Martin Shkreli, the embattled pharmaceutical CEO, was sentenced to seven years in prison for securities fraud.
The so-called “Pharma Bro” was convicted last year on charges that he deceived investors through failed hedge funds. Weeks later, he had his $5 million bail revoked when he posted what was a considered a threat to Hillary Clinton.
The 34-year-old, who is probably best known for hiking up the price of a life-saving drug, was charged with securities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud; a jury found him guilty on three of eight counts.
From his social media presence to his leadership of pharmaceutical companies, here’s a look at Shkreli’s life and controversies.
