SKETCHES OF COURT: Martin Shkreli at jury selection before fraud trial
‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli arrived at Brooklyn Federal Court Monday for jury deliberations in his fraud trial.
Shkreli is accused of lying about hedge fund MSMB Capital Management’s finances to entice investors, while hiding trading losses from them. He allegedly paid the investors back with stolen money from his company Retrophin, which he founded in 2011.
While the events are unrelated, he was put into the public scope after raising the price of a life-saving drug 5,000 percent.
