Shkreli was released from prison in May after serving four and a half years out of a seven-year prison sentence for securities fraud.
Known as “Pharma Bro,” Shkreli is now giving out investment advice on cryptocurrencies.
Last month, Shkreli’s token associated with his new Web3 project tanked over 90%. He blamed the slump on a hack.
Shkreli was permanently barred from serving as a public company officer or director after he was convicted of securities fraud.
Shkreli raised the price of anti-infection drug Daraprim by 5000 per cent in 2015 as chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals.
Shkreli’s erratic behavior, including during his 2017 trial, got him banned from Twitter after he harassed a female reporter online.
The Pharma Bro is once again building his online presence as an investment guru.
