The Martin Shkreli trial roffles thread

i don't like that this is THE STORY OF THE MOMENT when we're all dying but i guess that's clickbait (tm)

the pharma bro story did not include the bit where she was like 'my man will save us from the coronavirus' pic.twitter.com/ktsq2EpOXU

If I understand her correctly, I believe she's asserting that he knows so much about viruses because he is, himself, a virus.

"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, Martin Shkreli" - my head all day

The article also provided no evidence that Christie Smythe and Shkreli had anything other than the obvious journalist and source relationship (regardless of what Smythe thinks). This entire situation is bizarre and shady.

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.

YSI?

Don't know how I forgot about the reporter in a 'relationship' with Shkreli. Guess she's was still completely snowed as of a couple months back:

A blast from the past!

lmao

I wonder if he still wears that smirk all the time.

if only they did this to every monopolist

how creative are judges allowed to get with injunctions, exactly? can they require him to release Once Upon A Time in Shaolin?

It’s already been sold to some bullshit crypto wankers.

He never owned the rights to release it, just a CD.

it's just a 60 minute version of "Got Your Money" anyway

apparently the case was pretty badly banged up

lol that this dude was sitting in prison during the insane runup of crypto

And he's out and about (and per the post above, just in time to totally miss crypto's bubble):
