    Kumail’s tweet is gold. I actually did ‘laugh out loud’. Because his arrest was pretty much the best thing that happened to anybody yesterday.

      Hahah, I know right? I’m just a bit younger than him, but I felt that, too. He’s younger than my husband, though. So, yeah. Okay, maybe we’re just on the cusp of being able to really start saving and not being paycheck to paycheck, but at least we aren’t complete douches and frauds. But it is a bit of a trip to see that he was founding companies back in 2008, when I was just graduating from undergrad and completely floundering around trying to figure out what the fuck to do with myself.

    Man but if anyone thinks he’ll ever do any time that’s hilarious. Rich, white men doing white collar crimes rarely get more than a slap on the wrist save for the most egregious offenses like Bernie Madoff.

      I would love to see him go to jail for life, but he’ll show up at his trial, none of the jury will know him, he’ll put on his “I’m so sowwy,” face, pay a hefty fine that he’ll recoup in a few months from more shady business dealings, and then carry on with his life as usual.

    I’m sure this has been pointed out before, but Turing Pharmaceuticals is an extremely ironic name for a company that acts without basic humanity.

    Oh yes, “the support”. This from the man who has no friends, by his own admission. Maybe his mommy and daddy. Oh and that 16 year old girl he was online with. (She will write to him in prison and they will marry when she is of age.)

      I’m betting you just have standards, and they are more than just “is 18”.

    Karma, bitch. Now let’s just hope he actually is punished/serves some time. If not that, hopefully he’ll go broke having to pay exorbitant legal fees (it’s not enough, but it’d be something).

        Don't you have to have some sort of athletic physique to be considered a "bro" ? This guy looks like a wet noodle.

          I think it’s more the heinous fuckery of his uncompromising, unflinchingly douchey behavior that makes him a bro.
