Tbf he is a Cunt

He's some oligarch who raised the price for AIDS medication and bought a Wu Tang Clan album. Is there anything more to him?

Why are you trying to drum up interest for this shit game?

it panders to the typical leftist trash that play shitty games like this

some redditors really love him

>oligarch
look up what words mean before you use them.

True, he's more of a monopolist.

Actually do your research my dude

The dude is a pure capitalist, which isn't fundamentally 'wrong' but makes him an asshole nonetheless.

Then why was he giving medication to people for free?

Not him, but why don't you just tell us all about how he's sweet and innocent deep down? The guy is just your typical rich prick that seizes money through whatever means are available to him.

Ah yes, the jew who tried to buy Sup Forums and was the embodiment of
>HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW KIDS

I'm not going to do your research for you, if you want to actually know whats going on instead of being manipulated by headlines look into it. It's a bit too long of a story for me typing it all out for you. If anything the story is more complicated than "Dude just wants to make money at the expense of AIDS patents".

itt

upset lefties

Between him and Yiannopolous, what is it with complete fucking faggots wanting to buy this site?

Every person who focuses their lives on politics is permanently asshurt.

Notch (yes, the creator of Minecraft) also tried to buy it when people here asked him, but gook moot refused to sell the site.
Probably because all that
>G-GUYS THE SITE IS DYING
was bullshit and he just wanted people to buy more Sup Forums passes to get some extra shekels.

He's in his early thirties. That's probably fairly close to the average anons age, tbqh.

>He fell for there bait

What I mean is that he was trying to fit in too hard with the
>I-I WANT MORE MEMES AND WILL INCREASE EDGINESS

Seriously, what the fuck does ''increase edge'' even mean.

I would have been okay with this. Don't care much for Minecraft but Noth seems to be a decent enough guy.

They didn't even get his income right

Okay bud. I'm sure a venture capitalist bought a company and then jacked up the prices on their drugs for reasons other than making a profit.

He used to lurk Sup Forums long ago, probably still does.
He just didn't buy it because Hiro refused.

He gave the drugs away for free for people who proved that they cannot afford it.

He jacked up the prices so that insurance have to pay more and in return with that money it goes into research for more medication.

I assume you have proof to back up this claim.

You realize you sound like a beta orbiter right now, right? You're probably a cuck, too.

And then the insurance companies raised their premiums, which mean the average person ends up paying for the price increase. How stupid are you?

Not that user. But do your own research you lazy piece of shit

No single drug can cause the increase to insurance premiums

He's got so much money that buying Sup Forums wouldn't be a "use outcasts to make money," but rather an entertaining pursuit for a man who already has it all.

I'd be down for that. Doubt much would change and the inevitable memes would be refreshing.

>Makes claim
>Can't back it up with proof

He's an annoying Sup Forumstard that can go fuck himself.

Hi, not that user but if you're making assertations they should really be backed up with proof.

>He gave the drugs away for free for people who proved that they cannot afford it.
Most likely because he was in a spinoff of one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Hi tumblr

Literally who

Kys with your gay copy pasta

But you are defending him for not providing proof making you just as much a faggot as him.

You're the one who was making claims, you dumb cunt. He was correcting you. Provide evidence for your claims, then he has a responsibility to.

You realize that it would have been pretty easy to for those poor people to sign an nda for the chance of giving them a small discount, right?
I say this because humans are disgusting creatures and if something sounds too good to be true then it's probably a lie.

Guy who got arrested for defrauding his investors, and then made jokes about it on twitch.

Truthfully as a guy, business practices aside, he seems like someone I'd hang out with.

Also, didn't he find this bit pretty funny?

More Sup Forums and Sup Forums until you like it.

They still ARE AIDS patients, good riddance.

edgy

Big Pharma does it everyday, one little guy does it and the whole world loses their minds.

t. sodomite who can handle 50 cocks in his ass every friday, but can't handle mean words.

I watched a Vice (I think) interview with him and he seems like your average presumptuous and socially awkward nerd.
His apartment is really small for a CEO too.

>Shrleki plays League so much he has a shortcut

I was ok with everything he did - but I'm not ok with this.

Says you. The price went from $13 to $750 a dose.

Daraprim is not only used for HIV, dipshit.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daraprim

You're not scaring anyone, pussy.

>muh big pharma
Go smoke some tea leaves faggot

>leftists hate the guy
>therefore I must give him my support

What's wrong with making a profit?

The reason he was able to get a hold of Daraprim in the first place is because everyone else dropped it; only a certain amount of people in the world suffer from the specific disease it treated, most of them are dying off, so buyers of the drug are becoming steadily fewer, and most companies, realizing that it was unprofitable, would rather let the people who need it die off than have them drag the corp's balance books into the red, and that's exactly what they did.

If Shkreli didn't have basically a monopoly on Daraprim, no one would be producing it. I like how no one bats an eye at other corporations dropping the drug, but as soon as Shkreli tries to take any measures to actually keep the thing in production for maybe the few hundred people actually suffering from the disease, he's demonized as the epitome of capitalist greed, when the companies that would sooner have those people die get a free pass because they've wiped their hands of the drug.

Yeah, he's a pretentious asshole, and completely motivated by profit, sure. Most people are motivated by profit. I'm not going to tank my business for the sake of a few hundred people because it's "the right thing to do." No one in their right mind would care about that, unless they were altruistic enough to be unfit to run and sustain a business in the long run.

