I don't think he was a scapegoat per se, he did actually do illegal things. But I imagine that things would have gone a lot better for him if he had not jacked up the price of Daraprim to the extent he did. It seems that drew attention to his previous activities.

> jacked up the price of Daraprim Which by the way is completely legal and common in the pharmaceutical market, but the media outrage and SJW backlash made it seem illegal.

He didn’t hide from what he was doing - he embraced it. Make no mistake, big pharma is doing the exact same things. I for one am appreciative that he called attention to the power monopolies have over the pricing of medicine. He had the book thrown at him because he drew attention to what modern capitalism is.
