Interviews: Ask Martin Shkreli a Question
Martin Shkreli has agreed to answer your questions. Shkreli is the co-founder of the hedge fund MSMB Capital Management, the co-founder and former chief executive officer (CEO) of the biotechnology firm Retrophin, and the founder and former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals. Shkreli has been active on Twitter about a wide range of topics, including the 2016 presidential election. Most recently, he expressed interest in buying 4chan.
Ask him your questions here, and we'll post the full interview with Shkreli's answers in the near future.

How about you don't give the self important asshole more time in the public eye instead?
Dear Mr. Shkreli, if you got rectal cancer, would it affect your entire body?
Mr. Hu is not a ninja.

When did you first discover that you are a raging douche and why did you decide to embrace it?
being such a weasel and all...
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
Follow-up question: Were you born that way or did you have to work at it?
Why are you encouraging this talentless, odious shit with this sort of coverage?
Oh.. and why is he such an asshole? But mostly I don't care about that -- there's one born every minute.
Better known as “Pharmabro” or let’s increase costs of old meds by 5000%.
This a new low, /. Not even offering to bail out 4chan should elevate this piece of garbage to “stuff that matters.”
My only question would be, “Why haven’t you stopped breathing my oxygen yet?”
Why are you even giving this guy any space on Slashdot. He needs to be ignored...completely.
Do you care about helping others and making society better or is your primary focus you're own bottom line? I suppose you could say the recent $ increase of medicine is so you can research other medicines and hence you're helping society. If that's true please give an example.
Apparently new /. media company is finding new ways to outdo the old one. Have a nice life.
What was your thought process behind buying this one-of-a-kind record?
Any plans on what do with it? I imagine releasing it to the public would drastically improve your public image.
At what point did you decide that it was reasonable to blatantly screw over others for personal profit? What contributed to that decision?
If you rolled over and died this instant would anyone care?
His 15 minutes of fame is up multiple times
Slashdot hits a new all-time low. Again.
... and if you have but decided not to, don't you think you should consider it again?
If I wanted to ask someone who should be in prison a question, I'll just pay a visit to my local penitentiary... or write to Hillary Clinton.
I won't have anything to do with that guy, and shame on Slashdot for providing a platform to him.
In as much detail you care to provide, how did you get where you are today?
Interpret that as you will.
Colin Dean Go a year without DRM
You! Yes, you! You there, about the press the "Reply" button - think about what you're doing.
Chances are you want to ask Martin Shkreli why he's such an utterly foul piece of human excrement - of course you do, it's what we're all thinking - but what will it achieve? I'm happy to see that the users of Slashdot have already asked this question several times, so that ground has been covered.
So what can you do? My suggestion is: nothing. Don't hit Reply. Don't ask a question. Shkreli didn't get to be King of the Douchebags by having a thin skin, but if anything's going to wound him... it's nothing. No responses. No-one caring. No-one even expressing their disdain for him.
So how about it? Just close the tab, and move on. Do more for the good of humanity than Martin Shkreli ever will simply by sitting on your arse and doing nothing. It's the right thing to (not) do.
systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
You're really just Eric Cartman tweeting under a pseudo-name, right?
What is your opinion of the present size of the modern financial sector, both in the US and globally?
If the size, scale, and scope of modern finance beneficial to the economy or not?
Who's your daddy and what does he do?
I take it none of the haters has bothered to watch the interview in which he indulges Vice Magazine. He is surprisingly human, candid, and intelligent in his discourse therein. Also, he offered an interview with
