Is it merely a coincidence or was something bigger at play. I also checked to see if the ad appeared again at any stage in 2020. No, it did not.

Time for a bit of housekeeping. I\u2019ve collated all my\U0001f9f5and put them in one place to make them easier to find. Lots of\U0001f407\U0001f573\ufe0f to go down. Download links\U0001f447for each\U0001f9f5in a word document as well if you want to circulate. Enjoy

Reading this article, the story sounds pretty wild. But I spent a weird amount of time with Martin Shkreli, and I’m not surprised the journalist fell in love w him
A few years back my team built an app called Blab. It was like clubhouse before clubhouse.
When he first joined the app I had no idea who he was. I just saw that his live streams instantly had 3-4K viewers. More than anyone on our tiny platform.
I googled him and it came up: “Martin Shkreli, most hated man in America”
I assumed he was bad news
And he was... but also he wasn’t.
He was a douchebag, but he was in on the joke. He was a dick, but he was also very entertaining.
In the mornings he would live stream himself analyzing stocks or walking through drug discovery pathways.
In the afternoon he’d let people call in and debate him live on air. A CNN reporter tried to get him to go on TV, he refused, and said debate me here on Blab, no edits, no tv time limits.
At night he’d host late night convos - and eventually fall asleep on cam
The guy was a pain in the ass but man he drove traffic.
We had big celebs like Tony Robbins, the Jonas brothers etc... he outperformed them all.
At one point he was bringing in 100k users per month directly to his channel. And Bc he was so entertaining, they stuck.

Christie Smythe covered white-collar crime for Bloomberg News and lived "the perfect little Brooklyn life" with her husband. Then she threw it all away for one of her sources: infamous pharma bro Martin Shkreli. https://t.co/Xk0zXmYkgF
