Watch: Martin Shkreli Gets Call From 'Special Agent' During Live Stream

The night before his Midtown Manhattan apartment was raided by the FBI, Brooklyn-born Big Pharma bro Martin Shkreli was, as on most nights, recording a live stream of himself futzing around his apartment while chatting with “fans” online.

And, as on most nights, this bizarre and narcissistic routine dragged on for upward of three hours.

In contrast to all those other nights, though, something truly watchable — historic, even — occurred in the course of Shkreli’s one-man show, somewhere around the halfway mark.

Above, at 1:22:14, watch as Shkreli takes a call from someone claiming to be a “special agent” — then immediately cancels the call, his eyes full of dread, his fingers tightening their grip on his greasy mane, his face somehow turning two grades clammier and pastier than in its resting state.

It’s unclear whether the Wednesday-night caller was indeed an FBI agent, or just some prankster with a very FBI agent-like tone and an uncanny premonition.

We’ve reached out to FBI officials to see if they’ve got any record of such a call being made. But either way, Shkreli has unwittingly bestowed upon his countrymen the ultimate parting gift: a Vine-able, six-second gotcha moment in which the Most Hated Man in America realizes, or at least contemplates for an instant, that his jig may be up.
