This guy is the biggest troll of the century. He even has the face for it.
Yep. 🏆
W
Totally
Dude has such a punchable face.
Agree
I read he raised the price just for the companies and sold the pill to people for just $1 a pill and gave uninsured people the pills out of pocket. Then he used the huge profits from charging the companies that much to research more.
He sells it to the layman for a penny a pill, if not just giving it away for free
His own interviews, not to mention its on their own website.
The companies buy the pill for?
The worth of your home is based on the location and market, not what you think it's worth. Idiotic comparison.
Dogon Backwards Its not only based on location and market...those are tools used to help better "assume" (estimate) the price you WANT or CHOOSE to sell it at...
He's a tough guy to figure out, I'll give him that much. I can certainly say I'm glad I listened to his side of the story, something the media was not inclined to show.
With the price being this low, most people werent willing to even produce it. So yeah, what he did was actually a benefit to MOST people, since it got the production back up again.
he's not hard to figure out in the least. And why are you lauding yourself for 'listening to his side' and castigating the media for not showing it? News Flash: the media has never been interested in being inclined to fair coverage, you're not special for just now noticing this, infact it actually makes you stupid for not having realized it sooner.
maxdecphoenix
Wow you're fun
*Psychopaths are usually very hard to figure out*
Use your head the next time you write something.
Martin Shkreli is my nigga
talk to him for 5 mins and you will see the charges against him are bollocks.
Yea the video of him drunk trying to talk shit and act tough and threatening to smack a cat in the face...yea real good guy there
He's a troll, not a bad guy tho
To be accurate he is a Nose-Nigga.
Idk what that means, but ya
Fact #6 he donated that 50,000 to watchmojo so they could make a video to make him look like a decent human
😂😂😂
lmao right
Sounds right to me
He's saved way more lives in such a short time span than you ever will in your life. And no he's not fucking depriving "everyone" (about 2500 people) of this drug like you dumbass ignorant people think. Mojo provided the facts that no one talks about. Too bad they don't talk about the CIA selling Americans heroin just like they sold Americans crack in the 80s... You guys might figure out how the world works one day lmao.
Balls Deep bruh lighten up it was a joke jeez seems like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed
"I bought black culture" ~ Martin Shkreli
He deserves a medal for saying this
Stfu
lmao go fuck yourself
+gamerchunk1
Could've only been worth about 50 cent.
+Jmack1lla eh some dont the rest of us do ik lots of different races who dont work at all so including whites
Jmack1lla it's deshawn lol but my bad I can't tell the difference unless you say jk
Why do I get a feeling that this guy may F-up this whole "villain thing" and end up a hero.
Shkreli is awesome, dude is gem.
He's like a real life lex luthor
You're a fucking prophet.
Because he hopefully will create a better alternative for toxoplasmosis so that those affected can live comfortably with their condition and everyone will realise how the media and political figures (such as all three of the major presidential candidates) will viciously victimize somebody if they are in a position to make themselves appear morally appealing or gain interest to the uneducated masses.
RANCH STEAM This is what people need to understand and I was thinking the exact same thing. Look at the Big 3 of the presidential race. They all oppose him. Ask yourself why that is people..... Because none of them are for us. When is this realization going to hit the masses?
He looks like a GameStop Employee
Lol do you know what this means !0
5 years ago!?!? How did you know
He's not the bad guy. just a scapegoat
Facts
+Francisco Velasco Who is the real bad guy?
+alin alin Razor Ramone
+Jesse Pinkman *Ramon
+Jesse Pinkman Good front. Its Walter White
Here are the facts (that I got from this video):
1. The existing drug sucks. Shkreli wants to make a new, better one.
2. Shkreli's company needs money to do research on that.
3. Shkreli raises the existing, sucky drug's price so that he can make money for the research.
4. Insurance companies have to pay for that increase.
5. Patients are not paying for it, and they are still getting it. Some get it for free.
Is this wrong?
Nope, thats the truth. But, media being media, they twist the shit out of it to make the idiots who take the news on face value hate him.
