Both are insufferable, but Martin has caused so much damage that he's on another level.
where are you even encountering her that it's this much of a problem.
No, but I hate him a lot more for the AIDS drug thing than the securities fraud. After all, if he hadn't committed the fraud they might not have anything to toss him in jail for =)

She's his mum.
Not in jail that's for sure.

My question is how do people like him reach such status in life, unless born into it?

Kathy Griffin had a good reason and a good message for her stunt. Any thinking person knows it was not a threat of violence. Shkreli is a chaotic evil troll who, in a bizarre twist of fate, acquired enough real life power and influence to profit massively off of other people's suffering.
The two are in no way comparable. It's blindingly obvious that Griffin is a brash and divisive comedian with a harmless (if arguably obnoxious) schtick while Shkreli is a professional asshole and genuinely awful human being.

I think Donald is different. He's a 70 year old man who yes trolls on twitter, but legitimately turned a 1 million dollar loan into a multi-billion dollar business. I think he got rich based on ether legit or semi legit factors. And his father was already a multi-millionaire when Trump was getting into business.
My question essentially was, how do phamacuetical executives go on to become multi-millionaires?
Trump started with training wheels, and always had people to catch him along the way each of the many times he fell.

Hes infinitely worse than Kathy Griffin could ever be. In addition to being the worlds biggest douchebag, he has also caused material harm to peoples life.
If you're sociopathic enough to massively raise the price of lifesaving meds, its not like you're going to change your behavior and stop pissing people off.
"I'm gonna sketch this smug motherfuckers smug motherfucking face."
They say that Businessmen and Serial Killers have the same personality traits. I guess we should be thankful he's a douche online instead of skinning women into a new suit.

I would probably forgive some of his scuminess if he did.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
That Seinfeld episode from 1996.

Don't get your hopes up. The offences he's been convicted of are on the low end of the range because his investors still made a massive profit. I wouldn't be surprised if, come December, he got off with twelve months less time served and only spent a few weeks in a cosy white collar prison. The scumbag.
Court drawings are one of life's simple little pleasures.
The issue has already come up during jury selection.
