5 Reasons Why I Follow Martin Shkreli on Twitter

Martin Shkreli, CEO of Turing Pharmaceutical, has been called "the most hated man on the Internet" after he raised the price of a generic AIDS and cancer drug by exploiting a few FDA loopholes (see here).

Despite that, there are at least 5 reasons why I chose to follow him on Twitter.

#1: He Has a REAL Enigma Machine!
I always wanted one of these and I'm jealous that Mr. Shkreli has one. What pharma CEO would also not like to have an Enigma machine?

But the real Enigma is Shkreli himself! He recently tweeted: "New Enigma machine for our office. Perhaps it will help us crack the code in drug development."

Code? What code? We don' need no stinking' code! Unless the "code" is buy a cheap generic drug and exploit loopholes to jack up the price.

He tweeted the photo shown here as proof that he has the machine as well as some other junk he may or may not be using to help crack the drug development "code."

That's just a "wow" reason. Here are some other more important reasons why I chose to follow Shkreli on Twitter.