Okay good. So... He's the good guy?
+Amir Warsanah it's a mix...
He's kind of bad and Kind of Good
He's a good guy. He just likes trolling around
He's good at playing the bad guy.
Shkreli is an icon; his lectures on finance are serious gold nuggets.
oh but now he is looking to get 20 years in prison for his outstanding financial dealings and securities fraud...he is a scumbag fucking weasel
you regurgitate and never think. you walk around life, unthinkingly--you feel nothing. you are very little, wild666
Joe Gil His lectures are financing are okay. He is definitely not an icon though.
He's also a convict
wildstyle666brooke He’ll be out in September of 2023 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He's more likable than Hillary or Trump...smarter too
No one is more likable than Trump
I wouldnt say likeable but he certainly is much much smarter than either yeah that is for certain. He is a very very very cocky fellow impressive thou but cocky
John Red ahahaha. that's funny
I hear that Wu Tang Clan isn't somebody you'd want to mess with.
+Barry Bamb He's mocked them many times. Can you guess what happened?
hahahaaa
I've also heard that. Somebody told me that they aren't really someone you wanna fuck with.
+Barry Bamb I figure Martin is protecting his neck.
+Barry Bamb The Wu Tang clan are now a group of individuals who are no longer together. Notice how it said Ghost Face Killa and not members of the Wu Tang clan. They dont exist or make music anymore.
This is seriously the first unbiased thing I have seen regarding Martin Shkreli.
Even out here in Australia, the reporting has been very much against him without showing the other side of the story.
I don't blame him for revealing the United States' biggest flaw: Health Care System
+Clyde Ng Yeah because is such a surprising revelation.
Clyde Ng Nah education
Bingo
So you would prefer places like the UK, where the NHS is draining billions and billions of pounds, yet it is struggling to even keep running because of all the people it is supporting. Or like in the Nordic countries where their tax rates can reach up to 70%. The US has a lot of flaws, but the Health Care System is not one of them. America is a capitalist country, where there is no safety net, but the sky is a limit, unlike in many other countries where the excellent are stifled to protect the average and below.
lol shkrelis beef with Ghostface was hilarious
If you watch some interviews with him, he's actually a pretty good guy.
He might have an ego problem, but his actions can't really be faulted.
he actually gives the drug away for free to people who don't have insurance
+Hemdat Persaud He's also invited anyone who wants to hear that Wu Tang album to hang out at his house.
Hemdat Persaud I saw someone else say this too. Source?
I've heard it. Shit sounds like crap.
Flash ??? It's fact, nobody but the poor insurancecompanies got hurt by the highering of this drug...
Patrick star No it didnt, one rare drug going up in price will never change the premium, and it clearly the premiums did not get higher lol
Someone who isn't afraid to majorly piss everyone off to do what they think is right is a hero!!
trump?
+malleo13 he gave the drug to anyone who contacted him for free. Also it doesn't treat AIDS it treats toxoplasmosis, of which only 1 in over 1000 hive patients have
so according to this video, he is basically the boss from MGS 3
L
Yah solidus is more accurate
What MGS 3?
Marty Shkreli is actually a good guy
The Nazis also said that about Adolf Hitler. Your point?
Samuel Baugh Martin is nothing like Hitler. Wtf are you saying? Look into Martin a little bit more. Your opinion will change swiftly.
Honestly, over these past several months of popularity, martin has really shown himself to be a pompous douche. My opinion still hans't changed due to his endeavors in promoting growth in research which is typically stagnant without public interest and funds. If it wasn't for his scientific side, his business and personal side promotes a childish persona
He is right when he says, that only the insurance companies will pay more, but in america there is no such thing as consumer's safety, the companies will then charge you 100x as much or not even give you insurance.
Don't hate the player hate the game.
+Chris Trick Nothing wrong with chess just because someone's throwing the pieces.
Earla Weese Wow, I'm speechless.
No I'll hate the player. Fuck that guy.
