For those of you who don't know, or don't remember, Shkreli is the Wall Street jackass who raised the price of a vital HIV/AIDS medication by 5000%. He is literally profiting off of human pain, sadness, and death. For that reason, nothing makes me happier than this story.
[quote]Price-hiking pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli has made bizarre claims that he's been scammed out of $15million when he tried to exclusively buy Kanye's new album.
Shkreli - who famously increased the cost of AIDs drugs by 5,000 per cent - had recently posted on Twitter a letter sent to the rapper offering him $10 million to release The Life of Pablo, solely to him.[/quote][quote]
Unsurprisingly West ignored the 'pharma bro's' offer and released his new album last night after his Saturday Night Live appearance.
But within minutes of Kanye's album being released - Shkreli appears to have gone into full Twitter meltdown - revealing that he believed he had bought The Life of Pablo for 37,000 bitcoins worth $15 million.[/quote][quote]He claimed to have signed a deal to buy the album with a man named Daquan, who said he 'rolled' with Kanye, and had transferred the cash.
In a series of panicked tweets after the album release, he demanded to know: 'Who the f*** has my fifteen million dollars??
'I need my money back this isn't a f***ing joke WTF.[/quote]
Thank you, Daquan, for making my Valentine's Day complete.

This... I like this. /:)

Yes! **** yes. Ghostface must be laughing his ass off.

So you might know a little more than me about him and his price hiking. Is he really doing anything wrong? He's "punishing" the big pharma and huge corporations, and if someone needs the drug and the can't afford he says all they have to do is contact him and he gives it to them for free
-
God, I wish that were true.
-
Daquan is str8 rippin
-
I would be that bored too if I was as rich as him.
-
A man doesn't go from nothing to being worth over 50 million in seven years by being an idiot. This is clearly a gag he's pulling.

I suppose I should be somewhat happy for my own humanity that I can't simply be excited over this. I knew he was an asshole with the Turing thing and that he was the guy who bought that Wu Tang album, but reading the shit in that article is just ridiculous. More than anything, this just comes off as an irresponsible spoiled brat who wasn't raised right and was hot shit until the walls started crashing down at which point he fell apart completely. Bastard deserves everything he gets for what he did with Daraprim, but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Especially considering if that money was really stolen it's now most likely in the hands of some scammer rather than the people themselves.
