‘Pharma Bro’ declares victory despite guilty verdict

A smug-looking Martin Shkreli tried to take a bizarre victory lap Friday — moments after he was convicted of securities fraud in an alle🤡ged $11 million Ponzi-style sche⛄me.

Shkreli was all smiles outside Brooklyn federaജl court, despite facing up to 20 years on charges that he li💮ed to investors and attempted to manipulate the price of Retrophin shares on the stock market.

“All of this was a witch hunt of epic proportions. Maybe they found a few broomsticks,” Shkreli told a throng of reporters. “We fought back, and we feel like we’ve won.”

Jurors took four and a half days to find Shkreli guilty on three of eight counts against him. He was acquitted of five charges — conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

His lawyer Ben Brafman said h♌e was thril💦led by the verdict.

“I think this verdict is a reasonably good verdict under the circumstances,” Brafman said. “We’re not 100 percent pleased, but we’re 90 percent pleased.”

Brafman said Shkreli’s future plans include finding and developing drugs “for the treatment of rare diseases” — and noted that he’d also be working on his “image problem.”
