NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 17:  Martin Shkreli (C), CEO of Turing Pharmaceutical, is brought out of 26 Federal Plaza by law enforcement officials after being arrested for securities fraud on December 17, 2015 in New York City. Shkreli gained notoriety earlie

Martin Shkreli, the poster boy for greed who seems to be careening toward Bond villain status, has entered a not guilty plea in the federal case against him:
Now, prosecutors say Martin Shkreli is a fraudster. He pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he looted Retrophin, a pharmaceutical company he founded, of $11 million to pay back disgruntled hedge fund clients.
It was a case he seemed almost to dare the government to bring.
"Politicians love to beat up on guys that are seen to be public enemies, if you will," he said at a Forbes health care conference Dec. 3. 
Be careful what you wish for, Martin!
well we see that the audacity of arrogance is not as strong as it once was.  IMO this is POETIC JUSTICE at it's best and none so deserving actually there are plenty deserving but let's just go with this guy.  putting a price on life is an American staple regardless to how humane we profess to be there is no free lunch the piper gets paid somewhere a long the line.

what this guy did with a smile on his face was reprehensible and had it not been what it was but some other thing i do believe republicans would have cheered and supported his greed as prime capitalism, because Aids effects them too.  this should be a heads up moment too big pharma does not like the negative press that and public noise did more to oust the rat than anything else.  we have power we just need to understand how powerful we the people really are.  evidence; 2008 & 2012 Black Pres. elected over White power structure.