@@prideguy3233 he's doing nothing wrong
He's given us what we all need to be good people; an antagonist. What a swell guy.
Top 5 Facts about Milo Yiannopoulos!!
why not
YES
+jamn610 I bet what you mean by "sexist" is 'not being a feminist '
+0816Egg Da fuck? This guy looks like a real life Harvey Dent lol
+Deng Chier I bet what you mean by sexist is reading sexiest incorrectly. :-)
He is just too smart for his own good. He's doing laps around people without trying and the only problem is that since people can't follow him, he is just labeled a horrible person. His way of framing things is really interesting
This man is so bright ,misunderstood and misjudged he knew what and how he could help,and made no puns on not making any salary off the company.
It's funny that all his fans will be the first people to say "The media is retarded, don't believe everything the media tells you, omg you're stupid".... Yet they believe everything Shkrelli tells them without dispute, like a billionaire business man is somehow someone we can suddenly trust to be completely honest lol
Why don't you just call him while he's on his livestream and discuss it with him?
Why would i?
Dan Maginnis Because you seem confident in your beliefs so you should test them to learn if you're right or not, there's no better person to do that with than Shkreli himself, and it is entirely possible for you to do so.
Well i didn't mention my beliefs, just an observation of people suddenly trusting sleazy businessmen in suits like Trump & Shkreli. Besides, you remind me of a christian saying "you seem confident that god doesn't exist, why not read the bible and test your belief?" Why get information from the horses mouth when you don't even believe in the horse?
Dan Maginnis You said you found it funny that people trust him, that absolutely is something you can go over in a discussion and draw better conclusions on. You can explain why you don't hear his side, and argue back and forth until you come to a conclusion (whether that is "yeah he's definitely full of shit" or "he's not full of shit" is irrelevant).
You're claiming he is sleazy, and that is where I see bias, how do you *know* he's sleazy? Just as people believe he isn't, you believe he is. The reasoning why people do trust him is because they've listen to him explain his situation, and believe it is understandable. You, I assume, have also listened to him talk about it, and yet still remain unconvinced. That is a point to discuss, but the best available option would be to do it with Martin himself, considering he knows the subject matter better than anyone who supports him does.
Comparing this to a religious discussion is really inaccurate. A religious discussion has only 1 claim, that there is a god (or gods), this discussion has 2, that Martin is trustworthy and not a bad guy, and that Martin should not be trusted.
Consumers aren't suffering from Martin, but the buyers are choking because of this. Remember.
No, they aren't.
Jesse Watt cringe
Oh, look at all the SUFFERING :((((((( caused by Martin.
hang on dont people pay insurance companies for a price and isn't the price determined by the cost of everything for insurance companies, so if those drug prices increase, wont they increase how much people need to pay monthly
Naim, no... insurance companys are not allowed to raise your premium for ongoing issues. If you are a higher risk of something, your premium can be higher.. Like smoking or the older you get. On the contrary some of the things you may go in for MAY NOT be fully covered by your insurance company. Which is the issue people have, you pick a dodgy company that only covers... 75% of treatments but their monthly premium is lets say 10 bucks a month... where as another company may be 20 to 30 a month but cover 100%.
If you don't want to be a target of hate, don't be a CEO of a company.
2:14 The Hotelier shirt niec dud
Hey it's you! Wow it's awesome that you like The Hotelier
Lord and savior Jon
Wow, i didn't expect Goofy to be here at this moment
>Jon Sudano in comment section
>Jon Sudano likes Hotelier
my life is complete
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
So the damn Wu Tang Clan doesn't have another copy? Or at least the files backed up?
Allen Ellsworth he paid 2 million for the album BECAUSE there is no other copy.
clashcitycretin10 You always keep another copy. So they just deleted all the files?
Allen Ellsworth yeah but he bought the rights so they wouldn't be allowed
MOLE Yeah I wasn't to sure on that. Didn't know if he bought the rights too.
To be fair, you can't really blame Shkreli for buying the wu album. That's entirely the wu's fault for selling it that way.
