I predict that Pharma Bro Shkreli is soon headed to jail for a long time. Greed may be Good, but clumsy displays of arrogance such as this cannot be tolerated..
http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/02/pharma-bro-goes-to-washington/460011/ -------------------snip At a hearing at the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Thursday morning, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican from Utah and chairman of the committee, asked former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli a question that was, perhaps, not really a question at all: “What do you say to that single, pregnant woman who might have AIDS, no income, and she needs Daraprim in order to survive?” And likewise, he got a non-answer in return. “On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question,” Shkreli said. “Do you think you've done anything wrong?” Chaffetz fired back. “On the advice of counsel,” Shkreli responded, “I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.” He continued thus a couple more times, until Rep. Trey Gowdy, a Republican from South Carolina, asked him if his name was pronounced “Sss-kreley” “Yes sir,” Shkreli said. “See, you can answer some questions,” Gowdy said. “I intend to follow the advice of my counsel, not yours,” Shkreli said. [...] Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government. — Martin Shkreli (@MartinShkreli) February 4, 2016 <https://twitter.com/MartinShkreli/status/695264859907317761>
