‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli having trouble completing community service, federal probation officials say

Infamous “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli, who was released from prison last year, is having trouble completing his court-mandated 20 hours a month of community service, according to a Tuesday court filing.

The 40-year-old fraudster — convicted in 2017 of cheating his hedge fund investors of millions — started his three years on supervised release in September, and now lives with his sister in Queens, according to a letter from his federal probation officer.
