‘Pharma Bro’ Shkreli trial Verdict: Guilty on 3 Counts of 8
Former pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli has been convicted on federal charges he deceived investors in a pair of failed hedge funds.
A Brooklyn jury deliberated five days before finding Shkreli guilty on Friday on three of eight counts.
The 34-year-old Shkreli is notorious for a price-gouging scandal and for his snide “Pharma Bro” persona on social media, but the case focused on allegations that he blew investors’ money on bad stock picks before raiding his drug company of stock and cash to pay them back.
