A House Rep from Utah who is known for being a bit of a political hack. He lead some extensive House investigations of both Obama and Clinton(including doing a lot of Benghazi truthing), but declined to do any investigations of Trump. He was also an early GOP leader to rescind his endorsement of Trump, which he promptly went back on. Hes doing some other shitty stuff like go after Planned Parenthood using dishonest data from an anti-abortion group and he represents a lot of the worst of the worst of mainstream GOP policy by denying climate change, being against net neutrality, etc etc. Oh, and hes an antivaxxer.
So him going after a "business leader" of any sort is a bit unexpected. He must have sensed blood in the water or something.
I wonder what he could have been if he hadn't taken the pandering path.
He's clearly intelligent. He was thoroughly prepared and he didn't lay off of his argument for one second. He laid so much righteous fury on that lady that anybody who didn't know him would have called him a fucking hero, working to pull the masses from the mire that is the healthcare industry.
He lead some extensive House investigations of both Obama and Clinton
Just to pile on, he held 33 investigations that found nothing except that the middle east is violent and that his party gutted embassy security. He's a joke.
Jeez, that was savage. Makes you think maybe Republicans actually do care about the expense of health care and aren't just engaging in the usual partisan bullshit.
This is like running a Ponzi scheme where you invest in lottery tickets, failing, creating another Ponzi scheme to invest in lottery tickets, failing, buying a scratchy ticket with your last dollar and winning back enough money to pay everyone out.
But that's what I love about fraud. If you call a credit card company, give them fake pay stubs, fake bank statements, lie about your employer, and get a credit card that you wouldn't have been able to, would that be fraud? The answer is no. You can't commit fraud unless the person you made misleading statements to lost something. If you faithfully make payments to the credit card company, there is no fraud.
Shkreli is just ugly, snide, and unethical.

The prosecution is effectively saying that the injury was that the victims had to look at Shkreli's ugly ass face LMAO

He'll probably have to use the money he was going to buy another eSports team to get himself out of this one. Maybe sacrifice a coupla months of WoW subscriptions too.

Is he a mod here? I know he's a redditor. Just saying, he's showing some potential.
n/a im-a-koala 2017-07-01
He declined to become a mod, unfortunately.
n/a scatmunchies 2017-07-01
And we didn't have an honor killing to settle matters? Wtf mods.
n/a LeFabulousFaggot 2017-07-01
What a shame
n/a Hellkyte 2017-07-01
I honestly had to check to make sure he wasn't a mod. Not that I won't talk shit on mods. Everyone knows /u/comedicsans is neither comedic nor sans.
n/a ComedicSans 2017-07-01
What does "sans" mean, you goddamned illiterate?
n/a Hellkyte 2017-07-01
It means without, as in you are without courtesy.

We tried to add him but he wouldn't accept.
n/a IAintThatGuy 2017-07-01
I don't think even /u/xNotch is retarded enough to invest with that guy. Or even give him his real phone number and shit.
n/a PM_ME_HAIRLESS_CATS 2017-07-01
Dude needs to be a mod here. He can get back at Daquan
n/a ComedicSans 2017-07-01

This is my favorite part of that thread. Owned by no less than Jason fucking Chaffetz.

Who is that guy, and is he famous for something (which you seem to imply)?

It is still fraudulent as shit.

Umm, yes.
n/a makes_people_cringe 2017-07-01
He defaulted on those loans.
n/a ComedicSans 2017-07-01
Lying to a money-lender about security for a loan is deriving a benefit under false pretenses. If only there were a word for that...
n/a makes_people_cringe 2017-07-01
And if the money-lender still makes the interest and the loan is satisfied, it doesn't matter if the benfit was derived under false pretenses.
n/a ComedicSans 2017-07-01
Bollocks.
