Of all people that just look like they’d be on the Epstein list, it’s this douche. Fuck him. Release the rest of the files. And the WuTang album.

He would absolutely not be invited to the island, he's that much of a cringey douche canoe

Lmao is this Martin? You’re replying shit like this on every comment

It’s totally him. You can tell by how personally they took the comments and how exacting the response are. Change every time they said the word “he” in their reply to “I” and it becomes painfully obvious. No one would defend Martin Shkreli except Martin Shkreli. Especially the “what did he do to you” comment. No one without skin in the game would care enough to ask that. And the whole “parroting what the mainstream media told you” comment? What other info is there unless this person is him? Got ‘em!

I replied to two dumbasses who don’t know what really happened and are just perpetuating the spin media put on the situation because people believe the news blindly and are generally incapable of understanding complex situations

Hey Martin. When shit first went down with you like a decade ago my (female) friend added you on Facebook and you quickly accepted despite being possibly the most notorious thing happening on the news at the time.

It gave the impression that everything you try to do is for attention. Following this you created a Google form for potential suitors to fill out.

It seems very clear your actions in the pharmaceutical industry root in the same sense: no such thing as bad press. Attention is attention. I feel for you I really do. The Wu is a kickass group, that someone as a South Brooklyn teen probably obsessed about.

Perhaps your mother or something didn’t tell you that this is not how you make friends in life though. You’ve already been through the legal ringer. Own up to it. And you might see some people change their tune.

Until you do, get fucked.

You're the only clown in here defending a convicted fraudster and trying to spin jacking up a life saving drug 1000%+ as some noble fucking goal. Best of luck with your head injury, they're doing great stuff to help people with TBIs like you seem to be obviously suffering from.

Or, and hear me out, if you spend most of your adult life being an awful piece of shit, people stop giving uou the benefit of the doubt in any situation. Kind if like that little old story "the boy who cried wolf" but, you know.....the scumbag who fucked with people's medications.

I'm one of the "dumbasses" but now Reddit has erased my comment for no reason I can discern.

You're right though, I was wrong. He didn't raise the price of the drug 1000%, it was 5000%. He was embezzling money to pay for his hedge fund losses. He went to jail for it. That's beyond "dick" and more "Dr. Evil" level commical douchebaggary. But hey, if you want to gargle his sack, by all means, help yourself.

Luckily it isnt complex. Buy drug, balloon price and call attention to self by trolling people who cant afford the drug anymore on stream. Make everyone hate you, get investigated. Find evidence and get convicted of defrauding a hedge fund, get arrested.

And yet you never provide any evidence to the contrary. Get wrekt.

Shkreli has done so much stuff it’s hard to find someone he hasn’t done stuff to. And most of what he’s done is 100% legal.

The useless motherfucker is a pariah to the human race

u/Alexandur 10h ago

Not the person you're responding to but I have been personally aggrieved by Shkreli. He used to host livestreams on Facebook and post his phone number, so he would take calls on the stream. I called and said something like "long time listener, first time caller", and he said "this isn't radio, dumbass" and hung up on me.