a major affiliate in which he more or less trounced the two anchors who grilled him about Turing's price-hike strategy. This guy is funny as hell and he turns-out to be a rather likable character, actually. I would challenge readers to watch the more recent interviews he has given.
Fuck that guy. Fuck slashdot for legitimising him. This should not be allowed to happen, please cancel it.
How does it feel to be so hated that even Donald Trump won't accept your endorsement (though he's fine with David Duke and Vladimir Putin endorsing him)?
Support Right To Repair Legislation.
. . . for your soul? Do you notice it missing?
How did you become such a successful and well respected member of society?
to get interviewed by slashdot?
Build a Man a Fire, and He'll Be Warm for a Day. Set a Man on Fire, and He'll Be Warm for the Rest of His Life.
Why are you giving this worthless piece of shit the time of day?
Chas - The one, the only.
THANK GOD!!!
What has this person done of note, other than charge lots of money for a product? I imagine some here will try to be civil, and ask him a serious question, but why? He is not a remarkable person, so please do not treat him as such. I know, I know, everyone is interesting in their own way, but then, we might as well interview a stomped cockroach on Slashdot next.
I agree with you. Shkreli is a fine, upstanding person. Also, TRUMP 2016!
Final confirmation /. has jumped the shark.
Should compulsory licensing of all medicines be the norm rather than the exception and drug patents be banned. All drug research is based on basic research funded by the NSF so it does not seem fair that Pharma companies get to make the large profits based on doing the last 30% of the journey of bringing a drug to market. A reasonable 50% profit margin over manufacturing costs and a one time bounty based on the importance of the drug should be enough Profit motive .
Such bounties could be announced in advance like the Ansari prizes
This would refocus the Pharma industry from just trying to make money and instead on treating sickness.
It would also make it unattractive for Wall Street Assholes to come to the Pharma Industry and the Scientists could work in peace.
**Life is too short to be serious**
What he deserves is an early grave.
But it can be summed up with one:
"How much for you to kill yourself? Maybe if we all chip in, we could get rid of you."
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Never heard of him.
Slashdot has sunk to low bar :(
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Martin,
Is all of the irrational hatred you receive as a result of drawing attention to how the medical industry reconciles drug patents and generics with the FDA worth it? People who read past "ZOMG PRICE HIKE" learned that the FDA makes the process to genericize drugs like Daraprim harder than it should be. The idea being that perhaps if the FDA wasn't so obstructionist the market on Daraprim would never have been cornered in the first place.
Follow-up: What's it like to be so based?
Serious question. Do you experience guilt or shame differently than other people, or lack these experiences?
What do you want with it? Any changes planned if you acquire it? PS. Do it, I'm interested in the outcome
What if all of Slashdot refused to ask this guy any serious questions?
I think we should refuse...he priced-gouged lifesaving medicines...he's not some fun trickster he's a villain pure and simple.
I think what he did should be criminal.
Let's ask him things like, "When do you think you'll finally go to jail?"
or, "Have you been examined by a mental health professional for narcissistic personality disorder?"
Thank you Dave Raggett
What you did makes me want to bash your skull in. Whether it was lawful or not, whether it adheres to capitalist principles or not, it takes QUITE an amount of egoism and delusions of grandeur to pull that off without losing sleep.
So my question is this: If you think basic human ethics don't apply to you, why should I not come over there, kick your teeth to the curb and take from you whatever I damn well please?
I'm done, 16 years reading with this site & about the last 2 debating whether its worth my time. Thanks for putting the nail in the coffin.

