"NEW YORK (AP) — Martin Shkreli, the former hedge fund manager and
pharmaceutical-company CEO vilified for jacking up the price of a
lifesaving drug more than fiftyfold, was arrested Thursday on securities
fraud charges unrelated to the furor.
The
boyish-looking 32-year-old entrepreneur — a relentlessly self-promoting
figure who has called himself "the world's most eligible bachelor" on
Twitter and recently plunged into the hip-hop world by buying an
unreleased album by the Wu-Tang Clan — was taken into custody in a gray
hoodie and pleaded not guilty in federal court in Brooklyn. A judge set
bail at $5 million.
Online,
many people were gleeful over in his arrest, some of them joking about a
judge ratcheting up his bail or lawyers jacking up their hourly fees
5,000 percent for defending him in his hour of need."
