i am hearing this name for the first time, loosing that much coin is a shit affair. doing a google search only reveals everyone's hatred towards him . dont know the reason yet. but if he really lost 37K bitcoin, its not that cool.

Well you're the devil so I thought you'd know of him, at least as of an associate or something. That's surprising now. I guess Shkreli still has more villain work to do in order to be put in the devil's eyes. Never enough, hey. You can always improve.
Having said that, trust me about two things: 1) he didn't lose these coins, this is just him trolling there, and 2) it would be great if someone could fuck him for once.

quote from wikipedia

In accordance with Shkreli's business plan, Turing acquired Daraprim (pyrimethamine) – an FDA-approved therapeutic since 1953 – for US$55 million on August 10, 2015, from Impax Laboratories. The drug's most prominent use as of late 2015 was as an anti-malarial and an antiparasitic, in conjunction with leucovorin and a sulfonamide, to treat patients with toxoplasmosis, including in AIDS populations. The patent for Daraprim expired in 1953, and no generic version was available. The Turing–Impax deal included the condition that Impax remove the drug from regular wholesalers and pharmacies, and so in June 2015, two months before the sale to Turing was announced, Impax switched to tightly controlled distribution. In keeping with its strategy for pricing in the face of limited competition (see above), Turing maintained the closed distribution.

On September 17, 2015, Dave Muoio of Healio, an in-depth clinical information website for health care specialists, reported on a letter from the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the HIV Medicine Association to executives at Turing, questioning a new pricing for Daraprim. The price of a dose of the drug in the U.S. market increased from US$13.50 to US$750 per pill, overnight, a 5,556 percent increase.

what the fuck? it's only right that the whole world should hate this guy.

[croato]

I dont trust single word that weasel says. I hope he really have lost those coins but thin chance for that. Weasels like him dont lose money just like that.

[FlyingSaucer]

who is this guy?

The dude is 'famous' for buying the rights to an obscure but important drug and jacking the price up from about $15 to $700 or so per dose. He's also been arrested for securities fraud or something recently. Looks like he enjoys attention so I'm gonna stop writing about him.

Yeah I found about about him while reading Reddit about that notorious drug price abuse and I think he is a really obnoxious person.

[Wapinter]

top acting.. pretends to be pennyless so if convicted the fine will be smaller..

I doubt authorities will take his word they would ask for proof to buy such a huge number of bitcoin.His bank transactions can make it clear

[LFC_Bitcoin]

top acting.. pretends to be pennyless so if convicted the fine will be smaller..

Exactly this ^^

It's like when dodgy rich people declare business bankruptcy rather than personal bankruptcy to avoid the tax man.

Like 'oh shit that business that owed millions in tax is now insolvent, my bad'.

[BellaBitBit]

Wonder how that GoFundMe campaign will work out. LOL

[crazywack]

Oh lord how I detest this man.  Aside from anything to do with bitcoin, it eats at me that someone can put the screws to people who need an old, long-generic drug like he did and profit from it.  I will eat up with delight any story about him getting anally probed with dull objects in prison and/or losing his ill-gotten fortune.  I get a foul taste in my mouth when I see him smirking. 

So that's that.  If he lost this amount of bitcoin, I'm cool with that.

Seeing as Obama care Mandates that not any person can be denied coverage, and that the insurance company picks up most the cost on the drugs. He is sticking it to the man... Are you listening to mainstream media when you make your comments? The cost goes to the insurers...

I don't condone his searching for young girls, and being stupid with his money. I.e. Buying a record nobody will ever hear.  But that's the luxury of F ME MONEY.

[SFR10]

I hope he really lost that amount of money because he really deserve it for doing so many bad things. Clearly there's lack of humanity on this guy and after watching half of the video, I could say, he seem to have some real mental issues and on a side note, the acting is horrible.

Do you seriously believe this troll? Nobody should believe such claims without proof (e.g. TX IDs). You can find his interactions with "Satoshi Nakamoto" on twitter.

[southafricadude]

Dont believe this for a second. The dude is an attention seeker....I wonder what the BTC price would do if someone tried to dump 15mil worth of coins to make a quick getaway...

Sticking it to the man'? So you think the insurance companies have to swallow the cost?

If the cost of medicines go up then insurance companies simply jack up the premiums they charge. They don't lose out, American citizens do.

US Hospitals charge significantly more for treatment compared to similar quality care in other countries, why? Because they can. The American public have been conditioned to believe that the co-pay amount they have to cover themselves is acceptable because the remaining extortionate cost is covered by the insurance company. The simple fact is that the amount of co-pay due is frequently found to be similar to that of the entire cost of the same procedure in other modern countries.

US Hospitals are making a fortune, US Health Insurance companies are making a fortune, US Pharmaceutical companies are making a fortune.

Where do you think the money comes from? It isn't from swallowing costs on behalf of the consumer, that's for sure.

So Satoshi Nakamoto will help to get the coins back. So that problem can be solved if it's really true that the coins were stolen.

Nobody should believe such claims without proof (e.g. TX IDs).

Nobody should believe such claims even WITH such a poor quality proof as TX IDs.

Even if there are TX ID's published there is nothing to prove either way whether the coins just went into cold storage or whether they were lost to somebody. Cryptsy probably sent their coins to a storage which they could conveniently decide at some later date whether to call it cold storage or lost to scammers whatever feels better at some later date. And it turned out they decided to call it losing the money to scammers.

In shkreli's case the TX ID's might be better to pretend as being lost for now but at some later date claim it was just cold storage all along.
Publishing TXID's only prove that the money has at some time existed in some form but in shkreli's case nobody really doubts that part of the story in a way that matters.

You should read the thread before you post.
1. Satoshi is gone.
2. The likelihood of the person behind that twitter being the real Satoshi is near 0.
3. Satoshi can't really help him much more than an experienced user could.

Nobody should believe such claims even WITH such a poor quality proof as TX IDs.
Publishing TXID's only prove that the money has at some time existed in some form but in shkreli's case nobody really doubts that part of the story in a way that matters.

I never said that it was sufficient evidence; TX IDs would be where we'd start from.

Satoshi Nakamoto don't help him because he asked help to Sitoshi

Good catch. I've automatically read that as Satoshi.

All the world hate him, the way he smirks, ugh I just wanna punch him in the face. Besides, you can get that drug abroad for a about a dollar as a generic.

[ShrykeZ]

Inb4 he loses another shed load of Bitcoin to "Sitoshi" as he believes he is the creator of Bitcoin and he has been talking with him.... this guy hahhaha

[pereira4]

This seems like yet another troll act (this guy is just a walking troll act it seems to be honest).

""My parents are going to kill me, my mom warned me about dealing with these kinds of people.  I lost $45 million the day I got arrested... I make about $15 million a month. How am I going to pay Drake now?"

And what about Sitoshi? This has to be a joke, just more antics to get more money, that's all.

[Kprawn]

Do you seriously believe this troll? Nobody should believe such claims without proof (e.g. TX IDs). You can find his interactions with "Satoshi Nakamoto" on twitter.

Agreed, but would TX IDs be enough proof or just proof that money went from one address to another. He could just shift this money to a friend or to

a address he owns, and it would mean nothing. I think he is just making this statement to get attention. When you have done the things he has done,

you show you have zero integrity. Do not listen to a fool, they might fool you.
