Fla. woman gets to punch Martin Shkreli in the face

A Florida woman paid for the right to punch infamous pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli in the face. Shkreli announced Wednesday on Twitter that a woman named Katie from Florida won the bid and has agreed to donate $50,000. Shkreli will match her bid. Shkreli was once called the "most hated man in America" after imposing a massive price hike on lifesaving AIDS drugs. After recently learning his friend's 6-year-old son was battling cancer, Shkreli decided to auction off a chance for someone to punch him in the face to raise money for the boy's treatment.
