Known For
"Pharma Bro" who came out of prison and immediately immersed himself in meme coin and Milady culture
Martin Shkreli became America's most hated man in 2015 after raising the price of a lifesaving drug by 5,000% as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals. He was convicted of securities fraud in 2017 and sentenced to seven years. When he was released in 2022, he immediately dove into crypto culture — setting a Milady as his Twitter profile picture, engaging with CT's degen subculture, and launching various crypto projects. He reportedly helped create the DJT token, which ZachXBT exposed. Shkreli represents a specific phenomenon in crypto: infamous public figures finding a second life in the space because CT's culture of irony and anti-establishment sentiment treats notoriety as a feature, not a bug. His embrace of Milady culture specifically showed how deep the Remilia ecosystem had penetrated mainstream internet infamy.
