Not yet. He posted bail (5 million), and is sure to lawyer up big time.

My vote? He walks.

Good, I needed a new guy to hate after everyone forgot about that one dentist.

Is this about that Koney dude? Oh, it's not? Of course, cause nobody cares about child soldiers any more than they care about whatever the hell this guy did. So can we stop pretending otherwise with self-righteous threads?

The Kony thing was more it was found out that the group everyone was donating to was a scam lol. It's not like anything is going to happen to this guy if he's convicted or not. Maybe he'll get a "huge" fine by the standards of a normal person that he can shrug off, maybe he'll spend a few months in a nice white collar prison. Then he'll be right back to making millions and doing coke off strippers on a yacht.

Wasn't Kony a slacktivism thing where the owner went nutty and had a shouty wank in public? I missed the scam bit if there was one.

Exactly. The money they donated was like... completely pointless, but people were given the impression that it was being used for something. It was being used to get the founder dude high and whatnot. I consider it a scam. A damn good scam.

I see it more like naive youngins trying to oversimplify a complex issue and a dude unable to cope with the negative attention that came in swarms alongside the positive attention.

I'm upset. **** this CEO guy. Grr. Please believe that I'm better than him please please please please

Nameless 12-23-2015 11:45 PM

I really believe most people are better than him.

Too bad, at least he's been fired from his position, I doubt any corporation will risk hurting their reputation by hiring him...I hope.

Nothing self righteous about this mate, I just think the guys a total scumbag, so I was excited by the prospect that he may end up wearing lipstick at the local pen.

Since this is a music forum, he's also affected the music world with the Wu Tang purchase. Bill Murray and Wu-Tang Clan steal back their album from Martin Shkreli (VIDEO).

I'm not sure if I really buy the whole Wu-Tang album thing. Seems much too much too much too much too much too much too much like an Onion article that got picked up by a credible news source before The Onion could publish it so they just went with it. I can believe that he bought it but I'm even skeptical of that tbh, seems like too much of a perfect coincidence.

William_the_Bloody 12-24-2015 12:21 AM

No he bought it, but on the bright side, with all the free downloading Wu Tang probably made more money than they would have if they released it to the general public.

Maybe this will be a new trend, musical art will only be heard by the rich.
