- Is also known for spending $2 million to buy the only copy of a Wu-Tang Clan album and saying he would destroy it unless Trump won
- Later released tracks from that album, but only in videos showing him with the album playing in the background
- Smirked his way through a congressional oversight hearing on drug prices
- Took the Fifth on everything, including a question about the Wu-Tang album
- Lawyers “struggled to seat an impartial jury” partly because he is so widely hated
- One potential juror was excused after saying “The only thing I would be impartial about is which prison he goes to”
- Another “mimicked wringing [his] neck“
- Another complained that Skreli “disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan”
- Another was excused after stating that Skreli “kind of looks like a dick“
- Was described during opening statements as “strange,” “weird,” “nuts,” “dysfunctional,” “aggravating,” and “not 100 percent accurate“
- And that was his own lawyer
More to come, most likely.
