Martin Shkreli is a punk.

So, he’s out on $5 million bail for a felony securities fraud conviction, coupled with a misdemeanor of just being a dirtbag.  He’s awaiting his January 16th sentencing hearing.

Meanwhile, with little to occupy his time, he took to social media and wrote:

“The Clinton Foundation is willing to KILL to protect its secrets. So on HRC’s book tour, try to grab a hair from her. I must confirm the sequences I have. Will pay $5,000 per hair obtained from Hillary Clinton.”

That alarmed the Secret Service and the judge in Shkreli’s case, who revoked his bail and sent his happy butt to jail.

Shkreli’s lawyers, who should have to show their bar card and some manner of proof that they are actually human, argued that Shkreli’s statement was protected by the First Amendment.

The defense insisted it was merely a tasteless joke comparable to some of President Donald Trump’s derisive comments.

Nice example, guys.

The judge, who has actually read the First Amendment upon occasion, saw it differently.

“This is not protected by the First Amendment,” the judge said. “… There’s a risk that somebody may take him up on it.”

I will have a nicer weekend knowing that this little Pharma Bro punk is in jail.
