Do you like Martin Shkreli?



Over 250 Jurors have been DISMISSED in Martin Shkreli's trial because all of them expressed objections and pre-judgement opinions towards the controversial former pharmaceutical CEO.

The 34 known as "Pharma Bro" was widely condemned for drastically increasing the price of a life saving drug ad he's on trial for securities fraud in New York

He stands accused of lying to investors and running a Ponzi-like scheme across multiple firms and faces 20 YEARS in Prison!!

But finding impartial jurors for the trial is proving to be difficult as over 200 people have been dismissed in just 2 DAYS as many potential jurors have overtly negative opinions about him

One juror described him as a "snake" as another said he was the "face of corporate greed"

Shkreli's attorney, Ben Brafman demanded, in van, that the trial be CALLED OFF but Judge Kiyo Matsumoto summoned a new group of some 150 potential jurors

The court was able to impanel the jurros and alternates needed to proceed as the prosecutor in the case, Karthik Shrinivasan opened the arguments that Shkreli had lies upon lies to swindle investors

He stole 11 million in stock from his pharamaceutical company Retrophin to pay off investors who lost money in two of his hedge funds

Martin resigned from Turing shortly after his indictment and earned the label "most hated man in America" as he hiked the price of Daraprim from 13.50 a pill to 750 a pill.

He smirked in a congressional hearing and has earned his reputation for an extravagant, self-publicizing lifestyle

His twitter was suspended in January for harassing liberal journalists

He also supported Donald Trump and says he and Trump share a common bond where people despise them for "no" apparent reason..

Do you like Martin Shkreli? let's see if people do.

Martin - Rat Face

Aside from him being a straight up asshole, I find it hilarious how hard he tries to embrace being a "bro" when it's obvious he got beat up by them over the course of his life and is now just attempting to be cool.

Any other person and I would have said that's a terrible copout. Any other person on the planet.

But it's him. Lol.

Good luck finding jurors who don't know him, given that Shkreli has been a high-profile ass for ages who gets off on publicity (and pasting his head over women's husbands in pictures).

While Shkreli is a consummate tool, there's something you can almost appreciate in such a master troll. He's like everything that a certain wealth-obsessed troll aspires to be >_>

Well, based on this poll, there's 2 new prospective jurors at least.

I heard about this story, a few of the dismissed jurors hadnt heard of him before, but because of his smug smirking they gave comments like "he looks like a snake/jerk/asshole/untrustworthy"

I wish we could just have a referendum to send certain people to prison forever. I mean, if almost everyone agrees, it's still the will of the people.

His smirk makes me wish that a court-ordered punch was legal as an added punitive sentence.
