Shkreli did not get “hard time”, he got a basic, well-deserved prison sentence.

I find it distressing that folks keep pointing out that the investors did not lose money. Are they deliberately ignoring the fact that Shkreli had no right to take criminal risks with investor money?

I don't think GP is implying that it is OK to take risks with investor money. However it sounds right that you should get a longer prison term if you gamble and lose $8B than if you gamble and make some money on it.
