Martin Shkreli is a 32-year-old former hedge fund manager who simply has too much money and too much ego. He is an opportunistic millennial who has no heart and may simply be a sociopath.
For anyone who cannot remember, Shkreli is the former chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals, which sold a little known 62 year old drug called Daraprim. The drug was a life-saving medication for AIDS patients and others with a rare, compromised immune system disease, and prior to Shkreli taking the helm of Turing, the drug sold for $13.50 per tablet. He promptly raised the price to $750 per tablet, and challenged anyone to block his decision.
While there are certainly limits to how much government should be able to dictate private business practice, Shkreli exhibited some very compromised business ethics and quickly became a pariah in the business and health care community.
He smirked his way through it all.
Fortunately, he has now had his comeuppance and is on trial for other securities violations, though his outrageous price gouging is also playing a role in a government investigation where he is being questioned by various congressmen on the pricing scheme.
He is widely derided for his arrogance and smirking during the trial, clearly exhibited in the videos available on page 2.

Beat him & throw him in the pokey!!!
Someone needs to start a little “Secret club” to make sure this little worthless$#%&!@*if taken care of no matter what.
If he died tomorrow, what would happen to his drug? Just curious.
Same look as Hillary and hearing didn’t accomplish anything. Waste of money if no results for justice come out of it. He said himself he raised the cost of life saving med. That alone should be illegal!!
Bonehead!!
Slap him in prison , also slap that smirk of his face
Somebody punch him in the face !! Please !!
Free college, tax the other guy, give me my drugs for the condition I could have avoided and if you don’t you’re a jerk….
This crud is the future of America ? He has a liberal smirk !
