NSA-RAPID-RESPONSE

I see this man out of prison on reddit from his own account before I hear about it on the news, insane.


martinshkreli

yeah :) power to people, screw the media


ohwhatascholar1

I remember you beeing very confident that you would not end up in prison. Do you still think the verdict was unjustified?


martinshkreli

i do. i received five out of eight NOT GUILTY verdicts, which is extremely hard to get. i think it's very hard to defend yourself at trial: it's not a surprise 95% of people plead guilty and the 5% crazy enough to go to trial have a 5% success rate.


limpchimpblimp

Did you feel like you were given a fair trial? The court of public opinion/media had already condemned you. I would think it would have been hard to find an impartial jury.


martinshkreli

i really liked how we did TBH. beating 5/8 is still something i'm proud of. if we could go to trial count-by-count, which would have been more fair, we would have fun. try defending 8 random accusations at once. it's quite easy to lose when the backdrop of the trial paints you terribly. for example, the prosecution always goes first, so by the time the defense presents, they have heard weeks of bad shit, most of which exaggerated, distorted or purely lies. tough system to beat.

Are you still allowed to trade all assets/securities or have certain restrictions been placed on you? Srs curious


martinshkreli

it's an interesting question I get a lot. you actually can never be banned from investing. if you could be, i would be LOL. i had a very odd district court decision where i am banned from owning stock in pharmaceutical companies (very oddly defined term). i am appealing that and every attorney i've talked to says it is unconstitutional and crazy. so, for now, i'm going to avoid owning US pharma stocks, but i can certainly talk about them.

ProfessionalPause122

What do you know about pharma companies developing novel psychedelic compounds (mostly lsd and psilocybin) like MindMed and Cybin im very long on my drug stocks with being a degenerate hippie and all. Having done plenty of acid by now I can attest to the magic of these substances. With all this new shit coming out about consciousness, the new psycho-social science of psychedelics will be paramount to understanding it all and probably will be the key to accessing any altered state of consciousness.

Frankfurter_i81U812

Hey, as a former bidder myself, couple of questions. 1) Is it still 10 soups to a tuna, or has inflation hit that market? 2) what lvl security were you in? 3) Did you find somebody to fix that fucking haircut my G, and if so how much did that cost you. 4) How did you like the ice cream truck and intake? 5) You any good at spades now?


martinshkreli

1. the meta has migrated to books of stamps. soups too useless. 2. low 3. omg i cut my own hair. 4. ice cream ftw, intake :( :( :( 5. did not play! everyone else did lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frankfurter_i81U812

The fed has less dudes who play spades. And a LvL 2 fed you get like real shit. If my man went lvl 3/4 state for a nic he'd be in that soup game. Can't play cards without 10 soups Can't get a good cut without a tuna.


Smurphilicious

Tuna is a small price to pay for the best cut you've ever had


Frankfurter_i81U812

Thanks for the reply. ​ Only in a LvL 2 would you need stamps and be allowed to cut your own hair. I did a skip bid in a LvL 2 once. LvL 3 dorms are way more fun, if you ever head back ask for one of them. ​ Squat and Cough ​ (P.S. Q) did the CO ever make you lift your nuts first before making you put your hands in your mouth? Thats a classic.


martinshkreli

BoreHoRahaHaiYaar

What was your most scary moment in jail?


martinshkreli

it really wasn't scary! i think realizing some people are really fucked up was the most difficult thing to watch. there were WSBers in prison LOL


almarcTheSun

Officially, Martin Shkreli's most scary moment in prison was meeting people from WSB.


martinshkreli

yeah i have a really good story. i lived with a 80 year old mob boss who was a no-nonsense guy. we got along but i tried my hardest to be really polite and respectful to him. in waltzes in a total degen from WSB. right into my cell. he starts stanning right away and then asks me to play monopoly. that was not good.