Are they rose tinted, or do they smell like the rotted ass of a dead cow, much like your personality?
Place something witty here
I'm not even sure if the word "vitriol" is strong enough a word to describe the attitudes Slashdot commenters have towards this man. And I don't blame them.
I'm curious if that means that anyone who will asks an honest question will be modded down as Troll.
But I must say I am surprised and intrigued. If this man will be honest with his answers, then let me be honest with my questions.
Mr. Shkreli, your many business decisions position you as a strong capitalist, and you have had many successes in your career. Yet you have received much criticism for many of your decisions, actions, and opinions, which often place profits ahead of individual interests. Do you believe leaders with a strong sense of empathy can succeed in business?
You've succeeded at a lot of things, and probably don't need any more money. What motivates you to wake up every morning, and get out to work? What keeps you going? What really makes you happy (or what really puts a smile on your face)?
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
What communication, if any, was received from insurance companies in regards to their unwillingness to absorb the price increase? Was there any negotiation or timeline given? Did they just stop covering the drug upon receiving the inflated bill or inform you that they would take such action?
What is the ethical system that guides you?
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
He is only successful because of a set of byzantine laws that force Americans to pay 10 or 20 times more for drugs than what they cost in other first world countries.
love is just extroverted narcissism
Hey Martin, what do you think of Obamacare, and if anything what would you fix about it? Would you repeal it outright? What does america really need to fix about healthcare?
Are you just trolling? Is there a Neo-Nazi Pepe hiding at the end of the rainbow?
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
dear martin,
at what point did you realize you were one of the most hated people in the world, and what have you done to improve your standing.
i can actually answer it for you : from childhood, and nothing
Do you know how to program? What is your favorite language?
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
Why would you want to give this bag of dicks any attention at all?
"Both of your hedge funds collapsed, Turing and Retrophin both fired you, and KaloBIOS went bankrupt under your tenure. That covers every single independent business venture you have ever had. Would you say this proves you are very stupid AND an extremely bad businessman?"
If this is the type of stunts you plan on pulling with your new management then It may be time to delete my account.
Why would you think we care what that waste of oxygen has to say?
Sorry, teleporters just kill you and then make a copy. A perfect, soul-less copy.
If this didn't play right into his hands, it might make for a worthwhile exercise. If it resulted in intelligent discourse, the decision might be forgiven. This is a play for attention by a self-centered child and the editors of Slashdot have not proved their intelligence by allowing it.
I'm sure the advertisers will be happy, though, with the site visits it generates. And, in the end, who cares about integrity when you have money?
The only good thing is that future generations will not know or care who the hell this guy is. And, the way things are going around here, they won't ever have heard of Slashdot, either -- unless it's mentioned as a cautionary example in an article about media institutions that ran themselves into the ground.
Why are you such a greedy, smug POS?
Does it hurt when I punch you like this?
Have you ever considered suicide?
Follow up question:
If not, would you? please.
Martin,
I was offered an opportunity to write an essay on pharmaceutical pricing, so I jumped at the chance to advocate for an unpopular opinion supporting free-market based pricing.
I want to make this interesting for you. I've watched many of your debates on YouTube where ignorant college students ask rude questions and express ignorant opinions. I'm going to try to do better:
Question 1: You've become an overnight household name as a consequence of a manufactured controversy. Since then, you've managed to grow a cult-following by engaging the controversy rather than hiding from the attention. Do you enjoy your new celebrity status enough to justify the headaches the media attention has brought you?
Question 2: Prescription drug prices don't seem to follow the same price trends as most other consumer commodities. Can you cast some insight into the process of pricing a prescription medication? Do you have any thoughts on the fairness of the perception that drug prices are excessively volatile? Is this perception deserved? In either case, what are some of the underlying causes behind prescription drug price volatility?
Question 3: Do you believe the environment for pricing pharmaceuticals in the United States is optimal, or favorable to innovation and research that best benefits patients?
Question 4: You've frequently expressed your desire to invest more money in researching new treatments and cures for diseases. What changes or reforms to the United States healthcare industry and relevant regulations would be most effective in maximizing health outcomes for patients?
Question 5: What is the single most counterproductive aspect of the United States legal and regulatory structure surrounding health care and drug research?
Question 6: In most colleges, the computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering departments are awash with student interest in these majors. Do you feel that the healthcare industry is suffering from a "brain drain" or talent-loss as a result of differences in perceived profitability and ROI for those education dollars? If so: do you expect the common desire to found a Silicon Valley "Unicorn" startup could be redirected to inspire those students to research treatments for diseases if the government changed its approach to healthcare regulations?
Question 7: In my biology class, I learned that there are many sponges in the mediterranean which appeared to offer opportunities to research new antibiotics. The academic who was researching these sponges lamented about a lack of interest from the pharmaceutical industry in researching new antibiotics because the ones we had now worked "well enough". When I encounter news stories like this: http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/23/bashar-al-assads-war-syria-could-spell-end-antibiotics-498035.html I'm left with some level of dissonance between two anecdotes which seem impossible to reconcile. Clearly, victims of war are not especially well-equipped to vote with their dollars, but this alleged lack of interest in researching new antibiotics seems endemic of a more systemic issue. Do you believe the search for new antibiotics deserves more research funding than they currently receive? Is there a hype-gap between the threat of antibiotic resistance being portrayed in the media and the risk antibiotic resistance actually poses? Do you believe that antibiotic research funding reflects an appropriate priority level relative to the risk these superbugs pose?
Question 8: Antibiotic resistant tuberculosis is alleged to be a growing problem in some developing countries such as India. Do you believe that this would be less of a problem if generic drugs were unavailable? Would increasing the supply of "affordable antibiotics" likely make this problem better, or worse? Is it hopeless to attack a public health problem by manipulating drug prices, when the core issue is malinvestment in sanitation infrastructure?
Sorry for the long list! Huge fan!
Respectfully,
Hogan
Shkreli should give me a job, get some good guy Shkreli points at a low price!
We need the Katz-man to do this interview with Martin Shkreli just to create synergy between the interviewer and interviewee. Newt Gingrich can fill the water bottles.
To Mr Shkreli:
Given your own experience as a hedge fund manager, what is your insight on the direction of cryptocurrency and blockchain, given its crypt-anarchic roots and its recent mainstream adoption by major banks?
To Rest of Slashdot:
It wouldn't be slashdot if we didn't get our daily dose of bitcoin news now would it?
... and let me punch your smug little face over and over again?

