Martin Shkreli Allegedly Tried Bribing His Ex-Girlfriend $10,000 For Sexual Favors

September 27, 2015

New details about Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli’s history have emerged, and they don’t help his already tattered image.

An email correspondence in which Shkreli offers $10,000 in exchange for oral sex from his ex-girlfriend was made public last week.

The ex-girlfriend, who identifies herself as Katie, wrote on her blog on Tuesday:

“Freshman year of college I dated Martin Shkreli: unrepentant capitalist, quoter of Eminem lyrics, embodiment of douchebaggery.

“[…] In April 2008, a full 5-years after we had broken up, he sent me a facebook message alleging, ‘95% of the time i get off i’m thinking about you.’ ‘ick,’ I responded. And it didn’t end there and then.”

The woman also included screenshots of the messages Shkreli sent from his work account at Elea Capital Management, a hedge fund he managed in the past.

Responding to Shkreli told Business Insider the “context” of the conversation are missing
