Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli Is Auctioning Off The Right To Punch Him In The Face
Somebody start a GoFundMe.
Have you ever wanted to punch Martin Shkreli in the face? Sorry, stupid question, of course you have. The pharmaceutical exec, best known for gouging the price of lifesaving HIV medication, has one of the most punchable faces on the entire planet, after all.
So here’s the good news: all you need is a spare 80k, and you could get the chance to make that dream a reality.
People Are Really, Really Enjoying The Fact That Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli Has Been Arrested
Shkreli recently took to twitter to offer one lucky bidder the chance to wind up and sock him square in the mouth. Shkreli is hoping to raise money for the family of Mike Kulich, a porn mogul and Shkreli’s former PR man who passed away over the weekend, leaving behind a young son who recently completed treatment for leukemia.
The winner will be allowed to video the encounter, and can also send someone else to do the punching for them. A number of twitter users, bless their hearts, have already nominated Mike Tyson.
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

The auction has already attracted plenty of attention, with Shkreli revealing that the highest bid was close to $80,000.

He later tweeted that the winning bidder could opt to have dinner with him instead. Nice try dickhead, but you’re not weaseling out of this that easily.