Do you get a lot of death threats?
I am genuinely curious. As a person of normal to modest means, I receive no threats, have never been robbed as it is obvious I have nothing worth stealing, and otherwise do not live in fear. Do you? Please explain a little what it's like and how you deal with the negative reaction of society at large aims at you.

How do you feel about cat videos on YouTube?
Hi Martin, I'm a huge fan of yours. You are a massively successful businessman who isn't afraid of being politically incorrect and that has a lot of appeal to many of us. We are right now supporting Donald Trump who shares a lot of your positive traits, but it looks like the system has been stacked by crooked hillary against him. So I would ask if you would consider running for president some day? I don't really see any other highly skilled and respectable candidates for my vote so I think you would be an absolutely huge and solid candidate. Thanks!
So I asked a question about morales and it was deleted??
Emacs or vi, you excrement-coated human enema nozzle?
That is all.
Yes, everyone loves to hate on this guy, partly because of the obnoxious persona he presents. However, if you actually follow the guy closely, his heart is in the right place with regard to curing rare diseases. So here goes: 1) What advice would you give to young entrepreneurs? Are there any particular lessons you had to learn the hard way? 2) Are you interested in treating/curing senile diseases and ways to significantly extend human life? 3) What role, if any, do you think the government should play in pharmaceutical industry, as well as healthcare as a whole? 4) When can we expect Harambe to live again?
All this anger, but my understand of him price gouging, is that he was gouging the government and the insurance companies. Can anyone link actual research that shows that actual american humans either A) went without medicine or B) were refused the free medicines his company offered to the patients who were unable to procure the medicine through their insurance company?
This kid is made out to be a terrible human, because of his douchbaggery towards the government, and we hate him WHY?!
Here is what I recommend you tell Mr. Shkreli:
"We are sorry, Mr. Shkreli, but an overwhelming number of our readers have asked us to cancel our planned question-and-answer session with you. Accordingly, we have decided not to submit any questions to you. You can read the discussion that lead to this decision here."
Why are you such a scumbag? Did your parents teach you, or do you learn to be literal human filth on your own?

I like bath salts but I don't like injecting it into my penis. Can you invent some bath salts that I can snort?
* Just showed up to this post and waded through all the not-actual-question posts of people expressing themselves, ready to emit some signal amongst the noise *
I read a Vice article/video heard some interesting viewpoints from you about where people should constructively channel their anger regarding big pharma, insurance, and the abuses Congress permits to happen and how money fits into it. You've talked about how what you do provides legitimate service and benefit, and while I maintain healthy skepticism, it left me curious to learn more specifically about what you meant.
How could / would you use your financial success to promote these benefits further? Besides advice that generally anyone (or at least the /. audience) could do to take action, would you be willing to hire talented software developers (I'm lining up options for my next job, btw) to apply some data science that would both lower costs for people and provide better healthcare? Sort of like what Cambia does, but you could incubate your own operation before trying to launch a full company.
I'm full of ideas, but I'm short on time having a full job. In summary: what could you do with your money and knowledge that could help people more? Feel free to contact me about it.
Galaga, I agree completely.
And to Slashdot Mods and community members, this is the first time I can say in my 16-year membership here at Slashdot that I can say I'm honestly disappointed in its behavior. What I'm seeing displayed here is a mob-mentality peer censorship at play. And while I do not disagree one iota that this man does not deserve the criticism he receives on a daily basis from the public for what he has done, I think it's a rare and unique opportunity that we can actually engage in discussion with this man. He is a quintessential example of the dangers of capitalism, and I have no doubt that he would sell you the rope you would use to hang him with if he could. ** Understanding his mentality can be incredibly beneficial to our society and our community, and I urge you all to exercise a more civil attitude towards this interview.
Or, to put it another, more blunt way: Don't let this man drag you down to his level. He'll beat you with experience, and we're better than that.
** To inject a little humor into the conversation, if he did sell you something to hang him with, he'd probably insist on using this.
Why did you steal money from Retrophin to pay off investors in your failed hedge fund?
Follow up question, How much will you enjoy prison? After all they like assholes in prison.
There is absolutely no good reason to give this person a voice. He is horrible, he didn't even deny it. Then luckily for us, he got arrested. We should instead focus on what to do to prevent his sort of asinine behavior in the future, as we merely got lucky this time.
How exactly are we going to prevent this sort of scum from jacking the price of life saving drugs, particularly those that impact a larger portion of the population. (epipen?)
If someone were to tie a noose around your neck, tie the other end to the trailer hitch of a pickup truck, and then drag your body through the street until there was nothing left but a skull with a few clumps of meat hanging from it, should the truck be a Chevy or a Ford?

