Mr. Shkreli is a curious mix of blue-collar-boy-made-good and attention seeker — particularly when that attention is negative. Derisively called the “pharma bro” on social media, Mr. Shkreli now uses PharmaBroMS as his handle in the online game League of Legends. In fact, Mr. Brafman said, Mr. Shkreli never did defraud them, as the investors ultimately got their money back. Mr. Shkreli told federal authorities he was worth $70 million after he was arrested, a prosecutor, Alixandra Smith, said at Monday’s hearing. Ms. Smith argued against a bail reduction, pointing to recent articles and statements from Mr. Shkreli about his free spending.
