(18,745 posts)He wants people to die so he can get rich. That cannot be described as anything but evil.
He's far from unique. There are thousands of evil people just like him getting rich by withholding life saving treatment from people who die because they can't afford them.
There is nothing that can happen to this scum that would be too severe.