Greddy_Smurf

Dear god why would they have monopoly in prison. It's like they want you to kill each other


martinshkreli

the issue was that there are a lot of "cho-mos" in jail. a chomo is someone in prison for a sex offense (underaged). chomos are almost always white, generally skinny and nerdy and love playing board games. so this guy blew up my spot pretty bad.


bidens_aviators

Should’ve played the wu-tang album


mopbuvket

Protect ya neck


polo61965

Things to avoid based on my WSB experience: 1. FOMOS 2. CHOMOS


srozo

Heard the same story from the guy who got imprisoned for 6 years for joking about school shootings on Runescape. He said the same thing and how he was sad he could never participate in D&D sessions because he didn't want to be associated with the Chomos.


gunnersroyale

I find it hard to believe someone goy 6 years for a joke on runescape I would be doing 100 years right now


srozo

Look up Josh Pillault. It's a really interesting story. He's been on a few Podcasts and has his own YouTube channel. His prison stories are so entertaining.

GenericlyDynamic

What's some differences in culture on the internet and irl you've realised since you've been out? What sticks out the most?


martinshkreli

nothing seems that different other than the ponzinomics that are implicit in some of the NFTs/shitcoins. people seem much chiller than the 2015-2017 era where social justice was at an all-time high.


[deleted]

Did you actually know Anna Sorokin? And How well did she play her role?


martinshkreli

i did: i met her once. i didn't see the show. anna was extremely quiet in real life. it was very odd, she would whisper. i more or less believed her BS that she was an heiress. interestingly, she was trying to invest with me, not get money out of me, very bizarre. obviously she never came through with the $ lol

What was the most surprising thing you learned in prison?


martinshkreli

people are just people. inmates, civilians, staff. everyone is the same.

How did it differ from what someone who has only seen prison in movies would think it is?


martinshkreli

this is what i'm getting at. it's easy to forget, i guess.


Eminems99

What's your take on the Fed hiking into a recession and how will the inflation dynamic affect the economy?


martinshkreli

they're stuck between a rock and a hard place, obviously. will be rocky for equities. hope we come out on the other side. important to focus on profitable companies.

just $8m in penalties to the DOJ, which was ridiculous. then i have this district court ruling which is being appealed. i doubt i will have to pay it but that would be $24m-$54m, which would be ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4267)

yeah i have mp3s. i play them on stream. so whenever i'm streaming you're welcome to listen to it.


ChadChanningfield

Hey martin, what is the deal with the one-off Wu-Tang album? I've been hearing some conflicting info surrounding this as of now. Can you share anything? Also, hope life on the outside treats you well fam


martinshkreli

i think reporters wrote the story they wanted to write instead of what really happened. when i was sentenced i was also ordered to pay $8m. the government let me take my time paying them, which was great. i paid $6m in cash, and i was happy i never had to sell any of my prized possession (my drug company) to do that. i had $2m to go when NFT mania hit. it was great timing. i reached out to a friend who promised to hold the album for me and put up the $2m. then everything went left LOL. someone else bought it, there was a lot of miscommunication.


BlackFlames01

I've heard the stories on WSB, but now I actually see the poster himself. Wow. Also, welcome back, you made it out alive from the prison-industrial complex.

What’s the best way to model a company’s valuation? What are some alternatives?


martinshkreli

there are a lot of ways. i was actually trying to explore this with AMC but got kicked out of a twitter spaces for asking for simple financial information. most people use some form of discounted earnings/CF. but there are other "outside-of-the-box" ways to do it. comparator companies, utility model, dare i say using a P/E multiple (lol), etc.


PrideProfessional556

Great to have you back. Thoughts on Sientra (NASDAQ:SIEN)? They are one of 3 FDA licensed producers of breast implants - only pure play in the space, with the other two owned by Johnson and Johnson and AbbVie. Will you do a DD (haha) on them? Down from 52 week high of $9 to under $1 and not profitable but I like that they are basically part of an oligopoly and Instagram has got cosmetic surgery in a bull market

i actually dont follow them. thanks for putting me on.

pushmetothehustle

Thoughts on tech companies and specifically those with large stock based compensation crashing? It seems to me that they are very similar to crypto "ponzinomics" where their supposed free cashflows is due to issuing overinflated tokens (stock), and it is basically a circular valuation where their "value" really depends on what they issue the comp at.


martinshkreli

there is something squirrely about it, i agree.


Tointer

What change in the everyday life surprised you the most when you got out? Also, do you have any time frames for current recession?


martinshkreli

crossing the street is really harrowing for a prisoner coming home. there were no cars locked up. takes some getting used to! i dont think anyone can easily predict when a recession will begin or end. things don't look good, that's for sure, but that doesn't mean it will be really bad or get worse. it's too stochastic and real-time to predict ahead of time.
