They say Karma finds a way of coming back around, and that couldn’t have been more true in 2015. This year, we saw some of the world’s worst people receive long overdue comeuppance for their awful past behavior–greedy CEOS, violent gay bashers, corrupt politicians, homophobic reality stars. It truly was a banner year for divine payback even though, of course, we don’t wish ill on anyone, no matter how awful they are. Just simple justice.
Check out eight times when karma proved to be a total bitch in 2015…
Martin Shkreli
The 32-year-old price gouging CEO became Public Enemy #1 in August when he raised the price of Daraprim, a drug used by some HIV patients, from $13.50 to $750 per tablet. A major backlash ensued, and when the dust finally settled, Shkreli’s company reported a net loss of $14.6 million. But it gets better. Because on December 17, he was arrested by the FBI and charged with securities fraud, paraded in front of cameras in handcuffs, and a day later he was ousted from his job at Turing Pharmaceuticals. Well, at least temporarily.
