After five years in prison for a Ponzi scheme and a lifetime ban from the pharmaceutical industry, Martin Shkreli announces his new venture: a web3 drug discovery platform
It's no big surprise that Shkreli has jumped into the crypto industry. Within hours of his release, he was tweeting, and soon began joining crypto Twitter Spaces where he spoke about using a contraband phone while in prison to access the Uniswap crypto exchange.
Perhaps while in prison he forgot how press release wire services work. (Also it's "Benzinga")
The bounce back up to around $0.97 after the huge dip just now (visible in the 1-day chart) seems to coincide with Do Kwon tweeting "Deploying more capital - steady lads", but didn't succeed in bringing UST back to peg.
A few more NFTs have trickled in as a few more people were scammed. Meanwhile the scammer has also started to flip the NFTs on LooksRare, so far selling 23 NFTs there for a total of 800 ETH ($2.4 million).
They've offloaded the priciest ones, but my initial estimate was also a bit low.
