Just because he's pointing out a flawed system doesn't mean he isn't exploiting it and personally profiting off of it as well.


We can sit around and whine about some guy exploiting a broken system, but that's not going to fix the problem. Everyone's focusing on one guy who exploited the system, while ignoring both tons of other people who exploited it just as much (and probably a lot more, as he pointed out on his website), as well as the brokenness of the system itself.


That's true, they should all be treated with the same amount of contempt. I think making this website is one of the few good things he's done in a while.

Shkreli is somewhat unique in terms of how much of an attention hog and braggart he is, though. Plus his stock fraud and general asshole persona.
