Former pharmaceuticals company CEO Martin Shkreli (SHKREL'-ee) has had his bail revoked and is going to jail in New York while he awaits sentencing for a securities fraud conviction.

A judge at a Wednesday hearing sided with a government demand to jail Shkreli following his provocative online antics.

Shkreli's defense argued in court papers filed Tuesday his recent offer to pay a $5,000 bounty for a Hillary Clinton hair with the follicle falls under the category of "political satire or strained humor." The government calls the comments threats worthy of revoking the bail of the so-called Pharma Bro.

Shkreli is best known for hiking up the price of a life-saving drug and for trolling his critics online. He has said he feels "exonerated" despite his conviction.

5. YIPPIE! I hope he gets along with his new jail bros.

I am sure they will be wiping that smug smirk off of his pretty lips soon enough. Maybe he can start getting cells ready for the "younger" group of criminals who hopefully will be joining him soon (Don Jr, Jared, and Flynn Jr) Do they serve pizza in jail? Flynn Jr wants a slice with everything.
