FTC: Shkreli may have violated lifetime pharma ban, should be held in contempt
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
Hey Ars, I thought there was a gentlefolks agreement not to use that picture of Shkreli's eminently punchable face in these articles? Weren't there some torts about broken monitors and bruised knuckles? /s

Drop the hammer on this asshole. Seize all his assets, strip his illegal ownership of a pharma company, and stuff his ass back in prison where it belongs.

Always great articles, Dr. Mole. I think the subheading should say "may" rather than "my."

This guy is just showing he has all the qualifications to be a representative in the US government. Maybe he is overqualified based on these metrics.

People that see mistakes borne out of immaturity or mental health problems or desperation as immutable moral stains and risks undeserving of mercy but calculated white collar crime and the kind of contempt only that smirk can convey as a shame they got busted.

Yes, the lesson he was taught is that the law does not matter. Not surprising is is now acting like it.

Exactly. With this level of BS and the guy's reputation, are there actually people stupid / psycopathic enough to finance him?

This is about as shocking as learning Elizabeth Holmes bought a one-way ticket to Mexico after her conviction.

It's so fucking punchable I'm astonished random passersby on the street don't just tune him up like an old fiddle, just on instinct.

A blind man would instinctively punch his face, and sheer karma would guide that punch square on the nose.

Gosh, it sure is a surprise when psychopaths keep doing psychopath shit when consequences are lame and long in coming, and when other psychopaths watch and learn.

I mean.... distributed computing power to analyse potential medical breakthroughs.
Isn't that Folding@Home, but where you potentially pay people?
And therefore has nothing Web3 about it. Unless Web3 was the year 2000.

That doesn't sound like the pharmaceutical industry to me. It's just a crypto pyramid scheme. But as long as he is claiming it's a pharmaceutical company, definitely hold him in contempt.

A standing court order of that nature is exceedingly rare, and it's the sort of thing someone's lawyers would typically keep a copy of in their pocket just to be extra certain.
This guy's lawyers must hate him just as much as everyone else does.

Sounds like the proper response should be to put her in prison now, not April 27th.

That's a face that simply begs to be slapped, over, and over, and over.
I have always imagined it would be very satisfactory - I wonder if he was ever slapped in prison?

Hey now. He called his company Druglike. See, it's in the name that it's only LIKE drugs, hence not actually drugs, and therefore not against the court order.
He really can't help himself, can he? Not only does he HAVE to violate the order. He's got to thumb his nose at it by giving his company a name that also thumbs its nose at the order.
And on the same day that I read about the aforementioned Elizabeth Holmes half-assed attempt to flee to Mexico, and the Frye Festival guy organizing another island event. Apparently today is stupid scammers attempt to violate the law again in broad daylight day.

Have you not heard of the NFT or crypto markets? They're still worth more than most countries.
Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying his idea has merit, I'm saying there is a preponderance of monied idiots.

That could be parsed multiple ways. It could mean like a drug, as you suggest.
It could also mean like for drugs. Compare to bloodlust.

Well, historically it's been one (application of the) rule for them, and another for the rest of us.

I think he's just telling people how much he likes drugs and will use this company to discover novel new ways of getting high.
