Dramatic Footage Of Reporters Mugging Martin Shkreli At Brooklyn Courthouse

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The last time the frenzied media was mugging an alleged financial criminal with utter abandon took place 7 years ago, when days after the Lehman collapse, respected "fund manager" Bernie Madoff was found to be nothing but a $60 billion Ponzi scheme.

 

And while we don't know if the emergence of the latest "financial criminal of a generation", America's most hated man Martin Shkreli, who earlier today was arrested and is facaing both civil and criminal charges and up to 20 yeasr in prison, is indicative of another Lehman-like even, what we do know is that a scene such as the one which unfolded in front of a Brooklyn courthouse, where dozens of reporters mugged the diminutive and scandalous figure after he posted a $5 million bond to be released back into society, is something that has not happened since Bernie Madoff's time.

Also earlier the FBI took an opportunity to explain that since there was no seizure warrant at Shkreli's arrest, the infamous Wu-Tang clan album still remains in Shkreli's possession.

Ironically, while it took just months for the full wrath of the US government to crack down on Shkreli, Madoff, whose $60 billion ponzi scheme, somehow operated for three decades and had to blow up on its own before the authorities got involved. Odd how that happens.

But who cares about Madoff: when talking about financial criminals of unmatched skill and the highest calibre, there really can be only one.

The one seen with Hillary Clinton in the photo below...

 

... The same Hillary Clinton who, incidentally, sealed Shkreli's fate:

Whatever happened to the Godly inspired Goldman Sachs who KNOWINGLY sold toxic Paulson credit paper to Merrill Lynch & then shorted its stocks in the great  Multi-Trillion Credit Debackle of '07? Are those dudes still in jail?

Funny how Boston decided to forgo the Olympics (due to costs) and now are having issues with Casino's as the industry is not doing so well... The Mayor of Boston is depending on international customers to keep the nightmare alive. If you want to piss it away than go for for it, but the people are tired (and too broke) of subsidizing these scams. 

 

As far as the little puke goes pulling this horseshit, (and that goes for anyone who approved useless drug trials ala fraud i.e. global warming)... It will be remembered and that goes for a shitload of lawyers/lobbyists and those who are allowed to insider trade. History will remember you for whom you are and what you did.

It's a generic drug.  I could apply to the FDA to manufacture my own right now.  Anybody could.  and the FDA will be getting back to you about that approval by maybe . . .2020.

Shkreli bought a monopoly product.  He has the supply, and the market has the demand.  What am I missing here?

Oh, I see . . . 1) he looks and talks like a ferret, and 2) he raised the price 5000%.  So, if he would have kept his mouth shut and raised the price only 2000%, then Corzine, Madoff and Ponzi would never have entered into the discussion?

First of all I am not a racist. Some of my best friends are black or hispanic and I love them dearly.

But know this. In 2014 (60) white children were born to every (1000) white women. More than twice that number were born to blacks, and brown women.

Using that formular, your town will be between 70-80% black or brown in the next two hundred years.

Again! I am not a racist. But the white race needs to make babies rather than our women being fighter pilots and executives or we will be gone from the world.

P.S. There are only 1 billion whites on a planet of over 7 billion.

This means, in 200 years THIS will be gone.

Shkreli was flippant, distant, and maybe legit sociopathic, but, put in perspective, is just a small fish amongst a sea of far worse crimes. he seemed to me to be more like a particularly vain case of nerd revenge. at least at this stage...

...meanwhile the endless war on terror and the war to disinform america continues, unabated and mostly unnoticed...

To understand conspiracy, you have to compare and contrast:

 

Martin Shkreli

"He is accused of repeatedly losing money for investors and lying to them about it, illegally taking assets from one of his companies to pay off debtors in another." Bloomberg

Cost of fraud = $65Million Retrophin lawsuit

Result = arrested and freed on a $5 million bond

Jon Corzine

"Corzine was appointed CEO and Chairman of MF Global, a multinational futures broker and bond dealer, in March 2010. Shortly afterwards, federal regulators began an investigation into hundreds of millions of dollars in missing customer funds. It was reported that Corzine declined a severance package worth $12.1 million." Wiki

Cost of fraud = $1.6Billion dollars of missing money

Result = CFTC filed civil charges against corzine, stating "Corzine is charged with one count of failure to segregate and misuse of customer funds and one count of failure to supervise diligently".

----------------------------

So Corzine's fraud was x20 larger than Shrek's and they offered him a golden hand-shake of $12Million and the only justice is a court ruling calling for 100 percent repayment to customers of the bankrupt brokerage...which he's appealing whilst basking in the Cayman islands like the slimy lizard he is.

Same in the UK when MP's were caught red-handed with their expenses; few were selected as patsies and were given custodial sentences to appease the unwashed mud-bloods,...however, this was only in category D prisons where you get home leave and it's an open prison/holiday camp.

They're so overtly corrupt, it makes you sick. Shrek was too arrogant with his fraud and even when he owed $7Million to Merrill Lynch, he paid only $1.35Million in a settlement, so he was still being groomed into the cess-pool of corporate fraud. I suspect the pill price hike was a step too far and he had to be shut down.

Loose lips sink ships, especially when they are listing well beyong their plimsoll line; drown you bunch of cunts.

Clinton - Gramm - Greenspan - Levitt - Rubin - Summers: Though they will never admit it, these are the men who thought they knew better than Brooksley Born what was the right trajectory for the field of banking/finance. The Derivatives debacle has yet to come home to roost but when it does there won't be enough Mandrake the Magician dollars to bail out anyone or anything. We're in serious trouble here in the US with this unsound and dishonest money. Most people don't want to know anything about how we get our "Phony Notes from the gang Miss Crabtree money." When we solve the rather large problem of unsound and dishonest money, we'll get back some prosperity, a word not used too often anymore.
