Disclaimer: I'm a huge fan of Shkreli. Great guy, excellent financial instincts, pharma wizard etc.
I'm surprised he didn't get assassinated for some of that stuff with Wu-Tang, especially in NY. I know I've been waiting a new full-featured Wu-tang album for a LOOOONG time, and I know a lot of new yorkers were too. Multiply that anger by several million people and media deception, it shocks me that he's still around.
The lesson I've learned about all this is the value in nobody knowing your name. Shkreli was fucked over HARD by the media, he's really just a cool guy playing the game, and they spin him as this terrible evil mastermind.
He used to stream all the time, you couldn't watch him for more than five minutes before falling in love with him. He's a man of the people in the truest sense. More than anyone I've ever met.
This should be a lesson for him. To random people on the internet fascinated by his trolling then he would appear cool.
When you go in front of congress(in the real world) and act the same way you dont appear as charming.
I don't follow Shkreli closely but him sexually harassing journalist Lauren Duca (he still continues to do this: "when I'm acquitted, I'm going to fuck Lauren Duca") makes him very much not a "man of the people in the truest sense".

I hope he finds a way through all this.
