"Pharma Bro" $5M Bail Revoked, Is Going To Max Sec Prison...

Martin Shkreli, aka "Pharma Bro", who made headlines after he increased the price of an AIDS drug by 5,000% to cover losses brought on by an investment swindle, and who has acted like a total jerk throughout the scandal, had his US$5,000,000 bail revoked by a Federal judge following a series of highly questionable actions:

To be remanded to a maximum security Federal prison couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy; any one who would deny medications to a very vulnerable segment of the population just to cover his lying ass is beyond any judicial compassion; I think and hope Shkreli will find his wealth will not protect him behind bars and I hope he tries acting like a jerk to some of the other inmates; they do not suffer fools lightly...

But but but Ain't this the free market crap that so many people like????

His company he can set the prices and the market will respond. If people die off, well, that's just collateral damage..... they probably weren't stockholders anyway.

Maybe the free market paradigm ain't right for every industry?
