Martin Shkreli, a convicted financial fraudster, is facing backlash after leaking direct messages that show him harassing minors. The 41-year-old internet troll attempted to rehabilitate his reputation by launching a memecoin, which involved teenagers. The situation escalated as one of the individuals harassed by Shkreli reportedly has access to Secret Service detail. The crypto community has widely condemned Shkreli's actions, with some predicting legal consequences. Shkreli's doxxing of harassing messages has been described as embarrassing. The term 'Retardio' has been used to describe his memecoin. CryptoTwitter has also reacted strongly to the incident.
