Mar­tin Shkre­li may be spend­ing his days chill­ing in a fed­er­al prison in Brook­lyn, but he’s not get­ting his $5 mil­lion in bail mon­ey back any­time soon.

Shkre­li’s at­tor­ney Ben Braf­man pe­ti­tioned the judge in his case to get the bail mon­ey re­turned, say­ing that it would go to a firm charged with pay­ing off a grow­ing tax debt. Af­ter all, he told the court, Shkre­li isn’t go­ing any­where. But Judge Kiyo Mat­sumo­to waved it off.
