Martin Shkreli jailed after Facebook post about Hillary Clinton

A federal judge on Wednesday revoked the $5 million bail of Martin Shkreli, the infamous former hedge fund manager convicted of defrauding investors, after prosecutors complained that his out-of-court antics posed a danger to the community.

While awaiting sentencing, 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. Shkreli, who faces up to 20 years in prison, apologized saying that he did not expect anyone to take his online comments seriously.

“He does not need to apologize to me. He should have apologized to the government, the Secret Service, and Hillary Clinton,” said U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto, in revoking his bond.

1. Was just about to post

That should have happened a long time ago.

[MrScorpio]

2. Finally, some good news today

Rot behind bars, scum bag.

[Gothmog]

3. I agree

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Cons big and small worship this guy.

He is like trump with half a brain.

[iluvtennis]

16. Wow, half the brain of Trump, that means his tank is on empty then

[Eliot Rosewater]

18. No

I meant trump has zero brain and this guy is like if trump had half a brain

why that isnt funny is it is true

[Dustlawyer]

24. Not the kind of cons he is meeting in jail now!

They will love him alright, love him loooong time!

[PSPS]

26. What is that supposed to mean? Please be specific. Thanks!

[jmowreader]

36. You never saw Full Metal Jacket?

There's a scene set at the beginning of Joker's Vietnam tour where a prostitute offers her services..."me so horny, me love you long time."

It's application to Martin Shkreli, who is more likely to be beaten to death by someone whose mom can't afford her Daraprim anymore, should be all too obvious.

[PSPS]

43. I don't see the connection with a movie's prostitute scene. Can you explain? Thanks!

[jmowreader]

49. The original comment was a serial prison rape joke

The idiot who sent the original post is implying that some big guy in prison is going to sell sexual favors with Martin Shkreli against Shkreli's will.

[Fritz Walter]

46. If I may pose a purely hypothetical response

I think the confinement with fellow inmates in his correctional facility may be able to wipe that smirking grin off his very punchable face.
To be clear: I would never condone prison rape. That kind of violence is abhorent, even when visited upon the most despicable (deplorable?) of incarcerees. But, just the overwhelming fear of it -- and other aspects of penal confinement -- might actually wake his mind up to the fact that he is no longer in control, and those who are in control have many different priorities than those to which he has become accustomed. Such a realization might be a life-altering event for him. Possibly, but -- sadly -- not probably. Time will tell.

And, for what it's worth, I base this response not upon any personal experience (there, but for the grace of dog, go I), nor upon what is and has been portrayed in mass media, mostly on pay-cable channels; but rather upon my education which included courses in criminal sociology.

[Dustlawyer]

47. Agree 100% with your post. I do not believe prison should pose a risk of rape.

Unfortunately, prison rape is all to common in most American penal systems. My joking aside it is a real risk when incarcerated and most men fear that much worse than serving the time. Having the crap repeatedly beat out of you or worse is also a risk for inmates unaffiliated with a gang. I do not believe any prison gang would have him, including the skin heads.

Small, delicate younger men are most at risk for abuse. This POS fits that bill to a T.The fact of what he did to be locked up will not be lost on the other inmates as well. He will probably be isolated and/or segregated protective custody.

[Marcuse]

51. He will be fine.

He can afford to pay big $ to a bag man on the outside for protection.

[icymist]

5. Wow! It must suck to be so stupid!

He probably doesn't even know that he really is that stupid.

[forgotmylogin]

53. Guess he doesn't know about the :sarcasm: tag! (n/t)

[Moostache]

6. General Population...he'll last 15 minutes

Prison is not going to be a good experience for that boy.

[Stonepounder]

7. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. n/t

[sheshe2]

8. Shkreli...

He shrieked for the last time?! Such a sad loss ***cough, cough*** to us all.

Buh buh asshole!

[jb5150]

9. I think he's going to be very popular in prison ....

if you know what I mean.

[PSPS]

11. I don't know what you mean. Please explain. Thanks.

[Orrex]

13. He has the most punchable face on Earth

People will be lining up to punch it.

[Gothmog]

22. I disagree-Carnival Cruz is more punchable

It is a close call but I think that Carnival Cruz would win this contest

[Orrex]

27. Golly, I just can't choose!

[Gothmog]

29. I am from Texas and so I am biased in favor of Carnival Cruz

[lastlib]

56. me either--so I'll just punch 'em both, and see....

...which one is more gratifying.........

[DoctorJoJo]

50. Front or Back?

[femmedem]

25. Thank you for that.

I abhor rape culture in any form.

[Orrex]

28. Oh shit!

I totally went in the "punchable face" direction. Didn't even think of that!

[Raine1967]

33. I think we all know what you mean. Consider deleting this post.

Advocating rape or even suggesting that is ok is abhorrent.

Perpetuating rape culture is never ever ok.

[Stuart G]

10. Very Ironic Indeed..the Judge Matsuoto's parents were sent to internment camps during WWII

I guess the judge knows about freedom, and what to do when one is free..

I guess Martin Shkreli hasn't got a fu**en clue what to do when one is "free on bond"
...well, now he will learn...and it won't be pretty..arrogant ass**le.