If the role of money is to equate the work of the candlestick maker to the work of the accountant to the work of the airline pilot... and the amount of pay is proportionate to the contribution to society (rough jobs pay more, easy jobs pay less), how do you deserve such a salary? Is it really brilliant to buy a company and jack the prices up when that causes pain to the society that would reward you so?
Time for a new Political party in the US (or two!) One is off the rails Other cant pony up a leader.
Mr. Shkreli, where do you plan on being buried?
I would like to start a business running day trips for people wishing to dance/urinate on it after you pass. I expect it to be most profitable.
Thanks in advance.
Since we've seen that you are willing to walk over piles of human bodies for money, I'm curious how large of a pile you'd climb? Does the amount of people you're willing to climb over scale linearly or exponentially as the amount of money at the top increases?
If we assume you're minimally willing to climb over at least 10,000 bodies to claim 1 million dollars, how many would you climb for two million?
Would you climb a "Mt. Everest" worth of bodies for a billion dollars?
Do any of their bones crack or pop as you apply weight to their faces? At those heights do you anchor things into them or just grab onto their limbs for support? Have you ever fallen?
Who would you say your average friends are that join you in one of these climbs? Does someone fly a jet up to the summit when you arrive or do you scale back down yourself?
Was any plastic surgery required to produce that cocky ass grin you're always sporting? Do tell.
As an atheist I am skeptical of the idea of a soul, but you've pretty much proved everyone else has one via negation. Nice job!
Many music lovers applaud your work preventing the undoubtedly terrible Wu-Tang album from reaching the airwaves. Would you consider a similar effort for Kanye's upcoming release? It appears Kanye will want significantly more money. How would you feel about collaborating with other music fans, perhaps with a gofundme campaign?
An asshole, or the greatest asshole among a sea of assholes in the pharmaceutical industry?
Hey Martin, ever since you got thrust into the limelight for raising the price on daraprim, I have long held against judging you because I do not (like most others) know a damn thing about the health care market and thus do not understand the implications of raising the price of a drug and what factors go into determining the supply and demand.
Unlike everyone else, I refrain from passing judgment until I understand the health care market so that I can reach an informed conclusion as to what exactly are the implications of raising the price.
Can you explain like I'm 5 the basics of the health care market, including what market forces play into the price of a drug?
Thanks.
Honestly I don't even know why I'm asking. There's about as much chance of these being answered as there was with SCO CEO guy. What was his name again? I don't even remember. I expect unpronounceable last name guy will be equally as memorable.
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
-1 off topic... Because this shitpost has nothing to do with /. editors/ownership right? pfft. I think I'm right on topic.
You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
Hi Mr. Shkreli, long time listener, first time caller. Big fan. I know you've received some flak over the years for your business acumen, but I feel you were doing the best you could in situations beyond your control. That said, do you fund other companies? I have a startup idea I'd like to pitch, but I don't really understand how I'm supposed to bring it to market. Do people ask you for money for ideas like this? Do you give it to them? Can you explain your process for giving people money?
Pence is the dead weight holding Trump down. I wonder if he would have time now to dump him and bring Shkreli on as VP?
Were you dropped on your head as a child?
Hogan you fucking idiot. There is no free market in the existence of patents, a government issued ticket for a monopoly.
Don't be intellectually lazy, I'm a free market lover my self but he is obviously after the opposite of the free market.
The Slashdot question policy since time immemorial has been: One question per post. Bzzt! Try again.

To help express that Slashdot should not go forward with this interview, tag the article "cancel" until it's the top tag. Thank you and don't reply with a question for the Q&A.
Here's how you can break the cancellation to him.

Is it inspiring to be able to look up to people like Martin Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and (insert favorite Kardashian here)?
Slashdot has become increasingly irrelevant, inaccurate, and just plain lazy in their reporting. Offering this individual such as that a forum for fame? Unsupportable.
Did you read the rest of the questions or did you just do a spit take when you saw "free market" in a discussion of drug prices and just instantly hammer out a criticism?
The entire gist of my questions were invitations for Martin to indict the status quo of the industry and explain how more attempts to distort market pricing mechanisms will make the problem worse, not better.
Thank you for reading!

The media portrays your personality to be one of an ego maniacal sociopath. Please understand this is not me calling you a name or attempting to label you. My opinions are reserved from this until I've been able to hear from both sides. I can imagine that you may have something you would like to say or address about the overall negativity media expresses toward your character before people adjudicate personal bias toward it.

If this actually goes through slashdot parent company should donate all ad revenue to a charity the day they post that story.
I guess Martin will have to choose his favorite and spend the rest of his time answering intellectual gems such as:
Q: "Why are you such a douche?"
Q: "How does it feel to be a sociopath?"
Q: "Why does it such?"

When I encounter news stories like this: http://www.newsweek.com/2016/0... I'm left with some level of dissonance between two anecdotes which seem impossible to reconcile. Clearly, victims of war are not especially well-equipped to vote with their dollars, but this alleged lack of interest in researching new antibiotics seems endemic of a more systemic issue. Do you believe the search for new antibiotics deserves more research funding than they currently receive? Is there a hype-gap between the threat of antibiotic resistance being portrayed in the media and the risk antibiotic resistance actually poses? Do you believe that antibiotic research funding reflects an appropriate priority level relative to the ris
Mr. Shkreli, do you believe in God?
Obviously, if there weren't strong IP laws in place, you wouldn't be able to charge monopoly prices on a drug. But how much is too much IP protection? Pharma probably has a more legitimate claim to needing IP protection than the other industries making a stink about it, but where do you draw the line between encouraging development of new IP and blatant protectionism?
Excuse me Ordirules, didn't you know that Slashdot is a safe space now? Obviously these guys have all been triggered super hard by Martin Shkreli and want to censor him to protect their feelings. Guaranteed some of the same posters are people who use the word "SJW" seriously.
Inquiring minds...
Serious question...
How do you manage to sleep at night?
Do you need to take prescription sleeping pills? Have they had any price increases in the several thousand percent range?
I'll see your senator, and I'll raise you two judges.
Mr. Shkreli. Why are you interested in 4chan? Do you plan to turn the free 4chan image boards into a '$500 members only' imageboard ?
He'll just plead the 5th on all questions.
You seemed to be all about listening to Slashdot when you first bought the site. You may have really really misread the site with this one. I urge you to contact Shkreli and say that Slashdot doesn't actually want anything to do with you and send him a poster size printout of goatse.cx signed 4chan for good measure.
The absolute asshurt in this article is hilarious. Actual questions getting modded as troll, crying and screaming and "lol kill urself!" getting modded to +5.
Crying and screaming to not give him attention, yet that is exactly what you're doing by crying and screaming about it.

