Pharma Bro begs for 'mercy' from judge ahead of sentencing

A sniveling Martin Shkreli promised to make a federal judge “proud” in the years to come as he begged for mercy ahead of his sentencing, according to a new court filing.

In a letter to Brooklyn federal court Judge Kiyo Matsumoto, Shkreli owned up to duping investors in his failed hedge funds MSMB Capital Management and MSMB Healthcare and waxed poetic about spending the last five months in prison.

“I understand it, I am very far from blameless,” he wrote ahead of the March 9 sentencing. “I caused this entire mess to happen. I lost the trust of my investors who now have questioned my motives and integrity. This is a painful realization that I will never forget.”

Matsumoto tossed Shkreli behind bars in September for putting a $5,000 bounty on Hillary Clinton’s hair. He called his experience while locked up “the most frightening experience in my life but also an opportunity for me to see a side of the world seldom seen or discussed.”

If that little pisher gets probation, I will have completely lost faith in the American justice system.
