    Oupps.... You are ruining the narrative... :)

    If you give too much attention to a troll, that also ruins the otherwise interesting thread....

    The numbers look entirely different when you a) filter by white collar crimes, and b) aggregate cultural background not religion.

    I never attacked a religion nor made a case for or against a specific religion. I made the case that even when accounting for the fact that Jews are over represented in financial services (vs their representation in broad American society) Jews committing white collar crimes still stand out starkly. That's the entire point I made and Shkreli is Jewish, so is Madoff and so were countless other white collar crime perps. You can put me on ignore if you like but that does not change facts.

    I would like to interrupt the racism with the current news:

    http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/11/a-ma...bank-account-had-negative-33-cents-in-it.html

    A Martin Shkreli hedge fund bank account had 'negative 33 cents' in it when he was claiming tens of millions in assets under management
    • An accountant said Shkreli's funds individually never had more than $1.6 million in them despite investors believing he had up to $50 million in them.

    Best part:

    "She revealed Tuesday that Retrophin, a drug company founded by Shkreli, paid $10,000 for Jay-Z concert tickets at a time when the company had just tens of thousands of dollars in its own bank accounts."

    There is no racism when there are 1.9% of the entire population Jewish but 15% of almost all incarcerated white crime criminals are Jewish. The percentage is even way higher when you include arbitrations and monetary settlements. Shkreli is Jewish and when he gets jailed he will become just another number in this statistic.

    It is a sad state of affairs when an entire nation goes bazooka over a handful of Muslims who committed crimes in America over the past 100 years but 15% of all white collar criminals are Jewish (when there are only 2% of the population Jewish) and when pointing this out one is painted a racist, nazi and dumb.

    Note: I am neither Jewish nor Muslim and again this is about a certain group in America that gets away with lots of crime without anyone talking about it because a powerful lobby assassinates anyone who brings up the topic. This is not about religion. I made my point Re this topic so all the lemmings can get back at still speculating whether Shkreli will be convicted or not. I made my point in the first post of mine here and it will exactly happen as predicted.

    The real dumb in society get all excited about jay-z tickets and 10k payments while ignoring much more pressing issues.

    Today we spice up the witness testimony with some gay fawning (otherwise irrelevant to the case):

    http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/12/retrophin-ex-chairman-was-absolutely-stunned-by-shkreli-lie.html

    The relevant part is how the witness told Shkreli's ousting from the CEO position...

    "One was Shkreli's strained working relationship with a top Retrophin executive, Richardson said. Another was the fact that "he wasn't following through on some of his commitments" regarding stock trading with investors' cash in Retrophin being done by company employees.

    Richardson said he and other members of Retrophin's board became concerned about that trading, which he described as a "hedge fund" within Retrophin. They told Shkreli to scale back such activity, Richardson said.
    Richardson testified, he had learned that not only had Shkreli "ignored our instructions on trading" by the group of Retrophin employees acting as a hedge fund, but Shkreli had set up "a commission structure" for those workers.

    Richadson said he asked Shkreli if there was such a commission system for trading by Retrophin employees. Shkreli said there was not, Richardson testified.

    "I was stunned, absolutely stunned, because as a board member, at the time, he's lying to my face after I asked him point blank," Richardson testified."

    Shkreli's behavior was very Trump-like, not taking advice, responding with attacks and threats to criticism, etc.
