It looks like Martin Shkreli, the man who raised the price of a life-saving drug from $13.50 to $750 per pill, is out of prison.
The man who posted the photo of the pair dining at the chain eatery was one of Shkreli's friends.
Edmund Sullivan said he picked up the guy hitchhiking.
CNBC confirmed the news soon after, so if you were holding out any hope that Sullivan was just joking, you're out of luck.
It wasn't the price of medication that landed him in the big, it was the fact that he was once called the "most hated man in America." He was sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted of unrelated securities fraud.
He was ordered to pay back $64.6 million in excess profits he made from jacking the drug in January this year. The drug Shkreli hawked is an anti-parasitic medicine that can be used to treat HIV and Malaria. The price of other life-saving drugs was also going up.
It is not clear why authorities thought it was a good idea to bring him back to society. According to CNBC, Shkreli was released into a New York halfway house to complete the rest of his sentence, and although he has friends to pick him up, he is angry at them.
One social media user said that praising Martin Shkreli from being released from prison like he still isn't the biggest piece of shit on this earth for what he did raising prices on life saving drugs.
We don't want to speculate on what Shkreli will do next, even though he might be banned from the pharmaceutical industry.
