NEW YORK (AP) — Martin Shkreli, the eccentric former pharmaceutical CEO notorious for a price-gouging scandal and for his snide “Pharma Bro” persona on social media, was convicted Friday on federal charges he deceived investors in a pair of failed hedge funds.

A Brooklyn jury deliberated five days before finding Shkreli guilty on three of eight counts. He had been charged with securities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Now if we could get Trump next this year would be great

 

[Lord Morairty007]

Fuck him I hope he gets the max sentence.
Rot in jail Shkreli!

 

[GK86]

Enjoy prison!

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Beautiful.

 

[Linkin112]

How much time is he getting though? Didn't see it in the article

 

[Taco_Human]

How will we ever listen to Enter the Shoalin now?

 

[DrArchon]

Enjoy prison!

But...but...but...prison's for poor people!

 

[kris.]

Good. Dude is a prick.

Sentencing probably hasn't happened yet.

 

[louiedog]

Enjoy prison!

Now that's a convictable face.

 

[noquarter]

Do the right thing judge and jury, make part of the sentencing putting that Wu Tang album online.

And fuck this guy. Hope he gets the max sentence possible.

 

[Robot Carnival]

that's good and all but what's the sentence? I hope he gets put away for a while and not just a fine.

 

[the anime man]

Fuck yeah. Dude's a huge piece of shit.

 

[Akuun]

I hope he gets the max sentence then.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Sentencing comes after conviction. That's basically another (much shorter) trial.

 

[Walter White Walker]

Hope he gets the max or close to it.

 

[seat]

Bye, you fuckin' piece of shit.

Dunno yet, breaking news. Just convicted.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

 

[Bleepey]

McLovin needs to play him in the movie.

 

[MomoPufflet]

So what kind of realistic disappointing sentence are we looking at?

 

[Xe4]

Eat shit Shkreli. Scumbag of the Earth with the worlds most punchable face. I hope he faces the maximum sentence he can.

 

[Username1198]

Protect yo neck in jail !

 

[Saganator]

This guy deserves to have bad things to happen to him, but he'll probably continue to skate through life. If he see's a cell, I doubt it will be for longer than a couple months. His parents should issue a public apology for his existence.

 

[Dan]

Damn, only got him on 3 of the 8 charges.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

I don't know enough about the case to have a real opinion on it, but hot damn Shkreli seemed to actively try to get himself convicted the way he acted during the trial.

 

[Violence Jack]

I love it. Give him all 20 years.

 

[_woLf]

Good fucking riddance.

Drop the book on that asshole.

Ah alright. Hope they don't go easy on him like Michelle Carter got yesterday.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Sentencing is separate from trial.

edit: beaten

 

[Sami+]

lol. Hope he fucking rots in there but my hopes aren't too high for a long sentence.

 

[Zaventem]

He's partially right people are using him as a scapegoat. Also he got fatter, that stress got to him. Stupid smirk is still there though.

 

[Allforce]

So what kind of realistic disappointing sentence are we looking at?

Likely a fine and probation of some duration.

If jail time then it's going to be at Club Fed and he'll play tennis and have access to a law library and internet every day with other non-violent white-collar criminals. Nothing more than a year I'd suppose just to send a message.

 

[TomWaitsForNoMan]

He'll still probably be a millionaire when he gets out. It's no punishment at all really

 

[Dynasty]

Funny thing was he was so sure he would have been found not guilty.

 

[AuthenticM]

I hope he not only goes to jail for a long time, but also loses his fortune.

 

[benicillin]

Good, hope he likes prison.

 

[sflufan]

RELEASE THE WU-TANG ALBUM!

 

[Trouble]

 

[Akuun]

He did seem to piss off everyone in court by being a jackass though, so maybe he won't get off with something disappointingly light.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

So good.gif

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Relax guys, rich people don't do hard prison time

 

[jack_package_200]

I wonder if his boy Milo will visit him in prison.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Somebody post Shkreli in the Timbs

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Bingo.

And I'll be interested to see what "prison" he ends up in. It'll probably look like a resort to most of us.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Crazy to see that he is 'delighted' by this verdict, I guess it is a win in some way that you didn't get convicted on all counts.

I would be shocked if he actually goes to prison.

And I'll be interested to see what "prison" he ends up in. It'll probably look like a resort to most of us.

Martha Stewart prison.

depriving someone of freedom for a period of time is certainly a punishment

 

[Ekai]

He's so emotionless, he probably doesn't care.
