Shkreli’s Hounding Is Part of Troublesome, Structural Issue

(Before It's News)

Martin Shkreli, “America’s Most Hated “… The “most hated man in America” just got arrested for securities fraud. Shkreli, the baby faced, former Jim Cramer protege and serial biotech mogul who famously raised the price of a toxoplasmosis drug by 5000% in September, igniting a media and political firestorm in the process, is accused of using Retrophin (a company he founded and ran until he was ousted by the board) as a kind of slush fund. – ZeroHedge

Dominant Social Theme: Shkreli is a horror. Capitalism, too.

Free-Market Analysis: This ZeroHedge article reports the facts and is competent so far as it goes. But an article by libertarian publisher Simon Black provides us with a deeper perspective. More on Black and his article in a moment.
