Pharmaceutical bad boy Martin Shkreli was finally giving people what they want — an opportunity to punch him in the face.
“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, 33, tweeted Tuesday about his friend Mike Kulich, 29, a publicist who died in his sleep over the weekend.
“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,” he added.
But the eBay auction didn’t last long because, according to Shkreli, “ebay [was] ruining it.”
“Any recommendations for an auction site that will hold my auction with verified bidders?” he asked his 147,000 followers.
The Wu-Tang Clan fanatic is facing federal securities fraud charges for allegedly running an $11 million Ponzi scheme.
He was dubbed “The Most Hated Man in America” after his hedge-fund company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, jacked up the price of an HIV drug by 5,556 percent.
