People who should be convicted for securities fraud before Martin Shkreli : most banks, venture vehicles, crypto tokens, the President

If we used that standard - "someone worse got off" - no-one would ever be convicted of anything. Not a good argument.

that's a good point, but i think the interesting question here is why some people get away with it and others don't. that's the real issue

Yes. It's ok if only a subset of law-breakers are punished, but bad if we decide who to punish based on who's, e.g, likeable /an easy target

P.S. I hate Shkreli like whoa
