But really, someone should lay the smack on barely functional brain dead "Captains of Industry" who have gone full throttle idiot and don't understand that if people can't afford to buy your product then you won't make any money.

I kinda think his plan was actually to just acquire it, drive up the price to make stockholders think he's cornered the market on a valuable commodity and then blackmail other companies who want to do the right thing by selling the drug to them at way more than what his company paid to acquire it.

I don't think his plan involved people actually paying that much for the drug. Because if he did... then yeah that's retarded.

poo poo like what Shkreli is doing and what Jordan Belfort did is basically legal theft. They are stealing and blackmailing and extorting money from people, and doing it knowingly, and only getting away with it because it's totally legal to do until the laws change to prevent it. They're today's high profile bank robbers, and they're just as scummy now and horrible people still idolize them and want to be them.

Although Belfort's scheme was kind of morally grey. Jacking up the price on a life-saving drug is a bit more transparently evil.
