Judge rejects 'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli's request to be let out of prison to research a coronavirus treatment after probation officials called the offer 'delusional.' Shkreli was convicted in 2017 of lying to and defrauding investors.

FILE - In this Aug. 15, 2017 photo, Martin Shkreli is interviewed on the Fox Business Network in New York. A judge rejected the request of the convicted pharmaceutical executive to be let out of prison to research a coronavirus treatment, noting that probation officials viewed that claim as the type of “delusional self-aggrandizing behavior” that led to his conviction.

NEW YORK — A judge rejected the request of convicted pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli to be let out of prison to research a coronavirus treatment, noting that probation officials viewed that claim as the type of “delusional self-aggrandizing behavior” that led to his conviction. The low-security prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, where the 37-year-old Shkreli is locked up has reported no cases of coronavirus among inmates and staff, and there’s no evidence in his medical files to suggest a childhood bout with asthma continues to pose a significant health problem, Matsumoto wrote.

He wrote that his background “as a successful two-time biopharma entrepreneur, having purchased multiple companies, invented multiple new drug candidates” would make him a valuable asset.

Tokenism. Pour encourager les autres?

Thank you

He’s not a scientist, he’s a business major. I don’t believe he personally has squat to offer research for either a COVID-19 vaccine or treatment. If he has cash he can always help from the inside. I suspect that he just wants to escape responsibility for his actions.

May he rot

Why can’t cant this guy just go away like forever if you know what I mean.

He must’ve messed over some powerful white folk....he’s crazy rich doing white collar crimes....this doesn’t usually happen

Flynn and Manafort skate though 😂

HA HA!!!

There’s a guy that looks exactly like this in the WH.

Interesting

Pretty sure that is a Raymond Reddington grin.

He has never developed a thing so no.

cryborg This guy should have a no parole life sentence.

Good !!

He isn't a scientist and he has nothing to offer but his constant whining. He needs to rot in prison.

Maybe the pharmaceutical company you exploited can save you w a vaccine Martin

This guy 🤢🤢 has a mental problem

Probably get pardon by barr

Yet sex offenders allowed out

Let him out to work with Elisabeth Holmes. The two of them can come up with an overpriced treatment that doesn’t work.

TheBMartin

NJdoc Awe that’s tooooooooooo bad.

Now do Manafort.

good, now why the fuck is Paul Mannefort out?

That guy looks like the dude i wantto punch in the face

They'll keep him in prison where he belongs he's a criminal

Has he considered donation to Trump family, he will be free in few weeks.

But by all means let the rapists out.

ObamaGate

This guy is a POS.

SgtDGumby Trash stays in trash can.

What a shame....I heard that Trump was going to appoint him as the Secretary of Homeland Security once he gets out of jail

Keep him in jail!!!

His court costs should be made 55.5 higher than the regular rate.

He should be the test subject

FREE MARTIN!

He and kushner share the same waxy, souless resemblance

What could it hurt? Mans proved he has a brain. Democrats throw people in jail all the time for trying work while giving out free money. Least they could do is release someone who change could the world.

Trump will hire him. Perfect resume for the administration

We all hate this guy but he was only using the same business model that is industry standard for big pharma.

Sampling his own pharmas

I’m sick of this.Tgey shouldn’t let anybody out.If they are in prison they should be able to create a Covid area and non Covid area.They are by definition sheltering in place.

Dude looks like a condom full of milk.

Tell him Don Jr has already taken his title of World's Most Punchable Face.

In times like this, it's always nice to read some good news.

TeresaMWalker Good !! He’s a crazy !

The most punchable face in America

Trump will pardon by noon tomorrow. Will claim this guy has the treatment.

We have enough Martin Shkreli's out here...just wait till the Corona vaccine has been discovered...billionaires and Martin Shkreli's will be fighting to get control of it !!

👍

I'm no doctor or psychiatrist but this 'Pharma bro' person, the one in your picture, strikes me as having autistic features. it is not a condemnation, merely an observation. Has no one else seen this!!

And he would have got away with it too, if not for these meddling kids

Definitely a greater that the true criminals being released

I’m surprised Trump hasn’t pardoned this guy yet... he and Trump are two peas in a pod.

HE GIVES THE AIDS DRUG AWAY FOR FREE. The price hike was just for insurance companies, and govt. He uses that money for R and D, for a BETTER drug, as that one has a lot of problems. He is a nice guy, who was there for me, when our friend died.

There are murderers and rapists that were released early. Please keep that in mind.

Not to worry, they’ll let a few killers out instead.

$20 says this guy gets a presidential pardon and a position in charge of a health agency with the White House in the next 6 months.

👀Musk

Maybe he should start with Clorox!!

hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahshsh hahah hahahaha ahahahahah hahahaha haha hahahahahahahah hahahahaha hahahahahshhahaha 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂

Treatment for coronavirus probably be 750 bucks a dose... 🖕🏻

The smirk alone should have gotten him another 5 to 10.

Manafort got out .

Oooo I smell another pardonnnnnn!

He has that same lil rich a**hole smirk as Tr🐽mp

Martin is a good guy and some are upset that he took huge bucks from the greedy, billion dollar insurance companies. Did you know that he gave his products away for free to those who didn’t have insurance? Big Pharmaceutical and Insurance companies paid the media to ruin him.

Lol...Shkreli just a kid, can't play like the big mofos

Wu Tang Clan ain’t nothing to fuck with!

How sad. That was an almost flawless legal strategy.

Gotta be top 3 in all time punchable faces.

everyone in here is excited about this guy being stuck in prison but the reason he’s in prison kind of ruins that for me

Martin should be released He has the following confirmed diagnosis, which cannot be accommodated Z99.89 Dependence on enabling machines and devices, not elsewhere classified ​R46.1: Bizzare personal appearance And while incarcerated, suffered W55.41XA in Y92.146 FreeShkreli

So after he upcharged a life saving drug 5,000%, he's actually arguing that he should be involved in the research of a coronavirus treatment... This is beyond parody at this point.

This guy is a Crook, please watch him closely.

Well, that's very satisfying.

Researching ways to price gouge is critical to restarting the economy...

Colorado released an armed robber who went on to murder someone after getting let out lol. At least he didn’t defraud investors.

Thanks, I needed some good news today.

He can do his research at prison.

He wants a break from being the prison bitchh.

😂

Good. That guy can rot in jail. He deserves it.

DavidEarlLive Surprised it took 2020 this long to bring this fella back.

Disrespected Wu Tang Clan. Let this be your regular reminder, kids.

What, a treatment he could defraud investors over and raise the cost 700% in one day.. And they didn’t go for that? I guess he’s not a Trump Republican. Surprising for how genuinely hatable he is..

I’m surprised Trump hasn’t pardon him this guy just like trump

obviously hasn't learned his lesson yet.

Let that bastard rot..

Instead, let out the violet crime convicts, like murderers and rapists. But don't let out Pharma Bro. Makes perfect sense.

Thank you ,Judge !

This is outrageous persecution. FreeShkreli

Nice try, dirtbag

Wu Tang curse ain't nothin to f with

May this 🤡🤡🤡 get COVID ten times.

KARMA would be if he did die in prison because of this virus

He should have said he wants to open investigation of Biden.

The Art of the Deal

What this clown would have done is not researched a treatment, he would have formed a company and claimed that they were doing so in order defraud people out of more money. Shame on officials if they had let him. GreedNeverSleeps

Oh but Manafort... 🤔

The idiot with no scientific training or background?

Lol that guys nuts

Good!!!

LMFAO

He's delusional, send him to the infirmary.

whew !

HA. HA.

This dude needs a straight jacket.
