    This guy didn’t just steal from little traders, he tried to pull a fast one on his overlords as well. He made the same mistake Madoff did. He’s going away for a long time.

      Fair point, but maybe he’s another one of these people who will get special considerations for information about larger companies that a government needs for evidence.

      Who knows? I ought to stop cynically speculating, but the world is making it hard not to.

      I do hope he’s another Shkreli though, who annoyed the old money boomers with his ostentatious nouveau riche antics enough to become their poster-manchild for their “See? Bad things do (sometimes) happen to bad rich people!” campaigns.
