A recent Wall Street Journal report claims he used a cellphone (not allowed in prison) to post to social media and even fire an executive.

Federal authorities said Friday they are investigating claims that Martin Shkreli has been running his pharmaceutical company from behind bars using a contraband smartphone.

The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Shkreli has used a cellphone to call the shots at his drug company, Phoenixus AG, posting regularly to social media and even firing the company's chief executive a few weeks ago. Shkreli, 35, is serving a seven-year sentence for securities fraud at the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix, New Jersey, a low-security prison complex about 40 miles from Philadelphia. He was found guilty of lying to investors in two failed hedge funds and cheating them out of millions.

Martin Shkreli Steers His Company From Prison—With Contraband CellphoneThe disgraced pharmaceutical executive dubbed “Pharma Bro” remains the shadow power at the drug company that became a national lightning rod for jacking up the prices of rare drugs. Having made friends including ‘Krispy’ and ‘D-Block,’ he’s plotting a comeback. And guess why prisons don't have jammers installed? It's because the powers that be WANT the inmates to have cellphones. Maybe they listen in. Maybe they research who calls/is being called. But shutting them all down, nope, that's not being done. BASED SHKRELI I kinda love the thought of Martin Shkreli carrying an iPhone XS Max in his “prison wallet”. 📱 🍑
