Now the public can rest easy knowing that the only person in pharmaceuticals whose business model for increased profits was spending less on R&D and raising the prices of drugs. Growth all around! /s

The public (including many people, unfortunately, in this thread) will now be convinced that there is no more price gouging in pharmaceuticals, which is patently false. It is still legal, it is still one of the primary business models, and still no justice is served to the sick and uninsured.

Shkreli is going to jail because he almost (whether intentionally or not is to be determined) brought regulation to an entire industry that thrives off of raising prices on drugs needed to treat chronic conditions.
