A former Bloomberg News reporter quit her job, divorced her husband, and froze her eggs for imprisoned former CEO Martin Shkreli

Christie Smythe, 38, broke the news of Shkreli's arrest on fraud charges in December 2015

Shkreli, known as the 'Pharma Bro,' is apparently now refusing to talk to her

Shkreli, 37, gained notoriety after his company raised the price of an anti-parasite drug from $13.50 to $750

Smythe claims she and Shkreli started dating after he was incarcerated in 2018

In a statement, Shkreli told Elle that 'Mr. Shkreli wishes Ms. Smythe the best of luck in her future endeavors'

On Sunday night Smythe tweeted a rebuttal to those criticizing her relationship

In the "Women who develop a crush for criminal sociopaths" file, this crazy woman blew up her life to chase a felon whose only response to her declaration of love was he "wishes Ms. Smythe the best of luck in her future endeavors"

Plus, she's guilty:

There are some women who will throw away their relationship with a Beta male, in order to chase after the scent of an Alpha male.

Wealthy/powerful sociopaths definitely attract the girls (at least a certain type). Bill Clinton is a good example.

Modern civilization is wrestling with a number of foundational issues. Apart from the core issue of lack of religious faith, I think that the deep issues between Men and Women may be next most important. Many decades of sabotage to fix. Both women and men have been damaged.

Shkreli once again confirms the public perception of him.

I am concerned form my daughters and grandchildren, but my wife and I are doing fine. She’s a woman and very much wants to be and I’m a man and very much want to be. If I need to get in touch with my feminine side, I reach for my wife.

We both celebrate the strengths the other brings to the relationship. And we also thank God for the ways the other’s strengths shore up our own gender weaknesses.

Exactly! And that’s why I have no sympathy for her!

A long-winded story that draws you in. Her eggs were being saved for somebody, not necessarily this bad boy. In the meantime she did her husband a big favor divorcing him. I’ve been around naive women like this before. The moral is this: Don’t think with your hoo hoo.

Much truth in what you say. She has a srong evolutionary drive to mate with an alpha male and bear his children. Still try to imagine what this woman will be like in twenty years when she is no longer fertile.

Many women claim that they want to find a sensitive, Beta-type of male.

Many men feel compelled to take on a Beta-type of personality – you know: to attract women.

Meanwhile, many people are actually attracted to Alpha-type males.

Many men consider themselves to be Alphas, but are, in fact, just jerks. (Donald Trump is an Alpha, and he is not a jerk, so those guys are out there. But a lot of so-called “Alphas” are fairly despicable people.)

So you get a lot of Beta males sitting at home with no girlfriend, playing video games and watching pron.

You get a lot women chasing jerks and growing old and getting bitter about all the good men being taken.

You get a lot of jerks who put up a front of being Alphas and who successfully take advantage of lots of women.

You get some Alpha men and some sensible women connecting and being happy. This last group is a heck of a lot smaller than it ought to be.

Many women want to breed with bad boys and have simps take care of the kids.

She will be 41 to 42 when he gets out. He will be rich enough to attract someone younger.

She has already waited too long to have kids.

She likely will have a long time to live by herself and reflect on her choices.

Wealth and power are the greatest aphrodisiacs for a guy. Evolution has programmed women to be attracted to those qualities in a male.

She’s cute (suspended sentence) but I think her husband (if she didn’t strip him of his assets on the way out...) is the real winner here.
