Remember Martin Shkreli, who became public enemy #1 after raising the price of a popular AIDS and cancer drug by 50 times?
Rather than attempting a futile PR campaign, he decided to embrace the villain role. He tweeted constantly, often live-streamed his life, and was unabashedly arrogant and unapologetic. He was a basically a media troll. The media wanted a villain, so he gave them a super villain. It actually worked, as he overwhelmed them and they lost interest in him for the most part.
Anyway, Twitter -- a company which has long been dogged by cyberbullying problems but only takes action in high-profile situations -- has just kicked him off for photoshopping.
At issue is this photoshop of Lauren Duca, a Teen Vogue writer who penned an article critical of Trump, Shkreli, and others:

He photoshopped himself in place of her husband.
He also invited her to the Trump inauguration via DM.
He also admitted in another Tweet that he "had a crush" on Duca.
He also tweeted this today:
On a side note what's with her eyebrows?
He claimed that he "admired her resolve". Personally I believe he was never into her, but was just pretending in order to troll her.
