This guy deserves the worst treatment possible.. He's so smug sitting there..

If you don't know this guy, he's the one who raised the cost of meds by 5000%.

 
There are a few theories about, my fave is that he is shorting drug company stocks long term and exposing how much Americans are getting ripped off so new legislation tanks their profits. He is being horrible, but why, I can't see him just wanting to be famous unless its to get girls, because he's terrible with women.
 
If you watch his recent Breakfast Club interview, he actually comes across as a decent guy. He explains his reasoning behind the drug price hike and stuff like that. People are far too quick to get the pitchforks out these days.

Having said that, I have no idea about his current court case or whatever is going on there so I can't comment.

If you cross reference what he said on the Breakfast club with what doctors are saying is actually happening it turns out he's not telling the truth a lot of the time sadly.
 
I'm sure a lot of people and companies have done similar things, he's just a convenient face for the liberal internet brigade to attack and demonise
 
If anything, it's raised awareness of the proliferation of drugs in america. Doesn't really matter to me how he's gone about it, but people are actually talking about the issue now which in a roundabout way is a good thing.
 
I don't really know too much about what he has done other than raising the price 100 fold...be it for a "good" reason or for pure gain, but his attitude when appearing stinks and he is so smug you could spread it with a knife. Therefore.. he is a ****
 
Taking into account the scale on which the pharmaceutical companies exploit medical systems and patients across the globe he is a small fish not worth talking about. In actual fact the way he went on with the whole thing with the obvious baiting, publicity and playing his best to be such a transparent bad guy makes me think he may just have a reason for it all. Probably just a guy who was trying to make a lot of money but even in that case he's made enough noise for people to look a the issue of price of many drugs.
 
Actually he sums up America in general these days.

All about greed, nothing else. No social responsibility apart from "protecting its citizens" and spending ultra-gazzilions on Defence. Its a nice place but also sinister.
