    I know that as a lover of the market and as a brave patriot, I will be crying when the judge throws the book at him and sends him away. For two main reasons: 1) "securities fraud" is same vague Obamaesque SJW cuck crime which doesn't exist in reality and only diverts police resources from beating up homeless degenerates and 2) he exposes the government for what it really is. He's the hero this country needs, but he's a hero we don't deserve.

    Prosecutors seek gag order for pharma bro Martin Shkreli after his courthouse rant
    Shkreli surprised journalists by talking to them at length unprompted; He called federal prosecutors in Brooklyn the "junior varsity"; He said one investor who testified against him wasn't a victim because she ended up making four times her money back; "Do I want to exonerate myself? Yes."

    The gag might have been for his own good. I haven't had an opinion on this because the media made him out to be a jerk by his own statements. So my feeling was that it could be true, or the guy is being stupid and giving ammunition to the media.

    Nearly everyone is angry about the high prices of prescriptions. When someone tells the media they can charge whatever they want, which they can, then the media can easily destroy them. Add Hillary Clinton making this an issue during the democrat convention.

    So when he mouths off, then law enforcement digs its heels in and goes after anything they can find. At any given time any one of us has very likely broken a law of some sort and not even known it. So we all become vulnerable to "deep state" bureaucrats just looking for a reason to put us in prison. "Intent" only matters for Clinton.

    It's time for changes in the "establishment." If not, it's George Orwell's 1984.

    I have no problem with ethics-less liberal democrats get put in prison.
