This guy is seriously Raymond Schinazi... if Dr. Schinazi was a retard. Schinazi worked for the VA as a research scientist and was allowed to create/research his own shit with 1/8 of his time. 1/8 of his time happened to be where he did all of his work. When Congress got wind of him using grants to develop shit he immediately turned around and sold to drug companies they threw an inquiry at his feet.
Dude just agreed to sell it to the government (for like $200 Million) and walk away into the night. Never to be heard from again. This is not how you get away with shit Shkreli.

I'm not sure what the tylenol has to do with anything, but the Dr. doesn't see any of that. Also, for a lot of hospitals the number of people that actually pay can be below 50%, then you have malpractice insurance, etc. and the Dr isn't actually taking home anywhere close to $300 an hour. It's also a career where you've dedicated your entire life since you finished HS and aren't going to be what's considered wealthy until you're around 40.

Weeeeelllll.... yes, but the duty gets imputed to those who receive the information if they know it's nonpublic. If they just "happen upon" information they're fine but if they wink-wink nudge-nudge from the CEO they know, it's their duty too. The waiter in your scenario, if the govt can convince the jury he knew it was nonpublic, inherited the duty from the executives he heard the info from.

Did you miss the whole Wu Tang thing? He bought an album from Wu Tang, with only one album in existence. He tweeted that he doesn't like Wu Tang, but bought it to keep it from the people. Wu Tang claims the auction was done blind, and only after the fact did they know it was him. Since then, various members have come out against him, but no one's returned their money. As an Analyst pointed out, with record deals being the way they are, and downloading, that's more than they would have netted with the general public.

He's a complete cunt and I would not bat an eye lash if he was run over by a combine.

Right, as opposed to all those other careers that you dedicate your life to after high school and aren't going to be considered wealthy, ever.
Breaking news: People work after they get out of high school. (most) Doctors make more money than most people.

I think by 40 you really mean about 30. Unless you're postulating that doctors have 14 year residencies.

Doctors getting out of school today make less than they did 10 years ago. Corporate America saw the medical industry as the fat cow it was and invaded about 10-15 years ago. They used economies of scale and actual for-profit business strategies to cut the Doctors down somewhat. Doctors still make good coin, but it is going down now...Doctors are more often employees in practices (well compensated ones), but it is getting to be much more rare that they are owners/partners. Medical practices are now run like businesses and the decisions are for-profit...With the associated cost savings and cutting of the fat.

They start making doctor money in their early 30s (usually). As others pointed out, not all doctors make a massive salary. So if you make $100k-150k and have like 8+ years of student debt, saying they won't be "well-off" until they are around 40 seems pretty realistic to me.

Or like 6 of my direct in laws I see twice a week are doctors and I know exactly how their pay and careers work. Yes, maybe that.

Yes, this is what I was getting at. You start getting out of the massive debts and start being well off/wealthy depending on other factors closer to 40.
