Neither a lack of a history of violence nor the First Amendment could prevent former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli, who put up a $5,000 bounty for a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair, from getting jailed on Wednesday evening after a federal judge revoked his bail.
U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto of the Eastern District of New York said the fact that Shkreli, who awaits sentencing on three felony counts, presented the bounty to the more than 94,000 people who follow his Facebook page and that he did not clarify that he meant it as satire until hours later shows that he is a “danger to the community.”
