Martin Shkreli, the former Turing Pharmaceuticals executive who became known as "Pharma Bro" after he dramatically hiked the price of a drug, was suspended from Twitter on Sunday afternoon. A person at Twitter who is familiar with the matter but declined to be quoted directly confirmed that Shkreli's suspension was related to his harassment of journalist Lauren Duca.

Duca, a freelance journalist, recently wrote a viral op-ed for Teen Vogue titled "Donald Trump is gaslighting America." During a combative appearance on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show just before Christmas, Carlson told Duca that she should stick to writing about "thigh-high boots," and Duca told Carlson that he was "unprofessional" and a "partisan hack." The exchange resulted in her receiving thousands of angry messages, including a rape threat on Christmas Day.

A few days ago, Shkreli started trolling Duca on Twitter.

Sunday, Duca noticed that Shkreli had changed his Twitter profile picture to an image of her, in which Shkreli's face was photoshopped onto that of another man. "I have a small crush on @laurenduca," his Twitter bio read. "Hope she doesn't find out."

3. So he's an immature punk?

If he trolled my daughter like that...well I suppose it's likely I could never get near him, but if I did he certainly would be having an unpleasant rest of his life.

4. do we know for sure he isn't related to Trump ?

they are so much alike .

5. I keep expecting Twitter to suspend me for the shit I'm saying to Trump every day.

It is kind of hateful.

7. It's been confirmed he's still harassing her via Periscope

so he's still harassing her via a Twitter owned service.

This is some sexual stalker sh*t. If this continues, she should probably get a restraining order.

8. Shitkreli is almost certainly a money laundering front.

The face not only of craven profiteering, but of the gangster capitalism regime the economy has labored under over the last 15 years particularly.

9. Trump Is Always Harrassing Someone On Twitter....

when are they going to suspend Trump's Twitter account. It would be the patriotic thing for Twitter to do. And it would save a lot of embarrassment for both Trump & the Repug Party.

13. I report him all the time.

10. How long until Twitter is nationalized by Twitler?

And becomes the official propaganda outlet for the regime?

[Hekate]

11. Now there's a thought

Eww

12. I watched her interview by Tucker Carlson.

It was apparent that he had her on to make fun of her due to her negative story on Trumpo. She more than held her own and made him look like the "Partisan Hack" that he is! She is a force of nature!

14. lol. n/t

[PatSeg]

15. What a damn sicko

There is something seriously wrong with that little turd.

18. Shkreli is a vile vindictive man-child just like Trump.
