Nomad to crypto thieves: Please give us back 90%, keep 10% as a reward. Deal?

‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli’s Crypto Token Plunges After Massive Sale

Infamous investor recently launched a digital currency that saw its value plummet on Friday.

Martin Shkreli Inu, a token worth fractions of a penny that was launched by the notorious “Pharma Bro” last month, plunged more than 90% at one point Friday, Binance data shows. The drop came after an unidentified wallet that appears to belong to Shkreli sold a massive stake in the coin.

That didn’t take long. I’m sure he’ll be back for another cycle as long as the fish keep biting.
