Big Pharma Exec/League of Legends Team Chairman Arrested on Fraud Charges [UPDATE]

@Zombrex: ahahahaha :)

@autumnvarela: Uh actually price gouging is and always has been illegal so I blame the government for not having arrested him early on that charge. They have the authority to but chose not to. So actually he was breaking the law already, however I'm sure a better definition of the law needs to be made to define how much equates to price gouging. This is why I don't agree with patents on anything at all but especially medicines. Unfortunately it is a part of our Constitution.

@autumnvarela: So you think that what he is done (although legal) is ethically correct?? Please do tell me more.

What this rat did is in no way shape or form a good or ethical thing, he has put cancer treatment out of peoples reach for his own benefit, what a bast**d and you condone that kind of thing do you? Absolute idiot that you are.

You can join him in the flogging that i'm sure is round the corner if you like, you can call it your duty as a fellow citizen if you like.

Degenerate fool.

@autumnvarela: I know a lot of conservatives (including me) are against an excess of regulation, but in this case, you're right. This needs to be regulated because we can't simply rely on good will. A lot of people I know were against any sort of regulation on ISPs but that has served to be quite helpful. If regulation is necessary to stop exploitation then so be it.

This guy is still a douche though.

@autumnvarela: youre right. But he's still a dirtbag.

@ptsdgamer1: he hasn;t been taken down yet, at least not for raising the price of the drug astronomically, he could be arrested today but that price of the drug will still stay where it is.I will rejoice when it comes down to where it was before

@ptsdgamer1: This is just a ruse to prop up socialized medicine in the media, after the colossal failure that is obamacare.

He's not being punished for speaking out, he's just the fall guy, either he's getting a huge payoff when this is over, or he's been threatened into taking the rap.

"see this is why the government should be in charge, so we keep more things like this from happening." This will be the rallying cry once the mainstream media decides to take notice.

@ptsdgamer1: What? All I'm going to say is look at the time frame from when he left Turing Pharmaceuticals to when he got busted. Now go and look a what the time frame from when they started an investigation into someone and then busted them for their ponzi schemes. Of course him shining the light on himself is going to speed up an investigation when you see him getting ready to do almost the exact same thing to a new company. And of course they'll want to do it when it can score them some more PR the funny thing is Shkreli did it to himself by being an arrogant douchebag about the shit he was doing with the AIDS/Cancer drug. What you think the Government of trying to capitalize off of someone else being the asshole? What pisses me off about the article though is his price gouging of the drug has absolutely nothing to do with his arrest.

@ptsdgamer1: u can never be sure ... like Donald Trump is maybe just a puppet to mobilze the masses to vote, when he gets shafted they have no choice as to elect witch ever inner-faction rival is left ... like they know they can hardly win against the liberal mobilisation from groups of imigrants, 'open.minded.people' and feminist activists that is going to happen around Hilary Clinton, calling out Angela Merkel one of the most importent persons of our time just helps in this matter ... regardless of all this, the real political battle is happening between a few select Family.Dynasties like the Clinton or the Bush Clans, while the former is heavily undermined and in control by the 'scientology.movement', the later is powered by more traditional Lobby Groups like the oil and weapon industry ... (how u like that ^^)

@ptsdgamer1: well, if anything good is a conspiracy...

@GunsSlashRoses: Funny they got Al Capone in a similar fashion. Got arrested on nothing pertaining to his horrid crimes

@windyrectum: The justice system is set up so the rich can get of with payment. You're not far from the truth, though I think you're joking.

@otterbee: Trump is a dangerous racist demigod, he wins it hands down. Trying to distract and dived people, trying to take us back to the dark ages.

ANYBODY voting for Trump has a very low IQ and is ignorant for it.

@wilson_diabetes: no he said he is not going to play it, reason - to increase the value for the years to come

@wilson_diabetes: It's shameful that this is the guy that actually won the auction on it. Such a waste. $2mill for that. I wonder if there's a clause that will allow Wu-Tang to get it back...and not have to reimburse him. ROFL

@tr4newreck:

He is definitely an oligarch, that's the thing that's bothering me the most. He is one of them, they took one of their own down. He pissed off the wrong people, they don't like being in the spotlight, might spark a revolution, they'll lock him up or change his behavior.

BUT, something stinks about this, it's to clean and life just doesn't work that way. It screams government propaganda , fool the sheep into believing they police corporate crime? I dunno.

@tr4newreck: ^this

@hunglejut: Pendragon, the founder of LoL is a scumbag, that's why you make the association.

@Dante-xero: You have to forgive them for this one. That guy was the worst of the worst. Raised a pill cost used by HIV and cancer patients by 7000% in the name of research, promised a price dip after.. meanwhile another company comes along and shows it can be made for $.99 a pill vs the $18 this guy was charging BEFORE the price increase!

That's right this guy was selling the then-only pill needed for people with immune deficiencies $18 a pill before increasing that price by 7000% to over $770 a pill when it could have been made for $.99 and still had been PROFITIBLE.

Martin Shkreli is the worst kind of asshole, so much so even LoL seems like berries and cream in comparison.
