Controversial "Pharma Bro", Martin Shkreli, found guilty on 3 of 8 counts in federal trial Login/Join 
Oh stewardess,

We've had a thread or two about this guy, but nothing lately IIRC.

Now his trial is over, more details at NYT:

quote:
.Martin Shkreli, accused of defrauding his hedge fund investors and a pharmaceutical company, was convicted on three of eight counts on Friday, after a five-week trial in the Federal District Court in Brooklyn.

Mr. Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud in connection with his hedge fund MSMB Capital; of securities fraud in connection with another hedge fund he ran, MSMB Healthcare; and of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, related to a scheme in which he tried to secretly control a huge portion of shares of Retrophin, a drug company he started.

He faces up to 20 years on each of the first two counts, and up to five years on the final count.

The conviction, even as a mixed verdict, was a major defeat for the divisive Mr. Shkreli, who said before the trial that he was “so innocent” that the judge, jury and prosecutors would apologize to him afterward.

Mr. Shkreli, 34, was acquitted of the count that potentially carried the most weight for sentencing: count seven, which charged him with defrauding Retrophin by creating sham consulting agreements and unauthorized settlement agreements. That charge was associated with the biggest financial loss, which judges take into account when deciding on sentences in fraud cases..

So here's where the "acting like the world's biggest asshole" is going to be a factor- his sentencing. Oh, yes, the judge will be perfectly impartial. Sure, I believe that.

Have fun, Marty.

That's one serious case of narcissism and sociopath right there. All he way to the pokey.

This guy will have a tough time in prison. Of course some inmates will gravitate to him because they vicariously enjoy Rich people getting ripped off. They will want to know how as well. The Federal prison system holds some of the smartest criminals in the world.

On the other hand this guy lacks the social skills to get along with people and is very annoying. It will be very unpleasant for him. I would like to see how he figures out how to get into the top bunk without stepping on the bunk below it. I predict he will be in Administrative Segregation for quite a while.

I think that the guy's attitude is such that even if he recognizes that he's in an environment where he's pretty much on his own against violent mean who don't give a damn how much money he has nor how clever he thinks he is, he's still gonna run his suck, or he's gonna smirk at the wrong guy. I get the impression that this guy has been a complete dick all his life and has no idea about some things he's going to encounter in there. He'd better watch it real close, but I hope that he does not.

This is the part of the thread where someone comes along to tell us how the guy is going to Club Fed and his worst problem will be that his knees look bony in tennis shorts when he's playing tennis with the warden.

"Barely an hour after the verdict, he was livestreaming on YouTube from his apartment, holding a beer and predicting that the sentence would be "close to nil." He said that if he does go to prison, it will probably be a "Club Fed" where he will "play basketball and tennis and Xbox" for a couple of months."

"My case is a silly witch hunt perpetrated by self-serving prosecutors," he said on Facebook at one point. "Thankfully my amazing attorney sent them back to junior varsity where they belong. Drain the swamp. Drain the sewer that is the DOJ."

Personally I think Martin is in for a surprise.

That's the spirit, Marty. Show all those bitches how it's done. Get right in their face with it.

I do hope the judge sees this. I imagine he'll be informed about it by multiple sources who hate your guts. Smile

First consideration in a Presentence Report, acknowledgment of guilt.

Strike one.

He will be given the opportunity to explain about the proven facts of the "witch hunt".

Strike two...

He'll be just fine.

I would be interested in hearing from Sig Forum members who have worked in the Federal Prison system as to how they think this guy will survive.

This guy has a sort of an Anthony Weiner way of grinding the nerves of the average decent human being.........except without the 12 hour erection.

What sort of prison environment is Madoff in?

How "hard" was Martha Stewart's time?

What about Keating and his time?

Won't this jerk's be similar?

Dunno much about the actual case... but the guy is a douche of the highest order...

Very hard to have much sympathy.
