The infamous “Pharma-villain” who purchased Wu-Tang’s infamous Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album for $2 million USD and then streamed it after Trump won the presidency has now been banned from Twitter. This news follows a period of alleged harassment against freelance editor Lauren Duca — the ordeal first began when Shkreli slid into her DMs inviting her to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration when she replied “I would rather eat my own organs.” From there, Shkreli would change his profile image to a Photoshopped image of Duca and himself, Photoshopping his own face over her husband’s. He also created a collage from her photos and used it as a new banner image with an updated bio reading “also I have a small crush on @laurenduca (hope she doesn’t find out).”

Martin Shkreli’s Twitter account was taken down on Sunday evening and there’s no telling if he’ll make a return to the social media platform but one thing’s for sure, Ghostface won’t be missing him.
