Martin Shkreli comments on his conviction


 
“I’m one of the richest New Yorkers there is, and after today’s outcome it’s going to stay that way and, uh, it feels pretty good," Martin Shkreli told reporters.

He invited a reporter from the Daily News to his home and said he thought the odds of him receiving even a short prison sentence was 50%.

“If it’s a year, that’s four months at Club Fed. I’ll play basketball and tennis and X-Box, and be out on these streets in four months.”

Hopefully, the judge will take these comments into account when putting him away.

I wonder how freakish his Albanian and Croatian parents are. I wish they'd show pictures of any family or relatives he has, maybe going to back to their native land and finding all their weird-looking kin. He has two presumably weird-looking sisters and a brother who I assume is some sort of freak.

He went to Baruch "College", named after traitorous pro-Confederate Zionist Bernard M. Baruch. In May, some Baruch College boys were charged with third degree murder and plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter after killing a classmate for entertainment.

Shkreli is a Catholic and went to Sunday School as weird-looking child.

Psychologist on Shkreli

After his "testimony" before Congress, Shkreli tweeted: “Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government.”

From NBC News:
“For him to tweet that for the world to see – wow – that seems to suggest, you know the rules don’t apply to me,” Thomas Plante, Santa Clara University professor of psychology, said after watching the hearing today.

“I was having this image of a middle school teacher scolding a young student for acting like a jerk in class,” Plante said, explaining it is diagnose from afar but says Shkreli may have personality issues.

“When you see egotistical behavior or narcissistic behavior sort of on steroids, it can be absolutely breathtaking,” Plante said, explaining this type of behavior he is displaying is a growing trend in society.

“Unfortunately we live in a time and a place where it’s all about ‘me’ and not about ‘we,’ Plante said, explaining Shkreli’s attitudes may have been reinforced each time he climbed in his career and his behavior is unlikely to change since he is over 30.

“It’s probably pretty late in the game to expect personality change, but people do sort of have what we call ‘Come to Jesus moment’ where they say, ‘oh my goodness what have I done?’” Plante said.