Fuck you! The ownership of this site is absolutely relevant and you should be ashamed to promote that shitstain of a human being. Go fucking mod a subreddit or 4chan of some other bullshit "community." I've been on /. since 1998. Except for my dice hiatus, I've visited this site on a daily basis for nearly 20 years. I used to set it as the homepage of every machine I touched (which stopped the day taco left). Now it's a fucking wasteland because of people like you.
Tech industry leaders, i.e. Intelligent and moral scientists/engineers/educators/doctors/lawyers, WHOSE COMMENTS ARE THE PRIMARY REASON TO USE THIS WEBSITE, have been getting driven away in droves the last decade by the litany of horrible editors.

And so the quality of the comments has steadily declined. Honestly, this is the worst click bait post I've ever seen, even shittier than the blatant dice ads a few years ago.
You are a fucking shill man. You add nothing.

We all hate Martin Shkreli because he's smug and arrogant about what he does, but look at the Mylan CEO Heather Bresch and Epipen overcharging (her daddy is Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Manchin). She's just as much an asshole but feigns being an honest and compassionate when she's interviewed. http://www.latimes.com/busines... Shkreli is at least honest about his doucheness. Bresch and CEOs like her and for ripping off the taxpayer millions all they get is a slap on the wrist http://www.business-standard.c... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/hea...
But you try shoplifting a stick of gum and watch happens. The golden rule is whoever has the gold the gets to break the rules.
Moral of the story is if you hate this then stop voting for the people that let them do it.
Sometimes, when I consider the choices you've made (at least the ones that are public), I wonder if you have the same "hacking" impulses as the rest of us, and the only difference is that you've found yourself in a place where you're economically capable of hacking in a socially-relevant way.
We all laugh (and cry) at legislators and other people who:
1) Construct poorly-conceived rule systems that permit undesirable behavior.
2) But then complain when people follow the rules and actually behave undesirably.
And, we like to call these people fools for not putting in the work to construct a more robust rule system.
So, in that vein, was the enormous hike in the price of daraprim simply a way to make money? Was it also perhaps the hacker's jeer: "I'm going to take advantage of this situation that was here the entire time, and no one else did it because their thinking was too limited?"
I thought Shkreli was being tried by the feds for securities fraud and embezzlement revolving around his first company (before he started raising the price of cheap drugs to criminal levels).
... would you shave its butt and teach it to walk backwards?
"I'm so moist I'm sticking to the leather." -Kermit the Frog on The Late Late Show
Wow, that's a lot of pitchforks, Slashdot.
Let's take a deep breath for a second and talk about what Shkreli is doing. If you take him at his word, and I do, he is interested in the niche market of pharmaceuticals for rare diseases. In the case of Daraprim (the drug he increased to $750 per pill), it cures Toxoplasmosis. Only a couple thousand people get Toxoplasmosis each year, which might not sound like a small number, except that Daraprim cures it after one regimen.
Daraprim has the market cornered not because the FDA is slow to approve alternatives, but because companies don't give a shit about a drug that sells a couple hundred thousand pills per year. Daraprim has been the drug for 75 years. There has been no innovation, and luckily there have been no mutations that have made Daraprim ineffective. If there had been, those couple thousands of people would just die each year, because it's unlikely anyone would invest R&D into developing a new drug. Even so, Shkreli believes Daraprim is not that great and he can do better.
Shkreli's theory is that you can actually make money in the rare drug business and that it's morally right to do so (and morally wrong to ignore these patients just because their disease is too rare to be a worthwhile market). He raised money on this theory, bought Daraprim, and increased the price *to insurers* as planned to make the acquisition worthwhile and fund the development of a better drug for Toxoplasmosis.
Does this mean anyone is paying $750 per pill out-of-pocket? No.
Does this mean hospitals are paying $750 per pill to stock the drug? No. Almost all hospitals pay somewhere around $1 per pill.
Does this mean people without insurance are screwed? No. Shkreli gives away the pills to these people as inexpensively as he is legally allowed to (I can't remember if that's free or if he is required to sell it for what he charges the hospitals, but in either case it's as cheap as he's allowed to make it.)
Is $750 per pill a large amount for a rare-disease cure? Absolutely not. It's small relative to many other drugs with even larger markets.
Does this mean our insurance rates go up? In theory, yes. That is what insurance is for. You pay a little bit more than your expected benefit (probability X $amount) in order to cap your downside risk. In this case, the diseases are so incredibly rare that its contribution to your health insurance premium is not measurable.
Shkreli's point is that areas of the rare disease pharma market are not functioning, and he believes he can make them function. In this case, that means these drugs are mis-priced.
For someone to be controversial, there has to be two sides. Reading the comments here, there is clear universal hatred for Shkreli. That is not controversy and suggests that people here have not spent any time trying to understand what Shrkeli is doing. It doesn't mean you have to agree with it.
Any other personally identifying info?
Who is Martin Shkreli?
Have you ever fallen asleep at the keybhanusdiog?

