- busyant 8y ago> very often slandered and misunderstood. You mean the guy who wrote this? Clearly, he's a diamond in the rough /s. 'Then a letter from Mr. Shkreli came to his home, addressed to his wife. “Your husband has stolen $1.6 million from me,” it read. “Your pathetic excuse of a husband,” the letter added, “needs to get a real job that does not depend on fraud to succeed.” “I hope to see you and your four children homeless,” the letter said. “I will do whatever I can to assure this. Your husband’s arrogance is infuriating, and making an enemy out of me is a mistake.”' -NYTimes, 18 July 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/18/business/dealbook/former-employee-testifies-shkreli-threatened-him-and-his-family.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/18/business/dealbook/former-...

- 1000units 8y agoIf you think that kind of reaction is out of line, please kindly let me know where you keep your 1.6 million dollars. Thanks.
- viraptor 8y agoIt is out of line. It's one thing to be angry at a person, another to wish bad things on their family/children who likely had no part is the issue.
- 1000units 8y agoAny time we find ourselves benefactors of evil, we must advocate against it and thank anyone who may have explained to us where we stand.
- viraptor 8y agoAdvocating against bad actions is different than going homeless because your parents did something wrong. You can't assume that they didn't and can't assume they deserve any punishment for what their parents do.

- HyperTalk2 8y agoIt's pointless to ask any of these peanut gallery NPCs where they keep their 1.6 million dollars, because their milquetoast "peace and love, maaaan" world view guarantees they will never have what it takes to earn such an amount in the first place.
- busyant 8y agoYou've threatened someone's wife and children because of an alleged crime commited by their husband/father?

- geowwy 8y agoHe was unfairly maligned about the medication thing. After that he decided to play troll but got arrogant and took it too far.
