Is it really "hate speech" if he really does deserve to die?
Others might want him to suffer. I'm not like that. When someone pisses me off to the point that I wish for their death, I just want them dead. Oxygen is a precious resource and too valuable to waste on bags of filth like that.

damn, that's cold. niam and i could learn a thing or two from you. i'd have skinned him and thrown him in rock sugar (so it would scar better).

Man the internet despises him. I've already enjoyed a Hunger Games fanfic where the author didn't even bother changing his name, they just made him a citizen of the Capitol and had rebels burn him alive and dismember him.Here's hoping he gets anonymous and every other vigililatne on the Internet harrassing him.
I have to wonder if he's aware. It could make all this even more fun.

Jail him, ban him from ever working in finance, whatever it takes to make him irrelevant. Once that's done, ignore the guy and fix the system that allowed this to happen in the first place. Otherwise, cathartic as it may be to focus on righteous vengeance, it'll just be a matter of time before another fund manager figures out that holding life-saving medicine to ransom is a great way to make a quick buck and we'll be right back to square one.

I'd say he's more abrasive and delusional than outright evil, but yeah, when The Donald has legitimate reason to think you're a scumbag, you know you're an awful excuse for a human being.
I've seen a few people claim that this only happened because "government interferes with business" and if the Gov and insurance companies didn't interfere there wouldn't be a need to jack up the prices. (Which is the complete opposite. With completely free market there would not be any need to ask for less than the absolutely highest price you think you can get away with.)

Well, no. In a completely free market there'd be other people making pyrimethamine and selling it cheaper than this asshole, because why wouldn't they? Making the stuff is cheap, sell it cheaper than him and you can capture the market.
The reason that doesn't happen in the not-completely-free market is that it's expensive to get the FDA to let you sell your own drugs. For good reasons! But still.
This is not the free market's fault, because this isn't a free market (and shouldn't be). This is mostly Martin Shkreli's fault, plus some blame left over for the system that sets up the incentives this way.
I'm not sure that applies here. You can't buy all the labs in the world.
(also, worth pointing out, according to Vox (http://www.vox.com/2015/9/22/9373557/daraprim-competitor-turing), the reasons nobody is undercutting Shkreli is because the market is small enough it's too risky to try)

Update on the exchange with Martin Shkreli. After he raised the price of my original to $50k, he didn't follow through on donating the money. (He has a thing for raising prices, it seems.) Then a random twitter account jumped in and sent me ten grand through Paypal in order to debate him. It's in my account and as soon as it can't be reclaimed through a dispute I'll donate it to toxoplasmosis research.

I'm not normally one to condone high school bullying, but when its Martin "Death Is Profitable" Shkreli, I'm gonna say I wish that high school bully smashed the guitar too.

Shkreli also has a track record of betting against pharmaceutical stocks — a practice known as short selling. And in at least two cases he pressed federal regulators to reject the companies’ product at the same time he was betting the stocks would go down.

As is well-known by now, one of the side effects of Daraprim, a medication needed by many AIDS and cancer patients, is uncontrollable rage — not because of any chemical properties of the drug itself, but because Martin Shkreli’s Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price by more than 5,000 percent immediately after purchasing the rights to the medication. Until Shkreli’s greed caused the price to very quickly inflate, the lifesaving pill, which has been on the market longer than Shkreli has been alive, sold for just $13.50 per pill.
Shkreli provided numerous excuses for the price increase, the unfairness of which made headlines for weeks after the rather transparent attempt to effectively hold patients at gunpoint and rob them blind. While “Pharma Bro” ultimately promised to lower prices to an undefined amount at an unspecified point in time — something that has still not happened — another company has taken it upon themselves to completely embarrass the former hedge funder, who described the price increase as necessary.
San Diego-based Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc announced on Thursday that it will be providing an alternative to Daraprim that costs a fraction of the pill’s pre-Shkreli price. The drug will be sold at as low as $99 for a 100-pill supply. Yes, that’s just about a dollar per pill.

As a note, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals also has said openly that they're planning on similarly-priced generics of nearly every other medically-needed pill the FDA has approved within the next three years. That's 7,500 medications or so.

I'm going to give the CEO of Imprimis Pharmaceuticals a HUGE HUG!
Frankly, EVERY med should have a generic version. I take Fluoxetine, the generic version of Prozac. Only a couple of bucks, baby!
My Mom, however, has some important meds that she NEEDS and there's no generic. She has to pay over 35-40 dollars for a refill. I hope one of the generic meds Imprimis introduces is a generic form of THAT. My Mom would be so happy!

