Lets talk about Martin Shkreli....

Bernie Madoff is unfortunately considered a legend. But he was never a banker in his career. He was more of an investment manager than anything else, but I can see where you can make the connection with investment banking. A lot of the higher up guys live up to the profile.

From personal experience, I've seen a lot of people whom I used to work with completely lose it and some keep their heads in-place. It really depends on a lot of things and some luck is involved. I would say the most important thing is to watch who you surround yourself with, especially in high finance. They say the mentors and people responsible for your organic professional growth early on play a huge role in what you end up doing down the road.

In Martin Shkreli's case, he was just too bright for his own good and was suffering from a lot of personal issues. Kid moved up way too quickly. I'm younger than him and started a PE firm with some of my old mentors if that puts any perspective into this whole thing.
Hank, if you don't mind my asking, how's the experience working out for you so far? Is it a seed, VC, growth equity, or LBO type of shop you recently started?

You realize the whole purpose of the block chain is so all transactions can be seen? He's probably trolling. If using a tumbler you can find where the bitcoins are. Especially the size of the transaction. Actually if I had the time I could probably find it. Go on blockchain.info and you can probably find it

Thanks for the info.
 
Seems like some amateur dude conned him out of 15 mil :lol: It being in bitcoins just makes it better.

Won't matter if he can track who has it. It's getting it back legally that'll suck.

Only a matter of time before some anon hacker(s) go at him hard and then he'll really be crying.

dude is mentally unstable. would not be surprised if he is crying for attention and making this up.
 
He is such a clown. Why not just donate out of this own pocket? Hopefully it's someone who can break his jaw in 1 punch :lol:
 
There's interviews of his on youtube and you read the comments and there's a lot of douches who worship this scumbag.
 
He's definitely a character, but give him some props for starting from the bottom to running a drug company. Some of his youtube videos are hilarious. 
 
This guy pretty much live streams 24/7 on various platforms. He's pretty cool. One minute he'll teach a lesson on finance and then he'll start messaging chicks on OkCupid. And he's from Brooklyn son.


 
He gives some solid finance lessons on his YT channel and also provides the source materials.

Have recommended them here on NT before.

Pharma Bro “Martin Shkreli” — who gained notoriety for jacking up the price of a life-saving cancer drug in 2015 — recently begged a judge for leniency in his security fraud case. Well, the judge felt otherwise, and although Shkreli faced possible decades behind bars, he’s still undoubtedly unhappy with the sentence that dropped today. CNBC reports that Shkreli received seven years in prison, and the occasion presented high drama in a Manhattan court room.

The Chicago Tribune reveals that Shkreli openly wept while addressing U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto and claiming that he’d apologized for defrauding his investors while running two hedge funds. Although no cameras were present in the court room, this appears to be a stunning reversal in attitude for one of the universe’s proudest trolls. Behold the sudden humility:


He said he is the only person to blame — not the media, not the government, nor his business partners — and that he hopes to make amends and learn from his mistakes.

“I’m not the same person I was. I know right from wrong. I know what it means to tell the truth and what it means to lie,” he said, before apologizing to his investors. “I am terribly sorry I lost your trust. You deserve far better.”

The sentencing also follows a statement from Shkreli’s attorney, Ben Brafman, who admitted that he alternated between wanting to “hug” Shkreli and “punch him in the face,” and this legal comeuppance arrives after Shkreli was ordered to forfeit his rare Wu-Tang Clan album, so yes, he’s having a terrible day. This means seven years of no livestreaming and no ability to harass female journalists while he’s behind bars. It’s probably the first lifetime dose of harsh reality for Shkreli, but surely, we haven’t heard the last of his antics.

7 mill andddd 7 years. bet he feels real silly about all that Hillary slicktalk. hes a mark thats worth 30 million, im sure hell buy his security in prison but hell def get one good sodimization at least.

Pretty sad what happens when you screw over rich people as opposed to the rest of us out here.
 
I have to wonder, If he hadn't raised the price of that drug, would he be going to jail right now?
