Teaching how to invest? I don't recall a single time his investments or trades actually ever turned a profit. A career snake oil salesman is probably the best description I can come up with. What really puzzles me is how many on this site would actually change sides with him if given the choice. Which tells me that the US immigrated many wrong people who should have never been granted refuge in the United States for moral and ethical incompatibility reasons. Most of those individuals curiously hail from Eastern Europe.
Shkreli at court
- Thread starter Pekelo
- Start date
Da fuck you talkin' about?
"Shkreli was born in Coney Island Hospital, Brooklyn."
He is as American as running a Ponzi. So are Madoff and Stanford. Even if you want to count the current best Ponzi runner, Elon is from South Africa...
Just watch CNBC's Greed, most and best of the fraudsters are homegrown Americans. So keep your moral horse in the barn, will you?
Not talking about Shkreli but some of the fine gents on this forum who seem to embrace whoever is or pretends to be wealthy regardless of how such wealth was created. I remember that there was a lot of pushback on the first couple pages and defending of Shkreli. And that puzzles me.
BTW the correct sentence should run: Just watch CNBC's Greed, most and best of the fraudsters are homegrown American Jews.

sieg heil dumb ass
Dumb and nazi and Antisemite because someone used the term Jew? Care to explain? Look at all crimes in high finance in the past two decades and you identify at least 50% of all of them who committed such crimes and law violations as being Jews. 1.8% of the American population is Jewish and less than 10% of all Ibank employees on wall street are Jews. Those statistics don't bother you? And this is only in finance. In non financial corporates the stats are even more troublesome.
Jews are professional diamonds, so to speak -- and alot of people in general resent those who possess power and success,
(or basically money)The average man should look in the mirror for someone to hate/blame...for their average situation,
There's nothing Supernatural or spiritual or sci-fi or divine about it -- it's just the way Jews are brought up and their culture. Anyone can replicate them, more or less.
Study their bible, and rules and laws... and just general way of life,
And besides, not to sound cliche or anything...But judge someone on their content of character, not their skin tone or ethnicity or religion,

Well you are just evading the question. Many people in trading and hedge fund positions on Wall Street are smart, hard working. Why does one ethnic group stands out so starkly regarding white collar crime statistics?
And I am exactly doing what you are postulating, I judge someone based on his character and ethical and moral values. It is just very curious why one group among other rich and successful stands out when looking at those who commit white collar crimes. And you are absolutely not alarmed when someone who points this out is ripped apart like in a tank of barracudas?

OK, kiddos, since this is my thread, we can stop the race and ethnic bashing since they are off topic. Thanks for the consideration...

In the main time, more witnesses testifying:

"A deep-pocketed investor told jurors Monday that Martin Shkreli reminded him of “Rain Man” in his first meeting with the self-described “genius.”
“If your main question is, ‘Does Martin remind me of Dustin Hoffman’s character in Rain Man?’ I would have to say, yes,” Marshall conceded begrudgingly as he testified in Shkreli’s securities fraud trial.
”I did not in the meeting conclude that Martin Shkreli was autistic, or anything like that,” added Marshall, who invested $200,000 in Shkreli’s former hedge fund, MSMB Capitol. ”What I thought was that this was someone who focused on one small segment of the stock market and just lived it, and that was his investment advantage.”
“I would say he impressed me as being smart and highly focused,”"

So the moral/legal question is this:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...harma-bro-misled-and-stalled-them/465025001/#
"Monday's proceedings underscored a legal question underlying the trial: Could Shkreli be convicted on conspiracy and securities fraud charges if his investors weren't financial victims but instead made money?
Shkreli stalled redemption efforts well into 2013, Kocher testified in response to prosecution questioning. Shkreli offered repayment through Retrophin stock that could not immediately be sold or traded, a move Kocher likened to "an insult."
Kocher said he felt betrayed because he had contributed $100,000 "on a day's notice" to help Shkreli's funds survive a financial squeeze.
Subsequently, Kocher faced a tough spot of his own. He needed his money back to finalize a planned real estate purchase in New Jersey, the businessman testified.He gave Shkreli repeated reminders about that episode, threatened legal action, and accused Shkreli of having a conflict of interest by running the hedge funds and Retrophin simultaneously."
Although he eventually made money:
""I spent five months just trying to get a settlement, and then five months trying to sell the stock," responded Kocher, "
