Title: [2016-02-15]Pharma bro Martin Shkreli lied about Bitcoin, so someone spent......
Post by: Sturgeon on February 16, 2016, 02:06:30 AM
If karma is a real thing, Martin Shkreli just made a lump sum payment on his sins in the form of water-based sexual lubricant.

The chain of events started with a claim that Shkreli had purchased the exclusive rights Kanye West’s new album, “The Life of Pablo” for $15 million. In and of itself, this is believable, after all he had previously purchased exclusive rights to a previously unreleased Wu Tang Clan album, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.”

We’ll let Shkrelli’s sweary tweets tell you how it all went down.

Man, this guy's a fucking moron.  He doesn't even know how to spell Satoshi's name right yet he claims to have been 'in contact' with him and will somehow get his money back.  Sending 15 million without even going to meet with the damn guy to make sure everything's legit..

Karma's a bitch, and I love it.  However, I have to wonder with someone having as much cash as him if he has an ulterior motive to trying to give BTC a bad rep...  maybe he's invested in it going down and trying to make a shitshow while he's still in the news.

This guy made Cancer treatment more expensive and people are duying out there because they cannot afford the medicine. Why would anyone believe anything he says? Since this tweet, he has given no evidence to prove his statement.

He is just trolling and making more enemies. Attention Whore! My bet, he knows nothing about Bitcoin or about Satoshi and even if he did know him, those tx's will never be reversed, if it even existed.

Really strange though: First, he is seen all over TV for several days, then he suddenly uses the brief fame to teach people lies about Bitcoin.

This dude is full of shit. I have seen him being "interviewed" by a VICE "journalist" recently. He tries to make himself look like a hero and the poor female "journalist" seems to fall for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PCb9mnrU1g

The internet giveth, and it taketh away. Moments after Shkreli’s Twitter rant, he hosted a live chat (now with 300 percent more bad acting) that kept the party going. In the video chat, Shkreli left a credit card exposed; it didn’t go unnoticed.

A 4chan user took notice and did what 4chan does, delivered swift justice. In this case, the justice was in the form of a special delivery to Shkreli’s home address.

The delivery? 55-gallons of water-based lubricant for a cool $1,100.

Seems like he can just report it as credit card fraud, so if anything he probably got a boat load of lube for free.

He will need that lube when a huge load of Karma finally nails his ass.   :o