Just goes to show ladies and gentlemen, it's worth investigating before jumping on a bandwagon or witch hunt. This guy is a white collar G.
Hi watchmojo:) i just wanted to say your videos are really awsome! Good luck in the future guys!;)
Well, after seeing this, he doesn't seem as evil as I always perceived him to be.
+Fireclaw Studios He is still douche bag.
He is still a fucking dick.
Not all heroes wear a cape and not all villains are evil.
He is a misunderstood genius
Yes raising the drug price 5000% and saying his shareholders deserve max. profit. He must be good
The bigger picture is missed by Shkreli's skeptics
It is pretty easy to understand the system, you look at this one instance and say "bad". This bigger picture takes a bit of understanding to realize. Your tiny brain doesn't have this capacity though.
You guys are just the best. You have the bigger picture and everything figured out :D
Matthew B Nope... ITS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD He's A ASSHOLE.
For some weird reason, I followed Martin on Twitter. For a weirder reason, HE FOLLOWED ME BACK!!!!! That meant I could send him private messages, like "No jury would convict your assassin."
i dont think he would care
Edgy.
@samspeeds
*your
+HackBennys roflmfaool *your again my dude learn to grammer smh
Martin Shkreli is awesome he's helped me learn so much about finance and investing
I agree, it's crazy how much spin can effect someones image. The great thing is, Martin is a super smart guy and just rolled with the punches. He turned it around. Thats amazing! Lesser men would have offed themselvs, he was considered the countries MOST HATED man.
*Hence the name, "Sir Derp" herp-a-derp!*
Shkreli is a good fucking guy.
It's like I'm in a sci-fi story written by Ayn Rand.
He does kill it with his spreadsheet skills on CZcams. He'll argue with someone while scanning financial docs & fill in spreadsheets & formulas lightning fast at the same time.
martin shkreli is amazing
Shkreli is buying up all the the AIDS medication for himself, because his little gay ass is infected.
I think you will say that until you get sick and cant offer the drugs anymore because he raised the preices.
GT8686 Except that if you have insurance you only pay about $20 for the drug, and if you don't have medicaid of some form you can get the drug for less than a cent from the company.
TymE CS:GO So you admit that money is for you more important than the lives of humans? Also the price of the produce is far less even without the 5000% higher price.
Btw. I didnt know that a 3rd world country has a insurance or that poor people (even in the US) can afford a insurance.
GT8686
1.) I just explained that nobody has to pay any more money than they did before the price hike. They pay the same with insurance, and if they don't have insurance, they don't pay anything.
2.) Turing Pharma only has the rights to Daraprim in the U.S.. They aren't selling the product in any 3rd world countries. And I just explained, that if you have insurance you can get it for approximately the original price, and if you don't have insurance, the company will quite literally give you Daraprim for free. Do some research before you act like you know things.
1:30 Like a boss. No fucks given.
hahahahahaghahaha
Ok people, who thinks this guy is so cool. I don't think u have kids, elderly parents, or just hate human beings. This dude makes Epi pen for people with severe allergies. I know u guys know someone who has one & it's that common. I have a severe peanut allergy. If I eat a peanut accidentally & don't get the $600.00 Epipen ASAP I will die. Now do you think he is cool.
Who fucking cares? Why don't you ask the same questions about the to-the-heaven-praised soldiers you have in your country and thus commits they did over the seas?
Hey, Americans never wanted to go war. That decision & many others are made by our government.
I care about the cashier, deli person, and some teachers who have or have a loved one with food allergies. Can't afford and Epipen. I take it u have never had a near death experience. So go back to that crazy place you call your mind.
He's a great guy lol, the media gives him so much shit for no reason
Really good dude. The best people aren't generally good salespeople and the best salespeople aren't generally the best people.
so i did some research on him...he's actually a pretty cool guy..
He is Albanian. Proud of him
Martin is my idol
huh, i didn't know there was any more to this story. thank you watchmojo.
i like how im subscribed to his chanel and his live stream is right above this video
#niceshirt
+AnthRye (Ryan) Hssssss
+John Smith fat
+AnthRye (Ryan) thicc
+Gam3rzRus fat
I love this guy. He does what he does because he knows hes right.
