r/drama: Martin Shkreli jailed after Facebook post about Hillary Clinton

Offers a $5,000 bounty for some one to rip hair out of the head of someone under secret service protection. Yeah, it totally would have been AOK if Hillary was "conservative".

If you seriously think this was a national security threat you need to keep yourself safe famalam

1 parameciidae 2017-09-13

Sure, the secret service ignores threats if they sound stupid or crazy. It's not like 99% of threats come from semi-coherent morons. Doesn't matter what I think, it matters what the judge thinks and he was apparently sick of this guy's antics. Ha Ha.

1 botchlings 2017-09-13

If Martin Shkreli had said the same thing about Barbara Bush he likely wouldn't have had his bond revoked. It's that simple.

There's a whole list of entertainers who have made comments about Trump that could be construed as an attempt to incite violence yet you don't see them behind bars, do you?

1 parameciidae 2017-09-13

I mean, you're turning everything into the latest skirmish in the great culture wars. Not everything is a liberal vs conservative scenario. His FB posting put the Judge, prosecutor and SS into ass covering mode. It's pretty simple.

1 belmincour 2017-09-13

Those entertainers haven't already been convicted of a crime and released temporarily on bail that is conditional on them not posting things to the internet that might incite others to harm people.

He didn't get imprisoned because of what he said, he's already convicted and was only released on the condition he can prove that he is not a threat to anyone.

Well he's screwed that now, because after this he's destroyed his own argument that he's no threat to anyone.

1 Hemingwavy 2017-09-13

Ah that's an important distinction to make. You can tell because he's in jail.

1 newprofile15 2017-09-13

Is that supposed to back you up? It's pretty clearly inciting people to assault her.

1 botchlings 2017-09-13

People a hell of a lot more famous than Martin Shkreli have said just as bad about President Trump and I don't see them being brought up on charges.

1 pepperouchau 2017-09-13

Why bother acting on a threat when we know the God Emperor is immortal?

1 parameciidae 2017-09-13

He's not being brought up on charges his bond was revoked.

1 botchlings 2017-09-13

Maybe instead of saying "brought up on charges" I should have said "faced legal consequences"

1 buttermyself 2017-09-13

Maybe instead of should have said "faced legal consequences" you should have said "had their bond revoked"

You're honestly the whitest and whiniest bitch on this sub /u/botchlings. Everyone of your dumb agenda post always drips with smug oily satisfaction.

I can't help think you're some autistic edgelord that saw that we're a "cryptohate" sub and came wandering in here. Like most users don't take this sub serious at all but here you are fucking gasping like a fish out of water "I CANT HELP BUT THINK" and "MUH CONSERVATIVE FEE-FEEs".

Is that in Illinois?

1 AlohaWarrior34 2017-09-13

I can't help but think that if he had made similar comments about a conservative the prosecutors wouldn't have been as interested.

I can't help but think that you're retarded.

1 neverevereven 2017-09-13

I cant help but think if he put the same bounty on barbara bushs scalp he would be in the exact same position.

1 Heydammit 2017-09-13

You were really hoping to supplement that $30,000 a year huh?

1 SxeRpw 2017-09-13

You're wrong. Making threats to ANY person no matter political views is extremely illegal and will more than likely lead to the exact same thing

Shkreli has harassed women online, prosecutors argued, and even offered his Facebook followers $5,000 to grab a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair during her book tour.

What an offer.

There's a lot of negative stuff associated with being a retarded recluse and edgelord. There's one big positive though, I can sperg out with all the anti-social behavior I want cuz I've got nothing to lose fam

Oh no you'll lock me up in a small room?? I won't be able to see my friends?? I'll be ostracized you say?? Oh no whatever shall I do

1 snappleteadrink 2017-09-13

Yeah but how to make money? That'd be my only problem and I assume most people's if they got foxxed, I could give a fuck about what a bunch of vanilla dipshits I pretend to like everyday think about my fetish but they have the things I need to survive.

1 MakeAmericaSageAgain 2017-09-13

I used to live in a mouldy basement apartment. I mean legit mould, the kind that gives you asthma and lowers your life expectancy. Then my tranny neighbor convinced me we should sue our landlord. We talked to him and he wanted to settle out of court. Ka-ching! now I don't have to worry about money for another 6 months or so. Then I'll probably kill myself. That's what I call la dolce vita.

They usually segregate the prisoners by security status but if his inner twat comes shining through during intake they might make an exception.

1 IAintThatGuy 2017-09-13

Even if he gets a "VIP" cell where he's alone and only interacts with guards (they do it to famous people in my country, no idea about how it's done in the USA), he might piss off the guards. Hope they throw him a blanket party.

Doesn't happen, it's a piece of propaganda.

Shkreli, 34, is best known for raising the price of an AIDS drug by 5,000 percent but he was convicted by a Brooklyn jury of defrauding the investors in his hedge funds.

Didn't learn anything from Madoff. You can fuck over terminally ill people, but don't you dare screw with the wealthy.

