Your thoughts on Martin Shkreli. Sociopath?

I think he is playing a role in a political charade.

Probably out of it he will get the charges for the ponzi scheme dropped or something.

He did talk about not minding being called the bad guy in the beginning and doing things that complimented that image but he also said that he's not sure he enjoys it anymore. Another thing I found odd is in the HoR the closing statement was a plea for Shkrelli to use his platform and take a stand against the bad practices and go down in history as a hero rather than a villain. If he is a narcissist, I wonder how he'd react to that.

I am pretty sure he is just a dickwad.

i find it hard to diagnose him with anything without knowing the true nature of the situation.

i think there is a fine line between hero and villain in business. even with his hedge fund scheme, assuming it's true, is he a hero or a villain?

what sort of people invest in companies like his? mostly greedy people. is it wrong, and therefore sociopathic, to screw greedy people, to beat them at their own game?

my first impression was 'dweeb' and that's it.

His 5th amendment smirks make me want to bitch slap him.

I maintain the right

I know. Does he need to say the whole statement everytime? Can't you just say 5th after a while?

Mmm. Much easier to just shoot the baaaassttaaaard.

Dickwad, dweeb, or f***wit.

Still much easier to just shoot the baaaaassttaaaaard.

I agree. Just kill that son of a bitch.

I am sensing the Mac wants this man to be shot.
