. What he really did wrong was being arrogant. Had this been anyone else it would be a slap on the wrist. But since he's a premium jokester and posts edgy shit online they put him away longer to teach him a lesson. What a fucking hit job. The evidence of that is plentiful here, check out all these people who are clueless as to what the case is about and what even happened with daraprim. None of them even know that's the name of the drug. None of them know what it actually treats. None of them know that no patients went without it. None of them know that he gave it away for free if you had no insurance. They only know what the media tells them, fucking sheep.

Ahh yes because 50mil spread across insurance companies will send shockwaves across a 4 trillion dollars industry.
You do realize the previous company was going to stop making deraprim because it was so unprofitable, right? The only way to justify it's continued manufacturing was to sell for it's actual market value.

[Anonymous No.8232567]

Several companies did the same as Shkrelli did only on a bigger timeframe so its less obvious. Media just milked it and he is a bit of a troll so that doesn't help.

It was 5,000% according to the NYT.

None of the things you mentioned were what he was changed with. The judge had to cite precedence (I’m sure under not so similar circumstances) to justify its length, despite the circumstances of the case.

It does matter because the punishment does not fit the crime he was charged with. The sentencing reflects the public’s poor opinion of him. This is not how our legal system should work.