Can I suck your dick, daddy?
Hello Martin,
What's your favorite rock band? 90s area?
Sometime's I am so turned off by chicks and get uncomfortable and can't get hard during sex. I feel like as a man I am stereotyped to be a sexual fiend and if I am not in the mood for sex I am somehow a loser. What do you think? Should I be ashamed if I can't get it up to someone who I am not turned on by? I am eighteen which is why I have this question in my head a lot.
Huge fan of your work Shkreli! Don't let the haters bring you down, they're just jealous. :)
I have a few questions if you don't mind.
firstly, how's your magic the gathering going?
Second, how much weight can that Wu-Tang album support? I suggest securing it between two vice grips and balancing weights of increasing value on the center of it to determine how much it holds.
I know the Internet can be a mean place. Don't let all the haters and trolls ganging up get to you!
Any tips on how to get started?
Hello Mr. Shkreli,
I am grateful to be able to ask you a question and look forward to hear your response. I am applying to a private University (specifically to USC), but it is on the complete other side of the country and will cost me a pretty penny. As a business man, I assume you beleive in risk for reward. The career I am working toward will be able to provide me with extremely good money, but it may be a rough couple of years at first. Any advice you can give me? Again, I thank you for your time
Sincerely,
Gio

Can you unblock me from ur utube? I dont know why i am blocked. I think ur cool.
Do you think that the Daraprim scandal was inspiration for CA's prop 64? If it passes, what do you think are likely repercussions?
I've been reading about you and watching Martin related videos on the Tube. I'm interested in you, but every time I lean in, a chord is struck when you buck up. If the roles were reversed I would think, "Who do you think you are? You're no one important in my life and you're trying to decide if you have a good opinion of me or not?" I understand that's incredibly crummy. Alas, I'm captivated by the fact that so many people have decided to hold legitimate hate toward you without having much merit to back it up. It's almost as if I want to defend you by nature of fighting hate. So the jury is still out and while it doesn't matter...I'm still undoubtedly interested in you. Love one another. x
When would be a good time to short HMB (Harambiological)?
how did you come into ownership of your patents, is this something a poor fuck like me should consider persuing or are there prior steps to be taken to reach such a position where it's beneficial to enter investing/holding patents???? Also do you believe in meme magic and why? thoughts on bitcoin?
why dont you release the album. by making it an exclusive album, ur turning music into a fine art. that fucking sucks. fuck wu tang for doing that. anyways nothing they've made or ever will make will compare to 36 chambers. you're just a dumbass for buying it.
Random question, but I'm weird like that. What kind of headphones do you use?
Why you such a dog cunt, brah?
1. Do you have any open information on how many have used your "one-dollar a pill program".
2. I've tried to find a good video, podcast and/or article with you explaining why you raised the price of daraprim. Any suggestions, or could you maybe explain here?
From the very beginning I have not asked one thing from you. Went against people that gave you death threats and have stuck by you before you became even more noticeable. Way before the the controversy and I want to know if you care about my feelings and think of me as a friend or do you disregard me like trash. Yes I don't like the two that trashed your office and heckled you, they are filth you can do better. Out of this I want you to succeed but if you don't care to have supportive people in your life let me know. That is the respectful thing to do. ðY'S=B
How do you feel with all the hate? Obviously you're having great fun with it a lot, especially considering the ignorance of most of the haters, but what's your view on everyone hating on you?
Look at all these mad people. Disappointed in them for being unable to appreciate my G Shkreli.
Anyway, why you bailing out 4chan? Like, I appreciate you doing it but I can't figure out what you stand to gain from it.
Before anyone really knew about you I stuck with you through death threats and days that were awful. I would text you positive affirmations to keep you in a positive mind set. I do think you are brave to take on as many haters as others would crumble or kill themselves. You know I have never asked you for a thing exspecialy the stupid cd I told you to burn. We have texted and I have given you information and you respond with nice. I'm not a fan nor do I want to date. I just want you to be successful and not let those two whores disrespect your property or your computer. It's me strawberry blonde, what do you think of me as I have stood by you from before you became known. I know your honest because I have pushed your buttons but you have never called me out. Do you care for me, do you trust or consider me as a friend. I have asked you to check your Facebook messages so you see where I coming from. Every female that you did not care for you have called out. But not me, and I know you see my messages through mute. I just wish you would give me the same respect I have given you and answer my question. Stella
Because I do....
Is it because you have a personality disorder? Have you ever been diagnosed with one? You seem insanely narcissistic to me.
