OMG, that sketch is hilar. And somehow better at capturing Shkreli's true essence than any mere photograph.

Something about the confirmation that he's no less smug on trial than at any other point in his day-to-day existence is both breathtaking and completely unsurprising.

Maureen Lohry and Shkreli dated after the arrest. They became engaged sometime after he started his sentence. Lohry has been controlling a lot of his assets (i.e. weird pharma scams), e.g. she's the current CEO of Prospero.

what? I'm a news reporter for a bloomberg rival who also regularly covers court and nothing about Smythe and Shkreli's relationship as described is normal in any sense of the word.
I know most TV and films seem to think all female journalists sleep/flirt with their sources and I'm so sorry this story seems to feed into that bs, but come the fuck on.
Ms. Smythe said she had no regrets about how she had dealt with the ethically perilous issue of covering someone she had developed feelings for. “In journalism school, they don’t really tell you what to do when this comes up,” she said. “I just tried to muddle through it and handle things as best as I could.”
This quote from her in the NYT story is also... gah. If you start developing romantic feelings for your source, you take yourself off the story or end the relationship, jfc.
