Martin Shkreli’s story could be so easy. Genius kid hustles his way out of Brooklyn and for a brief moment in time becomes the world’s most notorious hedge fund manager. Screws up and gets sentenced to 7 years in prison and 10s of millions of penalties. Finally gets released in 2022, learned his lessons and proceeds to live a normal life as a functioning member of society.
But Martin Shkreli is not normal – and this might only be his origin story, the hero arc is just about to begin.
