How does that work in prison?
The same way if works everywhere else. Are you under the silly impression that prisons are drug-free zones?

The fraud that is causing him to be in jail.He is and I'll admit to not knowing a whole lot about the situation, but being a capitalist is illegal now? He's on the next episode of American Greed, can't wait to see it.
How did he come up with enough money to buy said drugs he raise 5000% in price?
So wait, he took his own profits to pay off people from a failed venture?
According to the court Shkreli is responsible for more than $10 million in losses. 1 year per million dollars you cost people sounds more than fair to me.

Eventually paying people back after they become suspicious that you are defrauding them is no defense at all.
It should. If people don't have to obey the courts then we're all screwed.
Why? What does that accomplish? Vengeance? Is that how we want to do things?
Yeah, I didn't mean to defend him but rereading my earlier post it seems like I did. I don't deny that what he did was wrong, illegal, and he should go to jail for it.
And this is not directed at you, but no, he should not be sexually assaulted there.
I don't see much moral legitimacy in our courts anymore, that's my only point.

I should have phrased it this way:
He took some of his investors' returns from a successful venture and gave it to investors of an earlier failed venture.
That's not the whole story though either. The reason he did that was because he had defrauded those original investors.
As an extremely rough analogy, it's like if I stole money from you, then I hit the lottery in an office pool, I lied to the pool about how much money they were each entitled to, and took a piece of what should have been theirs to restore the money I originally stole. And as @fskimospy pointed out, did that not out of a warped sense of fairness, but only so that you wouldn't notice the money was gone.
It's still more complicated than that though, since the only reason the second set of investors invested with him was because of the original fraud.
Why? What does that accomplish? Vengeance? Is that how we want to do things?
Yeah, that is fucked up and regardless if the investors technically didn't lose anything because they got their initial investment back they were still stolen from.
Brooklyn Federal Judge Kiyo Matsumoto said he must give up his one-of-a-kind Wu Tang album, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," for which Shkreli reportedly paid $2 million.
In addition to the album, Matsumoto also ordered him to give up a Picasso painting, an album called "The Carter V" by Lil Wayne, and $5 million he posted for bail.
How does that work in prison?
And a crooked guard, of which there are plenty.Well, it all starts with an asshole...
They haven't decided which prison he'll go to. Will it be a Club Fed or a FPMITA prison? The Federal Bureau of Prisons gets to choose.
Greed, prison dick or both are just too much for him.He wants out so he can help fight Da Corona
I say nope, he has shown he can’t be trusted, he has no significant skills to assist
D-E-T-E-N-T-I-O-N!!Looks like they are sticking him in a big concrete box known as the Metropolitan Detension Center Brooklyn for the next 4 months. He'll probably be there awaiting sentancing for longer than he will be in Club Fed after the sentencing.
He'll probably meet The Penguin inside there, and become a super-villain before next year.

Trump will pardon him !1 Then Trump will make him his Press Secretary...Trump can't pardon him until he is officially sentenced, I suspect. He is Trump's "kind of people", a scumbag.
my role model.High IQ, low EQ, soul like a rotten banana peal.
Did we ever find out if he went to Club Fed or not?
