A federal jury found notorious "Pharma bro" Martin Shkreli guilty of multiple criminal charges Friday.

Shkreli, 34, was convicted of some of the eight criminal counts that he had faced, which had included securities fraud and conspiracy to commit both securities fraud and wire fraud, after a more-than-month-long trial in Brooklyn, New York, federal court.

Of the eight counts, Shkreli was found guilty of three. Those included conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and two counts of securities fraud. He was found not guilty of five counts, including those related to wire fraud.

He faces years in prison when he is sentenced.

He actually "won" see, cuz he was found not guilty on 5 out of the 8 charges. Prison is a delightful vacay... hope he enjoys it.

He wants people to die so he can get rich. That cannot be described as anything but evil.

He's far from unique. There are thousands of evil people just like him getting rich by withholding life saving treatment from people who die because they can't afford them.

There is nothing that can happen to this scum that would be too severe.

And not 'club fed'. But he probably will get the kid glove treatment as a member of the oligarchy.
