Hmmm… You should probably review the (ahem!) contest terms… I only offered to forward your public questions, as a journalist … let me think on this.
You just appeared on my site overnight, but I’ve reviewed your ISP, geographical location, carrier and device details… in sum, you seem legit…
But as I say… you are trying to alter the contest terms, post hoc.
Let me give it some thought. I don’t really want to create a private channel of communication, and inadvertently create an attorney client relationship.
Alternatively… since Marty’s not going anywhere for about six years — you have time to mail to my US postal address, on paper. That’s a PO Box in Chicago listed on the current top post at riotblockchainreviewed [dot] WordPress [dot] com.

aha. the “chat about case” means the marty shkreli case.
not a “my case” sort of thing.
but i have your address. I will send you a letter anyways.
and maybe also post public questions here.
need to take a breather though. my finger is sore pressing refresh on twitter.
So you think the government are going to launch an appeal? I hope they don’t. 3-7 years would be time enough to cultivate a sense of remorse I think, at the same time as not being too heavy. And that’s what he got. I agree with Brafman, 15 is too much.
Too early to say. But I think the AUSAs may appeal.
I know Mr. Brafman will — so the government may need to do so — just to show they really believed 15 was the just number, based on prior Second Circuit precedents…
We shall see. But if nothing changes, he will have to do at least 85 per cent of the 7 years.
Namaste… that’s assuming he does all good time (no infractions).
What the expert court consultants will tell you is, since Marty is coming from prison in his jump suit, it’s going to be easier for the Judge to give him a harsher sentence. If he showed up from home (as would have been the original plan) in some nice business clothes, his chances would be better. Granted, a judge is not a jury, but the Judge has to deal with the court of public opinion … and the news media will have some drawings of Marty in his jumpsuit … so it’s like the Judge is starting out on first base already!
As a technical matter (for debating purposes), I’m not sure that the crimes merge and 20 is the max. sentence, as some have indicated … since the different crimes had different victims. Probably more of a theoretical issue, since unlikely Judge would go beyond 20 in any event… but we like to debate these things!.
There’s still going to be a couple of years of appeals, regardless. So there will be more issues ahead … except appeals could drag on … more like playing chess by regular U.S. mail!
As far as I know, NYU never returned Shkreli’s money, which established the endowed professorship at NYU. (The amount was never revealed, but it was likely in the millions.) Nevertheless, it appears that Dr. Trachtman has scrubbed Martin Shkreli’s name from his webpage. Dr. Trachtman is no longer publicly identified as the “Martin Shkreli Professor of Pediatric Nephrology” at the NYU website. And the doctor certainly didn’t identify himself as such when signing his letter of support for Shkreli.

no inside info. this was my play by play.
I figured the judge would do half of what the Govt asks or 7.5 and they adjust up or down by 6 months depending on the arguments of the lawyers.
Shkreli has an A+ lawyer, so 7 was a good number.
But it was too close to R West’s 7.5, so I picked 6.5

Indeed.
And to be fair, I am unlikely to cover them. I’ll leave the lights on — so you all may comment on them, no matter what.
NOW — as if to prove there is always a wrinkle, with this guy — and this case — Mr. Brafamn JUST NOW FILED (10:30 EST on the eve of sentencing) one MORE very tardy letter of support — from a medical researcher/MD who once worked with Marty. It’s a nice letter — but is likely meaningless.
Namaste –now I am off to bed.

The letter is from Howard Trachtman, a nephrologist who once held (and perhaps still does) an endowed, NAMED professorship at NYU.
And the name on that endowed professorship?
Yup, you guessed it. None other than Martin Shkreli.

Fascinating. Professor Coffee is a very smart guy. He thinks “no way” will Judge Matsumoto pull a 20 or more. Me? I’m not so sure.
It seems some of the letters authored by the guy who wrote the article, and Marty’s replies, may also have been part of the AUSAs’ filing this week.
