If you're such a champion of insurance companies, there are literally hundreds of personal injury attorneys (read: serial fraudsters) and their pet "doctors" who deserve to be sentenced to lifetimes of forced labor before Shkreli deserves to serve a second in prison (for securities fraud, btw). Where's the passion against ambulance chasers? Not enough bloggers writing hit pieces on 2nd rate bug-souled parasites? Why not? Why's the gifted Brooklyn immigrant from a war-torn country you've never heard of get all the heat?
Because these scams have been going on forever. They're built into the system by the parasitizers whom it protects. It's "the way things work". If you catch onto the grift, if you even come close to it as an outsider, that's when they start making trouble for you. That's what happened with Shkreli. Send him to prison on some unrelated charge, drag him through the mud, then celebrate the defeat of your "villain". And totally miss the point. You changed nothing. You took out a scapegoat for people who are effectively real life caricatures of the imaginary villain they built up for you to strike down. You don't have a problem with Shkreli, you have a problem with our clown-world healthcare system. The real world doesn't run on warm sentiments you for whatever reason don't associate with Shkreli's face. It runs on THE RULE OF LAW, and you haven't even engaged it except in some contorted vengeful fashion against a wholly lawful (and might I say lofty-spirited) young man. Shkreli should be living free right now, and your complaints should be directed to your legislator.
