NEW: Martin Shkreli's request to be freed from prison for three months to research a coronavirus cure was blasted by federal prosecutors as the 'same kind of delusional self-aggrandizing behavior' that got him a lengthy sentence in the first place.
Martin Shkreli broke down at his sentencing today, sobbing as he begged a New York court for"your honor's mercy."cure was blasted by federal prosecutors as the"same kind of delusional self-aggrandizing behavior" that got him a lengthy sentence in the first place.
Matsumoto is the same Brooklyn judge who sentenced Shkreli in 2018 to 84 months in prison and made him forfeit more than $7 million after a jury found him guilty of securities fraud. At the time of Shkreli's sentencing, Matsumoto said the former drug company CEO had minimized his criminal conduct and engaged in an"egregious multitude of lies."
"I have always said that if focused and left in a lab, Martin could help cure cancer," Brafman said in a statement released earlier this month."Maybe he can help the scientific community better understand this terrible virus." In the proposal he wrote from the low-security Allenwood Low Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania, Shkreli described himself as a"successful two-time biopharma entrepreneur, having purchased multiple companies, invented multiple new drug candidates."