[argyl]

12. He should be charged for his bounty on Hillary's hair and his other harrassements as well.

[Plucketeer]

14. He's adept

at making a-dolt decisions. I applaud the judge for tightening the leash on this dunce!

[calimary]

15. EXCELLENT!!!

What a cocky little SOB. Can we just leave him in there?

[sakabatou]

17. I never want to see his smirking face again

[MontanaMama]

19. I'm betting this little punk

has a history of domestically abusing his spouse, partners etc... he fits the profile. Lock him up!

[samnsara]

20. hes so purty!

[ehrnst]

21. Yet another old hag thwarts him, despite his best efforts, money, looks and sheer awesomeness...

Asshole says "what?"

(edited to add for the irony impaired)

23. Tim Blake Nelson - In The Jailhouse Now

[maxrandb]

30. He has Facebook followers???

I weep for my country

[Willie Pep]

37. Sadly a lot of right-wing bro types think he is cool.

When did being a troll and an all-around a**hole become a cool thing in this country?

[RainCaster]

64. Such a person lives in the WH now

It seems that a lot of people in this country like asshole trolls, though I am NOT among them.

[LiberalLovinLug]

69. "He is, overnight, charging me thousands of times the charge for my drugs"

"All the while making more money in one week than I'll make in my lifetime, but he said something assholic about Hillary and libtards so he's awesome!"

Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Willie Pep]

70. That is the mentality.

For some conservatives "triggering the libtards" is all that matters, even if they are getting screwed in the process.

[Leghorn21]

31. Sweet tweet:

Link to tweet

If you're in jail with Martin Shkreli, please make sure you charge him %56300 more than everyone else for anything he wants to buy.

Thanks

[rpannier]

38. Frederick Douglas getting noticed more and more

[Leghorn21]

45. Ain't that the truth - and his tweets kick ass on a regular basis! nt

[Pachamama]

32. There is something very wrong mentally with this man....

Its more than just his moral compass being off....I mean literally, when I watch him interviewed and hear him speak and watch his facial expressions - this man has some serious mental deficit and there is something very wrong with him. His counsel might have a better chance at defending him if they use the insanity plea.

[Raine1967]

34. Exactly!

I really truly have to wonder, where is this guys' family and why are they not trying to stop him from this stupid shit?

I'll be honest, I have no sympathy for the things he did that caused him to be found guilty, What I do not understand is why he continues to act so peculiar. Is it that he can't help himself due to some disorder?

Is he really that much of a person that has no empathy for himself and others and doesn't understand that actions have consequences?

This one is a head scratcher.

[SFnomad]

35. I would have enjoyed watching the judge smack the smirk off this d-bag n/t

[7962]

39. Put this POS under the jail.. nt

[Ken Burch]

40. It's about time SOMEBODY wiped that smirk off his face.

It's like he took "bad Peter Parker" as his role model(and fashion icon).

[SunSeeker]

41. My God he is a fucking idiot.

[dalton99a]

42. Have fun, asshole

[snort]

48. No rape jokes please.

[Kablooie]

44. And he's going to a maximum security prison.

I doubt he'll have a very good time there since he'll probably be as popular with the other inmates as he is here with us.

[democratisphere]

52. Another psychopath, that for now, is not on the loose.

[apkhgp]

54. Jailnird

Scum of the Earth
Rot in Hell
Reeking of your
horrible and vile smell

[C Moon]

57. "Oh, he's just misunderstood." Some say. Bull. He's an asshole through and through.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump pardons him (if that is possible).

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

58. Shkreli is a glaring, shreiking symbol of RW trollism.

I just read a few stories about this sociopath and his "followers," and it is just so depressing to know that such a horrible person would have fans.

But then, his fans are the alt-right assholes we've been hearing so much about in the past few years. Mostly young men of wealthy families who are so spoiled rotten they can't think of anything better to do than to be assholes just for the sake of pissing people off.

To them, the most horrific thing that has ever happened to America is the rise of "political correctness." They live to destroy that and any kind of human kindness. I wonder if their parents know what monsters they've created.

60. "Hillary has brave job creator jailed for free speech"

Would be the Fox News/Breitbart headline

[ProgressiveValue]

61. Smirk now.

[Nitram]

62. Great news! The system is still intact and functioning correctly.

[titaniumsalute]

63. Not sure how long his scrawny butt will last in jail with that mouth

[Coventina]

65. This makes my heart smile.

[Cheviteau]

66. This Is An Old Saw

"When you're standing in shit up to your nose, keep your damn mouth shut" This young'un was awaiting sentencing and still had things to say?

[hamsterjill]

67. But...but...but...he didn't think anyone would take him seriously???!!!

Straight out of the Trump playbook if I've ever seen it.

Shkreli knew exactly what he was doing and I applaud this judge for revoking his bail. The smug little asswipe needs to understand that he's no better than anyone else in this country.

[niyad]

68. good. exactly where that thieving, bullying, disgusting creep belongs.

[shenmue]

71. Yay

[ProgressiveValue]

72. I hope all of general population get word of who he is.

Many of them will have family hurt by this asshole.
