Jury selection in the trial of Martin Shkreli is proving tricky, as the notoriety of “Pharma Bro” precedes him.

>On Monday, potential jurors in the trial ruled themselves out, saying they would be unable to be impartial when reaching a decision regarding the innocence or guilt of the former pharmaceutical executive in a fraud case. Shkreli earned notoriety in 2015 after raising the cost of a life-saving HIV drug 5,000 percent while running a drugs company.

>At the jury selection in a Brooklyn courtroom, more than 100 potential jurors were dismissed.

>One called Shkreli “the face of corporate greed”; another labeled him “the most hated man in America” and a third gestured as if wringing his neck, reported the Associated Press.

>Another was sent home after confiding that when she saw Shkreli sitting at the defense table, “I said in my head, ‘That’s a snake.’”

>When asked by the judge if he could remain neutral, another prospective juror replied in the negative, adding, "Honestly? Because [Shkreli] looks like a dick," before he shrugged his shoulders and added, "Sorry," reported Buzzfeed.

>On Tuesday, the trial moves into its second day.

>Shkreli, who on social media has labeled lawmakers investigating his business practices “imbeciles,” is charged with securities fraud, and is on bail following his 2015 arrest.

>At a congressional hearing on the drugs pricing scandal, he smirked and refused to answer questions.

>Essentially, Shkreli is accused of running a Ponzi scheme, using money from new investors in the drugs company he headed, Retrophin, to pay off mounting debts from his failed hedge fund, MSMB Capital.

>He is accused of cheating investors out of $11 million.

>Shkreli was notorious before his arrest, after hiking prices in 2015 for Daraprim, which is used by many AIDS patients, to $750 per pill from $13.50 after obtaining the license for its manufacture. At the time, he was head of Turing Pharmaceuticals. He has since resigned from the position.

>Details also emerged of his lavish spending, and in 2015 he claimed he spent $2 million on the only known copy of the Wu Tang clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. He was banned from Twitter after harassing a female journalist.

>Shkreli faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.

My favorite jury dismissal:
>Well he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan so...
>>
Well they're not wrong

>>153158
what did he do
>>
Throw this arse hole down a deep dark hole and let him rot oh but throw down that 2mil dollar cd down with him just so he can make the most expensive shiv in the world to kill himself
>>
>>153149
The face of liberalism and socialism. I hope they lock him up and throw away the key.
>>
>>153173
I know this must be hard work for someone educated on Bizarro-boards like /pol/, but you would think a 'socialist' would be handing out the stuff at non-profit prices instead of trying to rig up a blatant monopoly and pouring all the money towards his debts.
>>
>>153173
Yeah, face it bro. Shrekli is the face of capitalism, not socialism or liberalism. In fact, he seems quite right wing.
>>
>>153173
What's it like to see everything in red and blue?
>>
I remember watching the videos of him testify before Congress and he seemed either intensely autistic or a straight up sociopath.
>>
>>153562

Well, who are Democrats, other than the defenders of the liberal orthodoxy?

The medical establishment in the USA is very different than in other places.

It is creative and dynamic.

Is life saving medicine something the government is entitled to cheaply to stifle innovative medicines in the future?

Why is he a sociopath?

My hunch is that he is an entrepreneur and he is creating life saving medicines all the time now.

I remember reading on /pol/ about how he is actually not that bad of a guy and has done a lot to help unlike two dollar a day moochers and parasitics.

Without understanding the industry in full, the issue is the government, using human life as a bullshit way of saying, we want your money, and your time, and your mind.

Maybe he's pissed because all he does is buy low and sell high, and after buying something that was too good to be true, he is discovering the feds have already taken the drugs and somehow gotten the company he purchased to run at a cost which meets a real supply and demand market.

This is just another brilliant man sacrificed on the stage of political play so socialist can discredit the rich and get more control over you.

No more!

Wake up!

As for how he looked, if a bunch of liberals roughed you up, how are you going to look?

I will bet you any money the tapes give a look or style of deep dark set and tired eyes.

When you go to Congress, I doubt you have a choice as to where you sit.

Let's go to war instead, I am sure there are a few hundred million dollars of idling tanks waiting for a massacre somewhere.

What is it with 4chan that attracts mentally ill people?
>>
>>153565
Do you even know what this man did? Do you even bother to read what you're typing before you hit post?

My guess is no, because you type like you've been lobotomized
>>
>>153562
How does it feel knowing that an autist is/was richer than you'll ever be?

Also, I don't know if any of you have ever bothered to look, but really A LOT of really successful/rich people come off as autistic or bat shit crazy. A lot of the time it ends up being revealed after they're dead. I wonder if this is more than a coincidence.

Or maybe it's something like what this anon said:
>>153565

>>153750
Our trolling and pranks get taken seriously. Shit like Hillary is a child cannibal who runs a pedo ring underneath a chain of pizza parlors and engages in witch craft using the bones of infants is actually believed by some and they're attracted here. Because the nu-internet doesn't understand irony or shock humor, we also tend to get a glut of autist who genuinely believe edgy shit. Not helped is that the news media fans all this shit, and boards like /pol/ or /mlp/ advertise us off site.
>>
>>153907
did that pedopizza thing really start as a 4chan meme?
I stopped frequenting /b/ as much as I did in my teens, so while I did see some threads on /b/ talking about it I didn't think that they started it.
>>
>>154035
It started on /pol/ actually, then got picked up by others.
>>
>>154061
no kidding
is there any truth to the story tho, or is it completely just a 4chan prank
>>
>>154161

The "evidence" is the equivalent of seeing jesus on your toast if you squint hard enough, or that scene from Black Dynamite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PSueHOY-Jk

In short, it's a bunch of bullshit illusionary correlations via bizarre pattern finding ("this pizza clip art must be an illuminati symbol!").
>>
>>154169
Sure enough a fuckton of leaked mails that describe pedophile acts are not evidence for you...
>>
>>154192
give 1 (one) example that fulfils the following criteria

1: the person who wrote it is relevant
2: there is no doubt as to its authenticity
3: they explicitly talk about a pedophile act
4: this act was not reported to the police at the time it was written
5: you can link to a reliable source
>>
he has almond eyes like a downy

>>153864
>How does it feel knowing that an autist is/was richer than you'll ever be?
Feels fine, since I am rich enough for the things I enjoy. Being super rich is definitely not worth risking jail. Only a lunatic would envy this man.
>>
>>153864
Many people we consider autistic are richer than the average guy. In fact most rich folk suffer from one mental defect or another, a common one being sociopathy.

Honestly I'd be happier to have more autist rich folk than sociopaths, but Shkreli is a combination of both.
>>
Martin Shkreli looks like one of those guys who talk a lot of shit on social media but has nothing to say when you press him in public and tries to act like your friend until you slap him.
>>
Can't they just shoot him in the face on TV after fisting his shit faucet?
>>
>>153562
I'm amazed that he puts so little effort into hiding it. I know these people are supposed to be arrogant, but for fuck's sake this guy takes it to ludicrous extremes.
>>
>>153562
If you can find it there was a stream of him writing up a proposal to buy 4chan that included monetizing memes. /biz/ money would be on him being some special slant of autism that leads to money.
