He doesn't understand why people hate him because he can't step down from his ego trip enough to honestly consider the consequences of his actions. Of all the maligned people in the news deserving of sympathy, an unrepentant Wall Street CEO gloating about profiting by unconscionable means shouldn't rise to consideration. The reason there's so much antipathy lately toward white-collar criminals is backlash against judges and prosecutors being sympathetic and lenient toward their fellow clean-cut professionals. That antipathy has only manifested in angry protests and op-eds by the powerless, not the prosecutorial and judicial decisions that Shkreli is in the hands of now. You could say we're all good guys on some kind of path. The typical third-world warlord is 'just being "successful" as it was always defined to him.' Everyone should get society's best attempt at impartial justice and a compassionate, non-violent, and restorative treatment. But poor folks like Eric Garner are the ones who've been lacking this justice. Shkreli will probably get probation, a fine, and some community service like the handful of executives offered up after the last financial crisis.
