Was Shkreli right or wrong?

What's Veeky Forums opinion on the way he made his fortune?

Shkreli did nothing wrong

he's /our guy/

Is he our guy or reddit's guy? Those wallstreetbet guys think he is theirs.

This is not at all what he's charged for.

what he was charged for?

People in the west don't die from curable rare diseases, because it would be bad press for a pharma company that had the pill to not give it to the patient that needs it just cus they can't afford it. It would be all over the news if such a case existed.

The deraprim price raise was what insurance companies had to pay. Pharma companies also factors in the amount of rare disease drugs they will end giving away for free to ppl without insurance when they price the drug for insurance. This is why drug companies rarely research rare diseases cus the ROI is trash even if you charge $6,000 a pill. If they do research an RD it's almost always a publicity stunt that's meant to improve their public image but bleeds money.

reddit always culturally appropriates this place

I'm pretty sure the deep state target was put on his back because of what he did with the prices

Literally no one got the drug for free
