While I detest what he did, it's no different than what any other free-market minded individual would do. Our healthcare system is a profit motivated, not patient motivated. He put profits over people, just like every other big phamrma company. He also was a publicity seeking douchebag, so the media had a field day with him.

In terms of fairness, it's only unfair if we hold some people in the industry to moral standards we don't apply to others. Our choices to maintain fairness are either to hold all economic actors accountable for their actions, or to hold none of the economic actors accountable for their actions. You seem to favour the latter, I favour the former, neither of us is wrong in terms of fairness.
