Discussion: Martin Shkreli Indicted In 'Ponzi-Like' Securities Fraud Scheme

Discussion for article #243901

Guess what, Americaā€™s prison system is capitalist too. The judge should give him maximum time, in order to maximize the profits for prison investors. Not to minimize them or go half or go 70 percent but to go to 100 percent of the profit curve.

Right next to Kevin Trudeau, right where he belongs.

See, it was only ā€œPonzi-likeā€ because Ponzi used new investorsā€™ money to pay old investors. But Shkreli used new investorsā€™ money and old investorsā€™ money, and just kept it for himself.

Little weasel!

Throw the book at him!

Behold what unrestrained capitalism hath wrought. Trump calling the little capitalist a ā€œspoiled bratā€ is high comedy indeed. The two feed at precisely the same trough.

Noā€¦Wu Tang is holding secret meetings with Bill Murray about how now is the perfect moment to steal their album back.

Now Shkreliā€™s purchase of the Wu Tang Clan album makes perfect sense.

Sensing that prosecution was imminent, he bought it as his ace in the hole. He is going to use it to bargain with the prosecutors, threatening to release the tracks on the Internet if charges are not dropped.
