“Shkreli’s latest threat is concerning not only because it has required a significant expenditure of resources by the United States Secret Service, which is charged with protecting Secretary Clinton,” the motion says, “but also because there is a significant risk that one of his many social media followers or others who learn of his offers through the media will take his statements seriously — as has happened previously — and act on them.” 
 
 Shkreli drew the ire of the nation in a separate matter, when as a pharmaceutical CEO he raised the price of the drug Daraprim from $13.50 per dose to $750. U.S. District Court Judge Kiyo Matsumoto, who presided over the trial that ended with Shkreli convicted on three securities fraud-related counts of the eight criminal charges against him, ordered Shkreli's defense team to file a response to the government motion by Tuesday. Thursday night, after the motion was filed, Shkreli was back at it on Facebook, saying his initial post was “just a prank, bro!” 
 
 Clearly, he thinks the government is lacking a sense of humor. While Shkreli may be laughing now, he is facing as much as 20 years in prison for his crimes. The notorious “pharma bro” who was recently convicted on three counts of fraud in connection with hedge funds, was released on $5 million bail, but his behavior since then has led to the Justice Department pushing for him to be locked up ASAP. Earlier this week, Shkreli said in Facebook post (which he has since deleted), “On HRC’s book tour, try to grab a hair from her,” adding “Will pay $5,000 per hair obtained from Hillary Clinton.” He later claimed it was a form of satire, but it was enough for the DOJ to file a motion on Thursday arguing that Shkreli is a danger to society and his bail should be revoked.
– Martin Shkreli's lawyer may think his client is "brilliant beyond words," but the convicted pharmaceutical exec's latest move on social media wasn't exactly a genius one. Per LawNews, the Justice Department filed a motion Thursday to revoke Shkreli's $5 million bail after a now-deleted Facebook post he made earlier this week made weirdly threatening comments directed toward Hillary Clinton. "On HRC's book tour, try to grab a hair from her," he wrote, adding he'd compensate anyone who did so for their efforts: "Will pay $5,000 per hair obtained from Hillary Clinton." The DOJ says his remarks show he's a "danger to the community," per USA Today. The motion notes that a "significant expenditure of resources" now has to be put out by the Secret Service staff tasked with protecting Clinton (she's afforded such protection as a former first lady). Shkreli tried to defuse the situation by posting, "It was just a prank, bro!" on Facebook Thursday evening, followed by an expletive-tinged rant against the "government" and a dare to "come at me with you hardest because I haven't seen anything impressive yet." Shkreli's attorneys need to file a response to the DOJ motion by Tuesday; a Thursday hearing will follow. (It may be hard for him to concentrate on his eBay auction with all of this going on.)
