‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli convicted in fraud trial

“The Most Hated Man in America” just got a little more reviled.

A Manhattan jury found notorious “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli guilty Friday of defrauding investors in what prosecutors described as an $11 million Ponzi scheme.

The jury of seven women and five men took about four and a half days to return the verdict, finding him guilty of three of the eight counts against him: two counts of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

Each of the first two counts carries a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years. The conspiracy to commit securities fraud charge carries a prison term of up to five years.

Prosecutors in Brooklyn federal court mounted an exhaustive five-week case against the 34-year-old former drug-company CEO, accusing him of draining funds from his firm Retrophin to pay off investors of his failed hedge funds,MSMB Capital Management and MSMB Healthcare.

Maserati’s 2018 GranTurismo Coupe and Convertible Impress in Italy

The booming and growling V-8 engine broke the forest stillness, but inside the cockpit of this 2018 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, I was listening with care to the driving coach seated alongside me. “Lift off the gas,” he said. “Now full power. Hard braking ahead. Now turn right.”

To demonstrate the car’s prowess, Maserati had arranged the closing of a stretch of SP40, a narrow, writhing section of mountainside byway. If ever the chassis would reveal deficiencies, any flexing or shuddering, it would be on this frost-heaved segment. But the open-top trident—which benefits from revised, more aerodynamic styling touches—was as steady as the men sipping grappa back at Pub la Forcella, the starting point.

Pulling up to the finish line at Restaurant des Alpes, I asked how the 2.3 miles could have gone by so quickly. “You were going more than 90 miles per hour,” my coach said.

Matthew McConaughey's Stephen King movie 'The Dark Tower' is getting shredded by critics

It took a decade for "The Dark Tower" to make it to the screen, but maybe it would have been best for everyone if it took a little longer.

The movie is based on Stephen King's book series of the same name. It's a fantasy epic where Idris Elba plays the gunslinger, a sort of magical diplomat-warrior trying to build peace in the universe, and Matthew McConaughey plays The Man in Black, who's an evil sorcerer. It's pretty wild.

A screen adaptation of the eight-book series has been planned in various incarnations. In 2007, J. J. Abrams wanted to adapt it, but backed out after three years when his option on the books ran out. Then Ron Howard picked it up, trying to make an ambitious spectacle that would include three movies and two TV series bridging them, but had trouble finding the financing.

HR McMaster: Kim Jong Un 'should not be' sleeping easily at night

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster warned North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un should not be sleeping easily at night and said the evolving situation with the North Koreans constitutes a "grave threat" to the U.S.

McMaster made the remark in an interview Wednesday and emphasized that Kim has become increasingly isolated on the world stage.

"No, I think he should not be," McMaster said after MSNBC's Hugh Hewitt asked if Kim should be "sleeping easily at night."

"Because he has the whole world against him, right? He's isolated. He's isolated on this. Since 1953 the Korean peninsula has been in a state of armistice. The war never formally ended and there's been no aggression, no aggression from the United States, South Korea, any of our allies."
