​ Shkreli arrested after putting a bounty on Hillary Clinton’s hair

NEW YORK: A US judge revoked the former pharmaceutical executive’s bail on Wednesday, ordering him jailed immediately, over a bounty Shkreli issued in a Facebook post for a strand of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s hair.

“The fact that he continues to remain unaware of the inappropriateness of his actions or words demonstrates that he may well be an ongoing danger or risk to the community,” US District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto said.

Shkreli was stone-faced as the judge handed down her decision. He was immediately taken into custody and led away from the courtroom by two deputy US Marshals and into a prisoner holding cell adjacent to the sixth-floor courtroom.

Shkreli, 34, was convicted last month of three of eight charges, including two counts of securities fraud. He was acquitted of fraud charges related to the alleged looting of the drug company he founded, Retrophin Inc.
