A remorseful Martin Shkreli promised the judge who’s going to sentence him next week that he’ll be "more careful, open and honest" if she doesn’t impose a long prison term, acknowledging "I was a fool. I should have known better."
"I assure you that any mercy shown at sentencing will be met with a strict adherence to this oath and I hope to make your honor proud of me in the years ahead," Shkreli said in a letter penned from the Brooklyn lockup where he’s been since September.
