Looks like he was found guilty of fraud and may face up to 20 years in prison: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/business/dealbook/martin-shkreli-guilty.html
Rabble rabble rabble.
Sure he may have broken a few "laws" but is that any reason to take away a man's freedom?
Lol, 20 years in prison. Try 20 months.

:hmm:
If Slavs are white, who's next? The Irish?
Being white (or not) is pretty damn easy. Look at someone's skin tone. Slavs (and the Irish) are thus very clearly white.
And who is not white? Spaniards, Italians and Greeks, for starters. -_-
I wonder how he got into the business. He wasn't born rich. Looked like he got an internship or something with an investment bank because he lived in New York, and made some accurate stock movement predictions.
He's one of those people who go all-in every hand. If you have an incredible run of luck, you can get very rich for a while, but unfortunately the very quality that makes you get that rich makes you incapable of cashing in your gains in time.

Perhaps you are talking Eastern vs. Western.

I think he is talking "white" as a political construct (specifically in the Anglo tradition) in which Slavs were only dubiously white until recently and the Irish weren't.

Nah, they are very different from real whites. Plus, it isn't just the skin tone. Hair colour, eye colour, shape of the nose, mannerisms, etc etc. It is very easy to tell they are not whites.
Mannerisms? I'm pretty sure those are learned and not genetic.

For once I agree with Mono! :o :P
I think that most people understand that what everyone regards as "race" as an ad hoc clustering of people based on their ancestry. It's not more and not less.
Nice pivot, people. While you're jerking each other off over Race, off into the sunset run Class and Wealth, ignored and absolved.

So a little hair dye, cosmetic surgery and some mannerisms instruction, and they become whites?
You could then only tell them from whites by their use of the u in words like "colour."

QuoteJuror No. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because —
The Court: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty?
Juror No. 59: It's my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.
The Court: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.
Juror No. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.
From my experience, there are always a couple of people who try extra hard to get excused. I don't get it, it seems like you're humiliating yourself and taking your chances on the judge not being in a foul mood.
I have never been called to jury duty. :(

It's not that hard to get excused if you want to. There is no reason to clown around or be so obvious at it that others watching you just groan and roll their eyes.

Sure, if there are easy ways to get excused, then those should be adopted. But if it is a choice between (a) looking like a fool to get excused and (b) not being excused, then (a) should take priority.

In this instance it seems he was so infamous that people legitimately hated him. Also, he's smug jackass with a face as punchable as King Joffrey.

Eat shit.
I told them I was an ex-cop and an ex-bail bondsman, so I considered myself unable to be impartial in a criminal case.
So they sent me to a traffic case.