Martin Shkreli has won the love of all youtube commenters, people known for their intellect and compassion. What a true legend!
You know that feeling..when you cant listen to that song..
I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO IT GODAMMN IT..ITS KILLING ME NOW
He reminds me of Derek from Step Brothers for some reason
I never normally condone assassination but please someone, if we all chip in...
This looked to be an unbiased top 5. Good.
While his act with the album is childish, he's not actually a bad guy in what he has done, everyone just jumped on the bandwagon of hating him because it's easy to do so.
+Reece Hamilton No i just hate rich spoiled brats.
*M. SHKRELI FOR PRESIDENT 2020*
Audi Man LOL after this election cycle why not? Especially if Kanye is gonna be in the running. If he doesn't get in the news before then I'm sure he'll definitely run. He's actually more or less of a stand up guy. You should see his interview with _The Breakfast Club_ if you haven't already.
Shkreli is the President...of getting railed in the ass by guys.
And guys are wondering why Trump is still a candidate. Actual this is the proof that to less money goes into the US school-system.
MrMustBNice. well , that would be hard..as he will still be in Prison! lmao..
MrMustBNice You must be a troll.
the real life Lex Luthor
This is a great genius. I watched his IBM stock video and still stock is what he predicted 3 years ago. Also watched his trail. Tony stark of pharma.
dude has that Punch me face...
tru
I didn't know the name but "punch me face" is perfect hahaha
fr lmao
Arikado09
Arikado09 ikr
You literally have only 2 facts about Martin... all you did was take the details out of the 2 and make it 5.....
+Olbohn welcome to watchmojo kid
+Olbohn Theyre saving the rest for "5 more facts about martin" and "even more facts about martin."
He's a spoiled, misunderstood guy that does the same thing big pharm companies do. Yet you never here a word about them.
Even then, the big pharmaceutical companies don't put anything like what T.P. does back into RnD.
Yep
How is he spoiled tho
omund omund that's the way he acts, like a spoiled kid. That smirk on his face needs to be slapped off. I volunteer to do it.
Lmao you remind me of this Ben Shapiro vid where this feminist tells him he looks like a racists because thats the vibe he gives off.
love this guy. watch his videos.
Watch his youtube account. He is a great guy and nothing like the media shows him.
wow I was so wrong about this guy; I'm shocked
If anyone who criticised him put some thought in to what he was doing, who was telling you the bad information about him and how the drug actually gets to the patient then people really wouldn't hate this guy so much and they could understand a lot of his actions. To be honest the politicians wanted him put away which should ring alarm bells at first, that means most of the medical industry probably wasn't happy about his choice which would usually make them look bad but luckily for them they had the media to villifacte him.
I don't really know a lot about Wu Tang Clan, but has the album ever been released to the public? Because that is what it seems like.
Toxoplasmosis is NOT common in AIDS and HIV victims... It's extremely rare..
Toxoplasmosis itself is actually pretty pervasive, just not dangerous. Chances are if you own a cat, you have it. The problem really only arises with people who have a weakened immune system (such as AIDS/HIV sufferers)
I'm pro him he's doing good things
Like raising prices on AIDS medicine
+blazen skaly Obvious troll is obvious
I'm with Martin
lol all of you ar4e hating even though he said he raised the price for aids medicine ( a disease most of the time caused by own idiocy) and is gonna put that money into making better medicine so y im pro him and im not a troll i actually look into shit like u idiots that are 12 and think there the smartest people ever
***** lol i wont because im not stupid enough to bang somone with aids XD
This guy is so based. Everyone who hates him is an uninformed fool.
+pyromcr I maybe a fool but at least i'm not a greedy bastard like him.
+Kureiji2264 how is he greedy? he bumped up the price to invent a cure
+Kureiji2264 litterally everyone was better off with him raising the price of the drug, of course except for Walmart, Amazon etc. major shareholders of insurance companies. So you're right, let's make the insurance company more many that they could care less about.
