If you ask someone if something is good or bad and they say 'it's complicated,' that means it sucks

Jay Cutler is the only professional athlete who is treated like a woman

I love how Jay Cutler is the only professional athlete that's treated like a woman, really. Like, honey, you'd be so much better if you'd just smile, babe.

This is a subjective social commentary on sports media tropes.

I mean you can't spend more than 12 hours in Canton without getting legally drunk. I was there last year. It is – it's one of the worst times.

I am 100% innocent of all criminal charges

I'm innocent without a doubt. The charges are related to some hedge funds I operated in a public company I operated. Don't have one person who has ever complained. You won't find one person that ever lost money in these funds.

Shkreli was convicted of two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy in August 2017 and sentenced to seven years in prison.

My trial will be the trial of the decade

The trial is next year in June. It promises to be trial of the decade. I want to make it out to be this big thing. I want it to be like pay-per-view.

While a high-profile case, it was arguably overshadowed by other legal events of the decade, making this a matter of subjective hype.

My company Turing is worth one billion dollars

I don't like to talk about it, but if you look at the company, Turing, that I own, I think that company is worth a billion dollars.

Following Shkreli's arrest and the company's anti-trust violations, it was ordered to pay $40M in restitution and its value plummeted as Shkreli was banned from the industry for life.