1 libertycannon 2017-09-13

Fun fact, while what he did was really illegal, no one actually lost money because he managed to return a profit with the illegally borrowed money.

1 GhostofRFS 2017-09-13

That's not a fun fact.

1 Awayfone 2017-09-13

What exactly did he do wrong?, the article was vague

More so it seemed everybody got the money the were owed all around?

1 SovietWarfare 2017-09-13

Imagine if you will, that I run a manage peoples money. You give me $10,000 and tell me to grow it. So I do and I make you $500,000 pretty great right? Well what about that initial investment money? It's gone for some reason and no one knows why. So you still have the half million, but that og money gone homie.

1 QuidProQuoChocobo 2017-09-13

Lol did it really grow by that extravagant of amount? Would be more accurate saying you made an additional 15 thousand and the first ten is gone.

1 SovietWarfare 2017-09-13

That's not the correct amount, just an example to give the essence of what he did. He didn't turn 10k into half a million, but he did get a large return for his investors.

1 QuidProQuoChocobo 2017-09-13

Do you happen to know the return? Or how much he scammed?

1 SovietWarfare 2017-09-13

Really it's an investor to investor case, such as this case of this guy "One invested $1.25 million in Shkreli’s hedge fund, got $1.6 million back and 150,000 Retrophin shares, currently worth about $2.9 million. Another said she ended up with a $2.7 million profit from a $300,000 initial investment."

1 QuidProQuoChocobo 2017-09-13

Thanks for the info! Exactly what I was looking for

1 skeetsurfing1984 2017-09-13

He basically told a bunch of lies to potential investors in order to persuade them to invest money w/ him.

While it's true that the investments did pay off for the investors, Shrkeli still committed fraud by telling material lies in order to get the investors' money in the first place. Sort of analogous to how it's still illegal to drive drunk, even if you make it home without hitting anyone/thing.

1 kermit_was_right 2017-09-13

He also lied to the existing investors, and gave them false statements about the performance of his fund and their money.

1 420CO 2017-09-13

He lost a shit ton of his hedge fund's investors money on dumb shit, so he borrowed from his investors of his pharmaceutical company to pay back the hedge fund investors, and then made all the money he took from the pharma company back on not dumb shit. But he memed too hard so the man slapped him down in his prime.

1 TSwizzlesNipples 2017-09-13

memed too hard

1 Che_Gueporna 2017-09-13

Basically, he lost money on his hedge fund investments, but lied and told people that they were making money. Then when he got lucky on the pharma investment, he floated the money across to pay off the original investors, hoping they'd never notice.

It's super illegal.

1 rewind45 2017-09-13

Scamming, the word you are looking for is scamming.

1 neutralvoter 2017-09-13

thing is he didn't fuck over terminally ill people. That's a charge social media lobbed against him because, shockingly, no one actually bothered see what the actual deal was with that drug. They just saw headlines and ran with it. He's the social media antithesis of clock boy.

1 grep_var_log 2017-09-13

And you don't know how insurance works. Adorable.

1 parameciidae 2017-09-13

I know people's take on this guy is that he is a master troll. But, honestly I'm starting to think he's crazy. He's not as much of a genius as people make him out to be (he got caught, after all) but he's not stupid. Even high school drop out cleetus types can be convinced by their lawyers to shut up and keep out of trouble while they're on bail. He's just doing super stupid, insane stuff and I don't think it's all for the laughs.

1 Eternal_Mr_Bones 2017-09-13

He's not crazy he's just a severe aspie.

Makes sense cuz he's smart at investing to some extent but never realizes the consequences of the shit he does.

1 imaginarycreatures 2017-09-13

I feel like it's either that, or he's just one of those guys who's clever enough that he usually talks his way out of trouble, and fails to realize that it's an approach that usually ceases to work effectively once lawyers get involved.

1 parameciidae 2017-09-13

Perhaps. But he didn't show his smarts for investing by sitting at his computer in a basement short selling securities. He had to interact with lawyers and investors to set up his hedge funds and corporations. I don't believe he had the level of functioning to do that, but now is suddenly too autistic to comprehend following his lawyer's advice about staying off facebook, etc.

Given that he was out on bail, I think there was a certain loony recklessness in his behavior. I mean who was he trying to troll with the Hillary hair stuff? It makes no sense. He might be planning on using nuttiness to stay out of prison though.

1 plurpnslurp 2017-09-13

what if he just doesn't care? or is addicted to media attention at this point - though of course that is a type of crazy

And there goes one of the greatest villains in hip-hop history. Shkreli v Wutang was some tasty drama.

1 dogbref 2017-09-13

Shkreli v Wutang

who was in the wrong here?

1 KateUptonsCumback 2017-09-13

Its unpopular but Wutang. Fuck them for making one copy of their album and selling it for a million bucks. Shkreli bought it, went on Hot 97 and had a candid interview with Charlemagne tha God about it and the bubbling feud. He would release little snippets of the album or would stream videos with it playing in the background. RZA put some stupid fucking clause into the sale saying whoever bought it couldn't leak or release any of the tracks.

