Martin Shkreli hits new heights of # in congressional testimony

What I don't get is Shkreli's end game. I understand arrogance. I understand cocky dudes who think they're too cool for everyone and everything. At some point we've probably all known # like this guy - in our private lives. What I don't get is where he thinks all this comes out well for him. He gamed the FDA's regulatory system to gain a monopoly on a drug, then raised the price of the drug to a level no one can afford - perhaps in the mistaken belief that insurance companies would just swallow hard and pay it. When that didn't work out, and oh by the way he got indicted on a securities charge, he lost his job with Turin. So now he just sits in front of his laptop all day while a web cam records him putting bottle caps in his mouth.

How's he going to win? I have no idea. Maybe he's knows he's not, so he figures he might as well make himself a hero to the cocky dudebros of the world. Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit and he really is just this big a tool: I do have a somewhat novel legal theory about his testimony. Tell me what you do with it: Shkreli is under oath throughout his entire testimony, and that covers every word he says under penalty of perjury. I lost count of how many times he said that he respectfully declined to answer. Every word is under oath, under penalty of perjury. Every word. You see where I'm going with this?
