is this that the guy who jacked up insulin prices or something?

why is he not in jail?

[–] elpaso@hexbear.net 40 points 3 days ago

He did go to jail for a few years.

Not for the insulin bullshit; he stole from rich people

Americans are so, so bad at adventure-time

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

He got fined $60 million and saw no prison for the anti trust/diabetics dying from having to ration insulin thing.

He was sentenced in 2018 for fraud in a white collar minimum security prison and got out in 2022. During his stay he had a smartphone and internet access and got into a relationship with some reporter interviewing him and eventually got engaged.

He is now dating the founder of Leda Health, a company that sells kits for sexual assault victims that has been found to sometimes contaminate evidence and is possibly inadmissible in court.

I thought they shot this guy?

Its strange to me how this guy doesn't get reviled nearly as much as he should. I mean I get when neoliberals do it because they're money over everything but all the vids I see is people gushing over how articulate and smart he is. Like this guy isn't pure scum. Like yeah he called out and pointed out some of pharmas fuckery but we act like he didn't screw people over? He seems to be seen overwhelmingly positive light on vid comments

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's sort of like Trump but for stock fuckery. He's no different from all the others, he just doesn't pretend he's not a piece of shit most of the time.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But the reverence. Many people going so far as to say he did nothing wrong and memory holed it to say he give people free drugs when it was just a couple of people who DM him i-cant

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oh yeah he sucks. The reverence is weird.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Mans praising a little fish that got too big for his britches and got hung out to dry now they act like he's a snowden esc whistleblower i-cant

Finally another Internet Comment Etiquette fan here

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The site is full of his fans. He even checked in once

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] REgon@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

More than a year ago. I drunkenly emailed him about the site and two days later a user with his style popped in and wrote some comments. Can't recall the handle anymore. But the fact I contacted him about the site (I wanted him to start a strugglesesh or use it in an episode, I just wrote to his public mail) and he then showed up makes me certain it was him

Kamala getting the coveted 'greedy capitalist price jacker' endorsement

[–] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

The fact that this evil smug murdering asshole isnt rotting in some moist dungeon being chewed on by all manner of rats and creepy crawlies really shows how much of a sick unjust society America is.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Damn, I guess the dregs at the bottom of the barrel do go deeper than a Dick Cheney endorsement. Who's next? maxwell ?

Shkreli? That daraprim price hiker...

HunterCoin when?

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Honestly I've got a soft spot for Shkreli. If there ever was a revolution in the US then I hope he gets to be kept as a sort of resident doofus
