The Fort Dix re­demp­tion: Mar­tin Shkre­li’s con­tra­band cell phones, new biotech schemes and fresh so­cial me­dia in­famy

Mar­tin Shkre­li is not your av­er­age oc­cu­pant of a fed­er­al prison cell.

He us­es a con­tra­band cell phone to man­age his busi­ness, the same one that made him no­to­ri­ous as a price gouger who gamed the phar­ma sys­tem by buy­ing an old, cheap drug and jack­ing up the price at an as­tro­nom­i­cal rate.

He whiles away his time read­ing about drugs and drug de­vel­op­ment, ac­cord­ing to an amaz­ing­ly in-depth fea­ture from the Wall Street Jour­nal, which gets right down to nam­ing some close friends who help pro­tect him in the yard of the low-se­cu­ri­ty Fort Dix pen. And there’s free time to main­tain a blog, jump on to Twit­ter and ridicule var­i­ous peo­ple, which was al­ways his fa­vorite hob­by.
