Neither apparently does the attorney general of New York or the Feds and they have him under investigation for past actions. He really has less value than pond scum. Based on remarks about him from the biotech companies it sounds like many of them would like to donate his body to science with death not being a prerequisite – but a goal.

Shkreli is King Joffery from Game of Thrones. Immature, wantonly cruel, overprivileged, with a keen sense of self-entitlement, and a monster. Whoa. That writer really doesn't like Shkreli!

I get the feeling that he just discovered that there are governments that have a good deal more leeway in dealing with price gouging than the US. He wants to get back the purchase price with 100,000 pills.

If the “invisible hand” slapped him up the side of his head a few times, he might refocus on reality. I assume that he may have received calls from some insurance companies and major retailers about his pricing policy.

Did you see the interview with this greasy-haired smirking sociopath? He was asked if he would reduce the price (i.e. provide charity) for patients who couldn't afford the full price. He smirked and said, simply, "No." Now he's hoping everybody forgets about him so he doesn't have to keep this new promise. You'll note he made this promise by press release, not in person. If he'd made it in person, he would have had a hard time keeping himself from smirking.
