“Pharma bro” Martin Shkreli isn’t letting his long stint in a New Jersey federal prison slow him down any — using a contraband cellphone to tweet, publish a self-congratulatory blog, and even run his notorious, price-gouging drug company, according to a new report.
Shkreli continues to run his pharmaceutical company, Phoenixus AG, from his 12-person prison cell in Fort Dix, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Shkreli is using his cellphone — and prison computers — for pleasure as well as business, the paper said, the latter of which could land him in further hot water with the feds. He’s also keeping up a personal blog, the paper wrote, in which he compared himself to Elon Musk and quipped about the justice system.
His nickname among his new pals in lockup — who include “Krispy” and “D-Block” — is “A–hole,” one insider told the paper.