Try to write down a plan for Sup Forums. You can't make it sound reasonable.
This website is just a shitfest, try to write down a plan and you will see you either have to lie, or sound like a fag.

Leftists are evil and will lie about anyone.

Shkreli jacking up the price only affected insurance companies. He was bilking insurance companies while giving the drug away to people who needed it and asked for it.

I don't think any plan would be
>WE ARE GOING TO INCREASE EDGE
>WE ARE GOING TO MONETIZE MEMES
>MORE PEPES

That's just an autismo who has barely heard of Sup Forums trying to fit in hard.

>giving the drug away to people who needed it and asked for it.
No one fucking does anything for free, retard.

>Notch seems decent
>Wouldn't mind him owning this site
Oh how times and userbases have changed

What claims did he make? That the guy raised the price of a drug? It doesn't look like that claim is being disputed. Why prove it? Everyone in the thread is accepting that it happened. The disputed claim is that the drug was given away for free. Being skeptical of that claim is not a claim.

Oh, yeah, wasn't that the only copy available? And he never released it, too, fucking asshole.

And I bet Shkreli himself told you all of these totally unbiased facts, didn't he?

Check your sources my dood.

Anyone who isn't moderate is evil and deserves to be shot in the head.

MOMS

Liberals are horrible people.

>Wow, what that user said is fundamentally different from my beliefs, he must be a shill!

damn, you got me dood, how will i ever recover

>He was bilking insurance companies while giving the drug away to people who needed it and asked for it.
You faggots keep saying this, but no one posts any proofs. If insurance becomes unprofitable to the insurance company they just jack up the prices too or just plain drop it, you dumb ass faggot

DELETE Sup Forums
>*shits diapers*

Write the plan, man. Do it and try to be realistic, but also not sound like a fag. Its impossible.

>humans are horrible people
fify

>correcting with no proof
Hello tumblr

Is it just me or is Sup Forums shittier than usual? I mean, more contrarianism, pointless shitposts and politically charged butthurt all around.

Weren't the Wu-Tang guys left going to raid his house or something

There's a huge copypasta written by an actual doctor addressing why of Shkreli's claims are bullshit.

I just think it's funny that you listened to one side of the argument presented by an admitted ideologue and act like that's objective and reliable data.

>every reply to this post is denial and more tears
Good job user

Fucking nufaggots on Sup Forums think they know politics and laws because they play phoenix wright

>You faggots keep saying this, but no one posts any proofs

All you needed to do was type into fucking google you huge faggot

youtube.com/watch?v=2PCb9mnrU1g

Shkreli is our guy.

-Put non-malware ads.
-More ads for phoneposters.

I think that's it.

Link it

No, he's not, he's a filthy jewish rat who wanted to buy Sup Forums and manage it as a business.
He would have been worse than gook Moot.

West coast is waking up
Americans really drop the quality of posting when they start to wake up, but west coast is horrendous. I find it hard to find vidya threads at night in EU because of them

At least self-serve ads would've worked :^)

Big Pharma is literally great, though. They're responsible for the vast majority of all medical research on the planet.

Thankfully that cringeworthy edgelord will never get his dirty hands on this.

>beyond the headlines they read in the papers
you mean on buzzfeed

did you post this martin

look, martin, i'm sure your a nice guy. really. i think you're funny, and smart. really.

but i just have a lot of things going on in my personal life. i really just need some time, i think, to be alone and kind of figure out who i am. because right now, im not ok, and its not ok for me to push that on other people by starting a relationship right now.

i hope im not discouraging you or anything like that, because i know its cliche, but it really is nothing against you, its just me right now, and im sorry you caught me at kind of a weird time. thank you for the coffee though.

I've lost it but the gist is that the side effects of the drug are not a problem they're the actual goal of the drug. The point of the drug is to stop your body doing a thing and the side effects are caused by that. The side effects suck but it's better than dying.

The reason Daraprim hasn't been improved in 70 years is because it works perfectly and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Any other drug would have to treat the problem in a completely different way (read: probably scientifically impossible way).

I'm pretty sure it's folate production. Gimme a sec to try and find what I'm talking about.

kek

The whole site is like this since the election. Granted, it would have been this way no matter who won. Either Sup Forums shitposts or libtards shit on Sup Forums. There was no winning.

hi notch

better have a filthy gook alcoholic who sells user data to finance his addiction

Bunch of fucking commies in this thread. Without extortionate prices for these drugs there would be no drugs in the first place. The researchers have to get paid! Sad!

As opposed to a filthy jew who would sell that data anyway and monetize every single inch of this website and probably accept money by companies to allow shilling.

Oust members of staff who are known con artists, including those known from overseas.
Conduct thorough review of all moderation staff, make changes and removals based on resulting data to improve quality of moderation
Conduct thorough review of boards, to identify gaps in coverage and to possibly merge small and redundant boards if necessary (we don't need two wallpaper boards)
Implement a system to autoban anyone whose user agent reports that they're on a smartphone; a system which serves not to ban people posting from a phone, but to ban people who aren't smart enough to falsify user agent information.

Not him but I have it.

I'm just trying to understand why people post and emulate Trump's tweets with the "Sad!". Like why?

At least Shkreli would be honest about it; Hiroshima is a fucking piece of shit.
