Most people don't understand how capitalism works and absolutely hate successful people right now (as evidenced by the comments in this thread) and that's probably why capitalism will, in some way, give way to socialism

Now the state will take his funds and you'll end up getting some of it.
so you see nothing wrong with what he is accused of doing?

Prosecutors in Brooklyn charged him with illegally taking assets from Retrophin Inc., a biotechnology firm he started in 2011, and using it to pay debts from unrelated business dealings. He was later ousted from the company, where he’d been chief executive officer, and sued by its board.

Federal prosecutors accuse Shkreli of engaging in a complicated shell game after a hedge fund he started lost millions. He is alleged to have made secret payoffs and set up sham consulting arrangements. A New York lawyer, Evan Greebel, also arrested early Thursday, is accused of conspiring with him.
