Martin Shkreli's Trial Was Just As Bizarre As You Might Expect

“Make me some money, Marty.”

Martin Shkreli — best known as the “pharma bro” who jacked up the prices of a life-saving antiparasitic medication from $13.50 to $750 — is on trial for securities fraud in federal court in Brooklyn. On Thursday, attorneys presented closing arguments in his trial, which is expected to go to a jury today.

Here's what his day in court looked like.
