New lawyer silences bad-boy ex-pharma CEO Martin Shkreli
Bad-boy ex-pharmaceutical company CEO and prolific social media user Martin Shkreli has been muzzled.
A new lawyer in a federal securities fraud case against Shkreli told reporters outside court on Wednesday that his client would stop speaking out in his own defense until the charges are resolved.
“We want to try this case in the courtroom and not in the media,” defense attorney Benjamin Brafman said with a silent Shkreli at his side following a pretrial hearing in Brooklyn.
