Recently we reported that George Zimmerman, who fatally gunned down unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin back in 2012, would be auctioning off the Kel-Tec PF-9 .9mm firearm he used in the shooting. According to TMZ, bids for the weapon went as high as $415,000 on United Gun Group, who hosted the auction for the weapon. Now, the gun may have a new owner, and that owner is notorious “pharma bro”, Martin Shkreli.

Shkreli gained notoriety last year when he bought Wu-Tang’s coveted million dollar LP Once Upon A Time In Shaolin and it was learned that the pharmaceutical CEO was responsible for inflating life-saving AIDS and cancer medication.
