And Then On Some Days, You Smile
The one smartass privileged person you wanted to go jail more than Donald Trump, Jr. was Martin Shkreli, AKA Pharma Bro, who got 7 years federal time for committing securities fraud.
He was the smirking chimp of a man who raised the price of an HIV drug from $13.50 to $750. and became the most hated man in America.
Well, he’s back in the news because prison life probably just got a little worse for him.
Here’s a little news clip you might enjoy.
It appears that Martin got caught with a illegal cellphone, running his drug business while in prison.
Earlier this month, the much-maligned pharmaceutical businessman and uber troll Martin Shkreli was put in solitary confinement at Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, Forbes has been told by two sources with knowledge of the situation. That came after the Wall Street Journal described how he was using a contraband phone to run his pharma business from behind bars.
He got moved to solitary. Now his only friend is some dude who raised drug prices from $13.50 to $750 and everybody hates.
That makes me smile, but then I’m kinda a sick person filled to the brim with my share of “assholes”.
Thanks to Deb T for the cool newspaper clipping.
Ratted out by the Wall Street Journal.
Thanks, Miss Juanita, you just made my day.
1He doesn’t even deserve the lamest thoughts an prayers.
2Perhaps the guards will look the other way?
I’m going to pencil in on my books wanted list, “Doin’ Good Times With Pharm-Bro” by Krispy & D-Block (spec)
3All this asshole did was the same thing the big pharmaceutical companies have been doing and continue to do. He just got greedier faster. Somehow exposing him has made them look good by comparison, and they don’t deserve that. The entire corrupt pharmaceutical industry is overdue for a good, old fashioned Texas ass-whuppin’.
4Rick, I think there is a potential blockbuster in that idea!
5LOL! Couldn’t happen to a “nicer” guy.
6Patrons,
In common with all other snacilbupeR, I hate Mr Shkreli, for his greed and possibly for other sins of which I have yet to hear. But I speak against encouraging other prisoners or guards harming him while he is inside and unable to protect himself.
Once outside, the aforementioned a$$-whuppin’ is definitely on offer.
7That is unusual. Prisoners usually have a prison nickname which is different than the name they were called before they went to prison.
