I have been following Skreli for a long time. I know evil is tossed around about his name. I think he is a little bit sociopathic, but I see him more of a trickster that show how extremely hypocritical the debate in US about pharmacy has become. He is ridiculed by everyone. There are many other pharmaceutical companies that have raised the prized similarly, but of course Skreli is the scapegoat. He like to provoke people no doubt. His play against Wu Tang Clan...
I had an opportunity about 18 months ago to talk to Martin one on one on a now dead platform called Blab. I have MS, and as soon as he heard that all pretense of "douchebag" fell away and he gave me almost 30 minutes of his time asking me questions and teaching me about the ins and outs of "Big Pharma" and research. He was really sincere and honest, I came away from that interaction with a very positive impression of Martin. Great post!
I think there are a lot of people who are much worse and do worse things but hide in the shadows. Thanks @scandinavianlife. Shkreli is just working within the system but is candid about it.
I think so too. He strikes me more as a hardcore realist, almost autisticly so :) I don't think he tries to be neither good nor bad, just having his own standards which are probably very hard for most people to accept.
I can't say that I know much about him, at least in terms of factual information as opposed to what the media says. The few times I've actually seen him talk, he made sense.
I think you're right in your assessment that he's a convenient scapegoat.
Even Steemit has its share of "evil geniuses".
I'll at least respect him for his unabashed honesty.
Interesting to read this post and the comments below. I've always considered him to be an arrogant asshole who likes to fuck with other peoples money and lives.
You post has given me something to think about, I'll certainly be approaching any stories about him now with a bit more of an open mind. Thanks.

I agree that some of his behaviour seems sociopathic..but I believe he is trolling. I could be wrong of course :)

Wow. I'm so glad you read my post and confirmed it! :D That's amazing. Hope you're doing better.
I still remember his tinder talks :D :D
He's funny as hell, and simply the best troll/genius ever :)

What he is trying to prove? Want to become internet celebrity through negativity?
Shkreli you mean? I don't think so no?
Yeah, I feel like I'm constantly trying to make these points to people that just want to have kneejerk reactions.
