Then, Mr. Shkreli began pressuring Mr. Pierotti to sell the shares back to him, Mr. Pierotti testified. Mr. Shkreli phoned Mr. Pierotti “screaming” to demand the shares, then emailed saying he was suing, according to Mr. Pierotti’s testimony and court records. Then, Mr. Shkreli wrote the letter to Mr. Pierotti’s wife. “No,” Mr. Pierotti said, adding that he thought the information was not “material.”Mr. Agnifilo pointed out that Mr. Pierotti traded a half a million dollars on that deal.