I don't think it would even get that far if his date happens to be a good woman. Because of his notoriety, when one lady by the name of Eve Peyser was matched on Tinder to him and proceeded to talk to him (http://cheezburger.com/8572140288/hook-up-of-the-day-girl-matches-with-that-dude-who-upped-the-price-on-the-life-saving-aids-drug-by), the conversation came off as well as you would expect. I don't think Shkreli knows how to talk to people, and with the money he has, he probably thinks he doesn't have to.
In some ways he reminds me of the Lolcow Chris-chan. He keeps insisting that his version of things is the "real truth" of the situation on hand, and he's really just a misunderstood person and not the abhorrent person people think he is.
I've been talking to Shkreli on Twitter.
...its almost fun to take delight in the sheer misfortune he's managed to bring upon himself and then confront him with it all.
After weeks of criticism from patients, doctors and even other drugmakers for hiking a life-saving medicine's price more than fifty-fold, Turing Pharmaceuticals is reneging on its pledge to cut the $750-per-pill price.
Instead, the small biotech company says it's reducing the price for hospitals by up to 50 per cent for its Daraprim, which treats a rare parasitic infection that mainly strikes pregnant women and HIV patients.
Shkreli is also the new chief executive officer of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals Inc., after leading an investor group that bought a majority of the near-bankrupt biotechnology company. The shares were trading at less than $1 until last week, when the company disclosed Nov. 18 that Shkreli’s group had bought the stake. The stock was trading at $26.63 at the close in New York.
The move is not an attempt to reverse-merge Turing into a public company, Shkreli has said. Instead, he’s in talks to acquire three separate drugs, one of which is already approved by U.S. regulators, that could fit into the KaloBios’s portfolio, he said Wednesday. He also plans to develop KaloBios’s lenzilumab for a rare form of leukemia with no effective treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Can someone shoot him? Preferably before he can do more harm.
It's not even a matter of hate, the guy is legit putting live in danger with his shit.Can someone shoot him? Preferably before he can do more harm.
With the amount of raw hatred he's been garnering, its only a matter of time before someone tries it.
I'm pulling for the gunman.
The problem is not Shkreli per se, it's the system that allows the shit he does to be profitable. If he doesn't do it, someone else will.He is using the same argument but if you notice that no one had done it before him (at least to the same extent) the argument isn't as strong as he wants us to believe.
Dude is literally a bridge troll.Really? With all the money he's gouging from sick people, you'd think he could afford an apartment.

I don't mean this as a defence of Shkreli, obviously. He is impressively evil, he's just not uniquely evil, and getting rid of him would not solve the actual problem.

Yes, it's a well-known fact that killing people in the name of a political cause only ever scares the enemy into surrendering, and never leads to increased radicalization or the victim being used as a rallying symbol.
I don't think anyone here actually wants to kill Shkreli and am treating this is as a tongue-in-cheek hypothetical. I have further reasons not to kill him if you need convincing
How about he be slapped with 5.5 billion dollars in debt. I doubt he can pay that off, and it'll get rid of him financially forever.
Complex financial maneuvers were used to conceal the payments, Retrophin said. For example, the company accused its former CEO of fraudulently reclassifying a $900,000 equity investment that MSMB made in Retrophin as a loan. He then allegedly had Retrophin pay off that loan to settle another unrelated legal dispute.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, which according to court documents opened an investigation into Shkreli in 2012, is expected to file a parallel civil complaint against him, according to people familiar with the matter.
“The $65 million Retrophin wants from me would not dent me. I feel great. I’m licking my chops over the suits I’m going to file against them”
Okay, can we just hang him, already? I get that we have a big problem when people are allowed to get away with this, but fucking seriously, just god damned hang him, if only to get rid of that shiteating grin he always wears.

Capital punishment doesn't work. It's not a deterrent and it's even more expensive than alternative forms of punishment.
We should sentence him to some compassionate counselling, maybe some state-funded backrubs. Help him get to the root of the personal issues that led him down this dark road.
BROOKLYN (The Borowitz Report)—A criminal lawyer representing Turing Pharmaceuticals chief Martin Shkreli has informed his client that he is raising his hourly legal fees by five thousand per cent, the lawyer has confirmed.
Minutes after Shkreli’s arrest on charges of securities fraud, the attorney, Harland Dorrinson, announced that he was hiking his fees from twelve hundred dollars an hour to sixty thousand dollars.
Shkreli, who reportedly received the news about the price hike while he was being fingerprinted, cried foul and accused his attorney of “outrageous and inhumane price gouging.”
“This is the behavior of a sociopath,” Shkreli was heard screaming.
Apparently he did when even his Lawyer turned on him and jacked the prices up 5000%.
Well, Trust Fund Brat, crying to mommy and daddy won't save you. Unless of course my guess is right and Shkreli's dad is Mammon, the Demon Lord of Greed. In which case all he needs is a ouija board to turn the court room into a surprisingly good low budget film.
