Thing that jumped out to me in this is that she wants people to know that Shkreli's "villainous persona is a mask"... listen, somebody who is being a dick on purpose and is aware that they're doing it is *worse*, not *better*, than someone who is just sort of like that.

Like, can we just put that to rest? I remember when the defense of Milo Yiannopoulos was "Oh, but he doesn't actually believe the awful things he says, he only acts this way to make a name for himself" and again that is worse, not better.
If you vote for racist people with racist policies because they benefit you but you want everybody to know you don't have a racist bone in your body: congratulations, you have told the world that you know better and you did it anyway. You're worse than an avowed racist.
Very bad people who do very bad things but have a really decent person inside them are decent people deciding to do very bad things.
Does that actually sound decent? It doesn't sound decent to me.
