His bail should have been increased by 5000%.
My theory is that the ridiculous price increase for Daraprim was his panicked attempt to make a quick killing so that he could make restitution to those he had defrauded, in the hopes that that might head off the lawsuits and criminal prosecution that were rapidly approaching.
Surely.
Well, then, have they attempted to contact Mr Shkreli’s attorney’s attorney?
(It may be attorneys all the way down.)
How the fuck do you pronounce Shkreli anyway? (ETA: That tangles my tongue. It sounds like the name of a bad guy from Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax.)
Pretty much how it’s spelled ['ʃkrɛ li] (SHKRE-lly)
To me, Shkreli’s arrest puts the whole sorry mess in a different light. Before, he was an entitled asshole engaging in a slightly more egregious example of big business as usual. Now, it seems as though he’s just a hustler who got in over his head. That’s oddly reassuring.
More schadenfreude:

That is actually pretty funny. 
“Interview” with Shkreli: Martin Shkreli on Drug Price Hikes and Playing the World’s Villain - YouTube
Pretty suckatude in this country that it’s OK, legal to raise the price of a drug so much people will die yet steal some $$$ from Wall Street and your busted.
CNBC just showed Shkreli testifying before Congress today. Shkreli invoked the Fifth to all questions except confirming how to pronounce his name (apparently it’s pronounced “scumbag”). I can’t find any video yet, but he smirked throughout his appearance (the picture in this report gives an idea).
Jim Cramer was furious, calling on all the big pharmaceutical companies to disown this guy.
Smirking appears to be his default facial expression. Most people who do that get it punched out of them in childhood, but I guess that never happened to him.
Here’s a video. Hollywood couldn’t create a more contemptible and villainous asshole than Shkreli.
Too bad he’s not in sports…he’d be the hands-down winner of your “most punchable” thread.
He’d make an excellent villain for the next James Bond film. The whole audience would cheer when he met his inevitable demise.
My personal vote would be falling out of a plane at 30,000 feet, with no parachute.
I was thinking that myself.
No, with a golden parachute. Made of real gold. That lands on his smashed carcass and drives it 15 feet into the granite.
Although he’s pleading the 5th, apparently that does not extend to Twitter.
I was thinking a rare but painfully debilitating and ultimately fatal disease, treatable with an easily manufactured drug that sells for ten million dollars a day.
Better would be dying of some horrible tropical disease because the drug to treat it had been taken out of production because it wasn’t profitable enough.
