Disgraced CEO Martin Shkreli Will Let You Punch Him in the Face
Martin Shkreli, the former pharmaceutical CEO who angered the world when he raised the price of an HIV medication by a shocking amount, is auctioning off the chance to punch him in the face.
The 33-year-old businessman is trying to raise money to support the young son of a friend who passed away.
Martin is letting people send him direct messages on Twitter to bid on the chance to punch or slap him in the face. He claims to have a bid as high as $78,000 already.
Some people online are even thinking about starting a crowdfund page to have a professional boxer do the honors as Martin says the winner can pick someone else to deliver the punch.
