Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli Bail Revoked, Judge Calls Him ‘Danger To Society,’ Locks Him Up
“Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli, who was out on bail pending his sentencing for swindling hedge fund investors, has had his bail revoked by a judge who has put him behind bars for being a “danger to society. Shkreli had been ranting on Facebook with what amounted to threats against Hillary Clinton and her hair. Shkreli put a bounty on the scalp or a chunk of hair from the former secretary of state, and that violated his parole in New York this afternoon. Shkreli’s lawyer, Ben Brafman, rushed to his defense, saying that it was Shkreli’s lame attempt at humor during a tense time, but the judge wasn’t having it.
