'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli Denied Release From Prison To Research Coronavirus Cure

[GGD]

A federal judge has denied a request from Martin Shkreli — the former pharmaceutical executive widely disdained as "pharma bro" — to be released from prison so he can work on a coronavirus treatment.

In her ruling Saturday, U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto sided with probation officials who described Shkreli's stated aim of developing a coronavirus cure as the type of "delusional self-aggrandizing behavior" that got him his sentence in the first place.

Since he's a con man, maybe he's really trying to get another con man who has "delusional self-aggrandizing behavior" to pardon him so that he can produce a magic cure.

Too F'ing bad. I have no sympathy for him.
He is the lowest of the low.

Don't worry, he has no interest in actually doing anything in the "Covid mix" other than trying to get out of prison due to it.
