The Lesson Here Is Quite Simple
March 9, 2018 at 3:53 pm
You can steal from pension funds, taxpayers, charities, and bankrupt entire cities.  You can evict aged widows from their homes for $90 "delinquencies" and become secretary of the fucking treasury.  But if you screw other members of the upper class they will come after you with guns blazing.  Such is justice in "Murrica.

Quote:Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli cried like a baby before a judge sentenced him to seven years in prison for defrauding investors.

The stiff prison term capped the dramatic fall of the 34-year-old biotech entrepreneur-turned-international villain who first gained infamy for jacking up the price of a life-saving drug for AIDS patients.


But hey, take note of what the prosecutor said about him.


Quote:Prosecutor Jacquelyn Kasulis slammed Shkreli as an unrepentant fraudster who cares only about himself and his supersized ego.


With that on his resume he could someday be president of this fucking country.

Maybe Trump will commute his sentence to time served or give him a pardon.

People rapidly developed a visceral hatred of the little puke. Wouldn't take much for his taint to contaminate anyone befriending him.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

No, no.  If he had screwed widows and orphans out of their life savings the WLB would already have him in the cabinet.  But he fucked the WLB's rich bitch pals.  That's a no-no.

He was screwing AIDS patients.

That company that makes the allergy injectors took a bunch of grief for their chicanery too. Kids dying of anaphylactic shock are not seen as a positive for most communities.

Shkreli was an equal opportunity opportunist. Don't really care what malfeasance gets his ass in jail as long as his ass is in jail. Hell they got Capone for tax evasion, not murder . . . .

The WLB would give him the Medal of Freedom for that. 

Sadly, he was convicted of defrauding his investors - not murdering AIDS patients.

(Although I like your thinking.  I just had a great idea for a cell mate for him!)
