NEW YORK — A federal judge on Friday sentenced
Martin Shkreli, the notorious former hedge fund manager, to seven years
in prison for defrauding his investors of $10 million.
In
imposing the sentence, U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto roughly
split the difference between the 15 years prosecutors asked for and the
up to 18 months sought by Shkreli’s defense team. Shkreli, 34, who
delivered a tearful speech to Matsumoto apologizing for his conduct and
pleading for leniency, did not react to the sentence.
