Why hopefully? It seems appropriate the CEO and owner takes liabilty for his company.
It’s not like he’ll face any real consequences. CEOs get easily payable fines, not prison time.
- monocasa 8y agoIt would be unfortunate to have a Skreli situation where we just randomly take out the one with the most punchable face rather than dealing with the structural issues that have created a whole industry doing what he was doing.
- rhizome 8y agoShkreli was by no measure a dominant player in anything other than the tiny niche he exploited for a short time.
- monocasa 8y agoSure, he just had the most punchable face.
- Declanomous 8y agoShkreli messed up by continually taunting US law enforcement. He probably wouldn't have had the book thrown at him if he wasn't constantly talking about how great it was to be an evil capitalist, and instead gave the mealy-mouthed platitudes that every other CEO of pharma companies does.
- benatkin 8y agoYep, he's the poster boy for "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
- bumblebritches5 8y agoand Zuck doesn't?
- rhizome 8y agoThat's an odd definition of "random."
- georgyo 8y agoI think his point is that more than him should feel consequences, not just the slap on the wrist for the CEO.
- drb91 8y agoFine percentage of revenue, then. I don’t see how going after individuals would disincentivise the system unless they go after a significant percentage of the organization. Otherwise there’s no point to penalizing people at all—it’s just outrage theater.