+Balls Deep money
***** he was a billionaire before because he has started dozens of companies he does have savings, the drug is dangerous and outdated
The current version of daraprim is not used to treat malaria now, since malaria has mutated. They should make a movie on this guy once his research prove successful .
Love this guy
"He raised the price to save kids"
"He hits me because he loves me"
you obviously didnt listen
+Sinessa no because the more money paid for these drugs means that more money can go to research. if that wasn't true then they would give the stuff away 100% free
MOSBEY51
Are you interested in buying a bridge?
+MOSBEY51 Dont bother bro. People just see things on the internet and news without doing any research. This guy hasnt done anything wrong. All this hate is false and unnecessary
tristan turner
Can you link me to the source you're using that shows his research spendings?
Although I can respect that he wants to find a drug that doesn't have the really awful sounding side effects that they mentioned Deraprim has, he otherwise sounds like a total prick.
He actually sounds like a nice guy, why are people hating on him?
seems to me he's being made an example of. Not because he's doing something different than any other pharmaceutical companies but rather because of his attitude and personality.
He's a hero I
This boy was probably angry and abused, but he wants the insurance companies to pay, not the patients.
with that kind of comment, there's a good chance you were abused as a child than him.
You forgot he was arrested and resigned as CEO. This video feels like an ad.
You notice how he is constantly looking around and above him when he's walking around 2/3 through the video. It's like he is trying to see if someone's gonna assassinate him.
hes a good guy. the media just fucked him.he comes from a poor family and his moral would never let him do this shit without good intentions.hes right why not force these insurance companies to pay up the ass for the pill and then him reinvest the money to a making a better medicine .if he didnt do that where is this capital going to appear from to create and invest in new drugs.
Shkreli for Prezzy
I think there's more than meet the eye. I believe that people should do research before believing or rejecting something
He's not the hero we need, he's the hero we deserve.
"most of the profits are going to research" then picks up a 2mill dollar album
he is a good guy
what is a twat ?
"Mission report: December 16, 1991."
Cool Video
No joke he sounds really smart
Oh, he knows how to exploit the system to benefit himself. But just because someone gets away with something that hurts others in the long run, that make that person "smart".
ReiAyanami8
Idiot
He's a sociopath.
Finally trump said something I don't disagree with.
+Johnny Lee Trump also said recently that he has no problem with people using the bathroom they feel most comfortable with (gender identity). There's more to Trump than just the incendiary statements.
He says a lot of really hateful ignorant things about stuff that hasn't affected him directly, but every once in awhile he hits the nail right on the head
he looks like the juror in the trident gum commercial
Over 2380 comments and not one about how this nigga look like Lizzie Maguire little brother
Martin even said if someone can not afford it he will give them it for free, the reason the price is so high is to have more research
He is a hero actually. The hero we need
Martin is a pretty awesome guy...I'm pretty sure he has psychopathic tendencies, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in every case. Most of the worlds most successful CEO's are technically psychopaths. He's able to make calculated, precise decisions without the burden of feeling the emotional pressure from an uninformed (and media-manipulated) society. He's willing to be the bad guy in order to do some good.
A few facts about this guy...
1) He doesn't take a salary from his company...even though he is quite wealthy, he invests the profits from this company into research.
2) This drug that he raised the price for is STILL much cheaper than similar drugs that treat the same thing.
3) This drug does not treat AIDS and Malaria patients. In fact, it can actually complicate Malaria, and is no longer recommended, as better drugs are available. This drug treats an extremely specific complication commonly found with AIDS victims, and not ALL AIDS victims....only a few thousand people need this drug.
4) If anyone can't afford, doesn't have access to, or doesn't have insurance, Martin's company will give this drug for free to those individuals, and as mentioned, over 60% of the drug is given away.
His CZcams channel needs more Minecraft lets plays, and more doge memes
Damn straight
Glad someone agrees xD
