This bro’s got issues.

A federal judge has signed an order for a psychiatric exam for convicted Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli, just days after yanking his $5 million bail, court records show.

Brooklyn Federal Judge Kiyo Matsumoto signed off on the test for the 34-year-old on Tuesday, according to court records.

The reason for the exam and who requested it remains a mystery, as the motion is sealed and not available to the public.

Matsumoto ordered Shkreli held without bail on Sept. 13, after he posted a screed on Facebook offering a $5,000 bounty for a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair.

He insisted the Facebook post was a joke, and wrote a letter apologizing to the court, but the judge wasn’t swayed.

Shkreli — who hiked the price of an AIDS drug from $13.50 to $750 a pill when he ran Turing Pharmaceuticals — was convicted in August of securities fraud and a related conspiracy count.

1. I would say..

he's a narcissistic sociopath. Just my layman's opinion.

2. I can save them the trouble.

He's a privileged brat who never grew up. (Where have we seen that before??)

3. Hardly. His parents were immigrants who worked as janitors.

But i still hope they throw this bastard under the jail. He's cost many people a ton of money. Myself included; 5 yrs ago.

I imagine at one time his parents were probably very proud of his success. then it went to his head and he became an asshole

4. I don't mean he was born with money

But he is definitely privileged as a now-rich white male. (And I'm not knocking white males, but he got away with things for awhile that no other group would have.)

8. Or that big pharma is using him as a patsy, takes some heat off of them.

5. easy....

he's a fucking asshole. Lock him up....

6. Likely the result of trying to buy Hilary's hair.

7. Holy crap, what a douche!!!! nt

9. He posted a strange video before his arrest

Claiming he had the 'emails' and was being gang stalked around NYC by the Deep State.
