Martin "Pharma Douche" Shkreli Has Bail Revoked After Encouraging Followers To Grab Hillary Clinton's Hair

Martin Shkreli
Martin "Pharma Douche" Shkreli just learned how his smart-ass ways can get him locked up without bail.

Last week, while awaiting sentencing after being convicted of defrauding investors, Shkreli took to Facebook offering to pay his followers $5,000 if they would grab a strand of Hillary Clinton's hair during her book tour.

In court yesterday, U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto found no humor in the antics and revoked his bail.

Shkreli, who faces up to 20 years in prison for securities fraud, apologized in writing, saying that he did not expect anyone to take his online comments seriously, and his attorneys pleaded with the judge Wednesday to give him another chance.

“The fact that he continues to remain unaware of the inappropriateness of his actions or words demonstrates to me that he may be creating ongoing risk to the community,” said Judge Matsumoto, as she revoked his bond.

“This is a solicitation of assault. That is not protected by the First Amendment.”

Shkreli is facing up to 20 years in prison for securities fraud.

He'll now remain locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn until his sentencing in January 2018.