You just give off those murder vibes. I could totally see you beating and killing at hooker, you know, like for fun or something.
I concur. He must have cheated to get his success. When I get my success, it shall be richly deserved.
You justify your absurd Price Hiking of critical medications on the grounds that it is the Government and the Insurance companies that pay those hikes, not the consumer. However this argument is ultimately a semantic one: Gouging the Insurers, especially medical insurers, is what has led to a health insurance crisis in the first place. All insurance cost is, sooner or later, passed on to the consumer in premium, no sane, solvent insurer sells insurance (over the long term) for less money than they make in premium they take in, and profit on how they invest it. So when you gouge insurers, best case scenario is that you are hiking insurance prices to all consumers. When you gouge the government, that means you are gouging the tax payer, you are leaching tax money that could ultimately be spent on other programmes. I recognise your stated desire to invest this money in R&D. Laudable in theory, but in practice, what you are actually saying is, you want to do R&D, but you aren’t good enough, or promising enough, to get grants or investment, so instead you are going to gouge taxpayers and anyone who purchases medical insurance on essential drugs in the hopes of raising enough money to fund Research that no experts, investment firms or governments have seen anything promising in. Now independent research is fine and well and good, and governments and investors can be short-sighted, or outright contradictory in their desires and goals. But if you aren’t good enough to interest anyone at all in funding this research, or confident enough to put your own money into it, then why should people not be angry at what amounts to, at the least; profiteering?
i dont know who you are but ive been noticing a lot of hate towards you in here and elsewhere and it doesnt seem to be related to you being a jew which is super weird because normally thats enough on the internets, so the question is, wtf did you do? also, in case you are not a jew, arent you dissapointed with yourself and your behaviour?
Good luck.
Are you disappointed that so few people, even the supposedly intelligent on /., understand how valuable your contributions are to the medical field by making insurance companies, and indirectly, other pharmaceutical companies fund research into drugs for diseases that have otherwise been orphaned since they do not seem 'profitable' enough to cure by big pharma and their investors?
Do you find it ironic that you are taking the rap for big pharma since you are a real person with a name rather than a large, faceless multinational?
Given the willingness of SJW's and others who think like them to use their hurt feelings as justification for violence, do you have sufficient personal protection in the form of armed guards?
Anyway, thanks for being the hero we deserve.
Why are you such a greedy asshole?
I don't guess there's any point in asking him how he got such a punchable face.
There are a lot of things that have subtly been pissing me off about Slashdot for a while now, one of the recent things having been giving that propaganda-spewing arsehole thunderf00t attention - and now they are giving this other attention-seeking arse attention.
I'm not going to continue reading a site that's getting increasingly subverted editorially, by Libertarian-leaning propaganda - I'll maybe come back to the site again in a year or two, like the way I did after the Slashdot Beta debacle waned away - but for now I'm just fúcking done with the site.

you're such an ignorant tool that you even managed to get the conservatives on slashdot to down-moderate your comment as overrated. that's on par with being a rupert murdoch follower and getting corrected on fox news.
here's a quick hint for your second softball, there - the conservatives like the aca. hell, they fucking wrote it. if you don't believe me, then look at the proposed alternatives that they have all been promising to pass in its wake; none are less than 90% of the same shit. the only thing the republicans don't like about obamacare is the obama part.
To what extent would you say have your actions were reinforced by support from the social bubble that surrounds you? On a scale of 1 to 10, how normal would your peers consider your actions? What would be their common justification? Now that you see how unpopular your actions have been, would you use your intelligence/network for a common good? Give me once concrete example if you can. If you were to change your course of direction for this common good, what consequences would you foresee facing in the near future? Not trying to poke fun, but trying to understand. I am a logical human being. You acted, and the common network reacted and now you face consequences, some of them being judicial, some of them related to disruption of networks (the common people). That is all normal. Of course, I don't like or trust you myself from what I've seen and evaluated how your actions misalign with my values. I think if you were in my shoes you'd perfectly agree. Other than that, emotion is just a channel for the media to take control of our lives. In my opinion 100% bashing posts are a little foolish.
you little man.......how dare you smirk in front of congress and hide behind your pathetic lawyers. You are disgrace to this country. Go back to mommy, little man. I think she needs to teach you better. YOU will be found out. You are already being found out. You are a moron and idiot. I am sure you did not pass high school.
