In a shocking turn of events, Martin Shrkeli his infamy for a...good cause. The reviled former pharmaceutical CEO is auctioning off a chance to sock him in the face to benefit a friend of his who tragically passed away from cancer.

I will auction one slap/punch in the face to benefit my friend Mike who passed away & leaves behind a young son who survived cancer. DM bids

Shkreli revealed that said-friend was one of the people who orchestrated his past media stunts, and that he will not only match whatever donation one gives ("to a certain point"), but will allow you to video it, and post it on social media.





I'll match donation to a certain point. You may video the slap/punch. Mike architected my publicity stunts & I bet he is watching, smiling. https://t.co/kqnvQtJ10T

He's since given us an update to the donations, which are, as expected, very high:

So far the two highest bidders to punch or slap me in the face are for $78,000 and $25,500. Let me know!

"Let me know!"

This is all also coming from the same man who has plans to resurrect Harambe.

This is also the man who raised the price of HIV/AIDS combative medication Daraprim by 5,556%.

Fuck you, Martin. But also, somebody please punch him in the face so that little boy gets money.