1 belmincour 2017-09-13

That doesn't sound like Wutang is in the wrong to me.

1 AssWizardOfSiberia 2017-09-13

They only made one copy of their album. That pisses me off, but I can understand it. The thing I can't understand, is RZA's clause that you can't leak it. If Wu Tang gets their million dollars, then why do they care after that point? They won't make any more money after it gets sold to the first person to buy it. So why do that?

1 belmincour 2017-09-13

Because then people who want to hear it know that they have to buy it to hear it, they can't just wait for someone else to buy it.

1 AssWizardOfSiberia 2017-09-13

Oh, never thought of that. Still kinda sucks Wu Tang fans will never get to hear it.

He won't be going to PITA prison.

1 TheBeardedMarxist 2017-09-13

Shkreli said he wanted the hair — with a follicle — to compare Clinton’s DNA to a sample he already had.

What the absolute fuck?

Have you ever seen George Soros and Hillary Clinton in the same room together? Eh?

1 TheBeardedMarxist 2017-09-13

Lol

1 SpotNL 2017-09-13

Akshually...

1 wwaalleess 2017-09-13

The more I actually see Hillary, the less I can be convinced she is a human.

1 IvankaTrumpIsMyWaifu 2017-09-13

Wow her human suit that was covering her lizard exoskeleton really couldn't keep up during that photo!

1 wwaalleess 2017-09-13

The more I actually see Hillary, the less I can be convinced she is a human.

1 SamWhite 2017-09-13

Have you seen his facebook feed recently? He's not trolling anymore, he's gone fully mental. He wants to check Hillary's DNA because he believes she's not human.

1 Gromitt42 2017-09-13

Never go full nut job.

1 ToLurkorCirclejerk 2017-09-13

That.. doesn't read like a serious post, at least coming from Shkreli

1 SamWhite 2017-09-13

It doesn't read like a troll post, and there was plenty of it recently. I honestly think he's gone off the deep end.

1 OnSnowWhiteWings 2017-09-13

Martin Shkreli IRL

1 ManhattanTransFur 2017-09-13

Surely there are all sorts of diapers and robotic attachments he could get Hillary DNA off of.

He offered 5k to anybody who could get one of clintons hair, with follicle intact.

He is now in a maximum security prison.

1 kermit_was_right 2017-09-13

He flew too close to the troll sun.

1 IvankaTrumpIsMyWaifu 2017-09-13

Tangled with Clinton now he's gonna get shanked in prison

Nice oligarchy murica.

1 neutralvoter 2017-09-13

Shkreli, 34, is best known for raising the price of an AIDS drug by 5,000 percent

IT'S NOT AN AIDS DRUG HOLY SHIT

we've been over this so many times it boggles the mind that journalists are still calling it an aids drug

1 Narrenschifff 2017-09-13

Well, it is mostly given to people with AIDS... also AIDS garners more sympathy than "microscopic brain parasite and/or fungal pneumonia in the severely immunocompromised" which is definitely too wordy for the average news consumer

1 JohnBlind 2017-09-13

Garnering sympathy shouldn't be their goal though tbh

1 itsconstantinople 2017-09-13

My guess is he really pissed someone off with a lot of power in the MSM. I can't see why else he was targeted considering every other drug company does the same damn thing to a much worse extent.

1 Narrenschifff 2017-09-13

The media recognizes a lolcow (or a ragecow) immediately, or they'll shape someone into it. They been at this game longer than anyone

1 iknourbutwutmi 2017-09-13

it's strange, but perhaps not a coincidence, that your comment is applicable to the metasubreddits. Lately, at least.

1 SpectroSpecter 2017-09-13

They'll call it an aids drug until people stop slapping the walls and shitting all over the place in a blind fury whenever they read it

Which is never

1 EffOffReddit 2017-09-13

Shut up, AIDS.

1 Greatpointbut 2017-09-13

WTF. I love shkreli now and realize I always have. WTF?

1 Stuntman119 2017-09-13

It is a sad day

1 Greatpointbut 2017-09-13

You might have retardation :)

1 SxeRpw 2017-09-13

His ass won't last in prison. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't see any time in prison. Rich people tend to have power like that

1 IAintThatGuy 2017-09-13

Guy who's famous for fucking with the prices for an AIDS medication is going to spend the next months in a place with the worst AIDS rates, and nothing but violent offenders. That's going to go well.

1 Orsonius 2017-09-13

lol I I dreamed about him last night.

He was like a serious scientist who would synthesize some red crystaline stuff that you put into your eyes and then have basically microscope vision.

He was like a legitimate person in my dream.

1 kermit_was_right 2017-09-13

I think I've been on a schadenfreude high over this shit all day. Goddamn this is some feel good shit right there. Mmmmmm mmm mmm.

1 AssWizardOfSiberia 2017-09-13

I always pronounced his name as Martin Shrekli. Like Shrek.
