I'm sure this has already been posted but fuck it:


He's got enough money now that he could retire at fucking thirty, comfortably, in a mansion somewhere like Malibu or Aspen, snorting blow & getting blown by hookers who snort the blow with him for the rest of his days & yet here he is, in this fucking hovel, with generic, Walmart tier furniture and all he really has to his name is some overpriced album he probably wont ever listen to, some gay ass mobility scooter he rides around on in his 250 square foot shoe box of an apartment, surrounded by cheap bottles of wine that are less than a decade old and at the center of it all, some cheap, shitty, plastic Chess set he probably bought 20% off at Amazon.

My old landlord had a nicer Chess set than that with crystal fucking pieces and a granite board. Shit, even I have a nicer Chess set than that made of wood and the board doubles for Chinese Checkers.

He has it all at his fucking fingertips and not only does he not use it for anything, he's actively painting a red fucking target on his ass with text that reads as "kick with the force of God". The way he makes himself out to be a fucking hero by way of being the people's villain, trying to pass off his price hiking bullshit as being for the greater good, when, really, he's doing it for fucking attention. I noticed he has Ender's Game on his book shelf, wedged between all that other garbage like "wine for dummies", like he thinks he's really a benevolent genius forced into being an insecticidal maniac or some shit.

He lights his apartment like the ceiling lights are broken and he has to be frugal about how much electricity he can use because he might not be able to pay off the bill this month on his meager salary with the one lamp set up against the wall.

It's almost like he's a poor hipster that wants to come across as more than he is but in reverse, where he has way more at his disposal than the garbage he keeps in his house.

What's the term you use for an inverted form of loser?

Oh and the girl interviewing him, they really couldn't get someone else? "I don't understand the game we're playing or the wine we're drinking". Like, fucking seriously? It's called "Chess", you dingbat. Everybody and their mother knows how to play motherfucking Chess. She has next to nothing to say the whole way through. The most I ever remember her saying was "Yeah, so, like, people think you're, I dunno, kinda eeeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiil? Like, is that true, 'n stuff?"

Being filthy rich doesn't necessarily mean you actually take advantage of your wealth. Some of them just get off on the wheeling-and-dealing aspects of the money-game, and live surprisingly austere lives.

The greatest example of this kind of low-rent tycoon was Gilded Age financier Hetty Green, the richest American woman of her era and a universally-hated lolcow in her own right. She was worth today's equivalent of about $10 billion at her peak, but wore only one black dress, resold the daily papers she read to get pennies back, and when her son was seriously injured, he ended up needlessly losing his leg because Hetty couldn't find a free clinic to treat him in time.

What made this woman a lolcow? She's just an stingy old biddy as far as I can tell. I understand the part where she was despised given she treated her son like a cockroach but I'm not seeing the funny parts.
 
You know, one wonders how Shkreli managed to make that much money when it's so easy to scam him out of millions of dollars in a heartbeat.

Kanye West just released a new album, Life of Pablo. Shkreli decided, last minute, that he wants exclusive ownership of the album, offering Kanye 10 million dollars for it. When Kanye didn't bite, Shkreli increased his offer to 15 million dollars. His goal, apparently, is to... wipe out hip hop?
But soon after, tragedy strikes:

Shkreli proceeded to freak out at Twitter staff because he can't hide his tweets and stay verified, and started video chats on Blab (Clues For My Stolen Funds) and Spreecast (Where Is My Money) to cry over his loss and, reportedly, threaten the thief that he has satellites with bombs. He then announced his intention to open a GoFundMe campaign to get his 15 million back.
Whether it's real or he's trolling real hard, this is high entertainment.
 
This must be troll, how likely is it for one person to have 15 million USD in bitcoin?

What I wanna know is how it allegedly got stolen. You'd have to be fucking retarded to exchange $15,000,000.00 for bitcoin.

He's just trying to double his money, that's all. I don't think he lost any of it.

Besides that, what's this about him wanting to kill Hip-Hop? I know he threatened to break the Wu-Tang album he has so this shouldn't be a surprise but what's the point? I thought he said he loved the genre so why is he actively trying to strangle it to death?

Oh right, he's a sociopath on a powertrip. I should've guessed.

I look forward to see which bands end up taking the place of the ones that sell their albums to Shkreli. The outcome of this should be interesting to say the least.

Perhaps more of a Horrorcow than a LOLcow. But her aggressive public weirdness was definitely followed and commented on in her day much as we speculate about the doings of Nick Bate and The Fit Vegan Ginger here.

They didn't call her "The Witch of Wall Street" for nothing. Think of her as a richer, grubbier, nastier, Leona Helmsley, it takes a lot of work to become the closest thing to Scrooge McDuck in real life. Definate LOL content in those kind of people.

If he did buy/spend $15M in Bitcoin wouldn't the record of it show up in Bitcoin's public blockchain or transaction list, or whatever the fuck it is these Libertarian idiots use to "legitimize" their play money?

Yes, actually, a lot of people were mentioning that in the replies to his tweets. I don't think he's fooled anybody.

Where's the IndieGoGo page, motherfucker?
