I don&#x27;t know the details of this particular case but whenever I see a very public figure arrested, no matter how reviled, I grow a bit concerned. Despite being sleazy and unethical, his raising of drug prices was not against the law. Financial law was written purposely vague such that it can be used a hammer to arrest those who dissent from the will of those in power.<p>Yulia Tymoshenko, former prime minister of Ukraine was convicted of &quot;embezzlement and abuse of power&quot;. Julian Assange, editor-in-chief of Wikileaks is facing extradition. Elliot Spitzer, former attorney general, was ousted from power due to a prostitution scandal that appeared targeted.<p>Whatever you think about US health care and drug prices, we should not rely on a system that requires individual actors to be good people. We should strive for a system that does not require moral actors to function.<p>Of course I could be wrong. Shkreli arrest could be legit and be purely coincidental to the outrage that he has drawn.
