He's doing that now?

Oh man. I really hope he regrets that five years from now.

But they're also the type of people to screw someone over in their hour of need, so maybe not?

Especially for securities fraud. I bet there was at least one juror in the back who never heard of him and was like: "Oh! I just have to say I hate this guy and I can go home!"

I believe the Eric Trump fans refer to themselves as the Vorta.

You know how there's always a small group of people who are infatuated and attracted to mass murderers? Has there been any documented group of Shkreli fanatics?

He's going to outlive us all.

Glad to be an ex-journalist. Because cops are heroes and journalists are fake news who hate America. Duh.

We'll need the help of an Economist.

That has always confused the shit out of me. So to the extent they do any actual original reporting rather than making shit up, it's based on random sources who are either incredibly ill connected and misinformed or just making shit up themselves and they don't care. But for that particular story they decided to do

Fair enough. It's hard to say what adults should read, though. Because some authors that write for adults, like Dan Brown, are a lot less sophisticated than J.K. Rowling. I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but if you're essentially saying that it would be nice if more people got a little obsessive over some
