Yeah, looking at just what they were actually charged with (i.e., not the legal drug price increase), it's a lot easier to see Billy McFarland as the bigger jerk. He lost 26M for investors but also screwed countless others. A lot of ######s simply laughed at the "rich kids of instagram getting screwed" narrative, but there were a lot of young people who saved up and spent all they had on this one of a lifetime trip, others would have used up all their vacation days, and what they got for it was a ham sandwhich.
On the other end, the "victims" of Shreklli went on to testify during the trial that investing with him was the greatest thing they did in their life.
Both committed fraud, one just happened to work out a lot better in the end.
