Mr Shkreli became the object of widespread ire after his company acquired the drug Daraprim, often used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients, and raised the price of a pill from $13.50 to $750.

Over 200 jurors were excused from his trial on unrelated federal fraud charges on the basis that they cannot remain impartial.

Excerpts published by Harper’s Magazine reveal juror after juror revealing their inability - or unwillingness - to judge his case fairly, with one calling Mr Shkreli “the most hated man in America”.

But others are more straightforward - with one juror criticising “his entire demeanor, what he has done to people”, before adding: “And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.”

Another juror said: “I heard he bought an album from the Wu-Tang Clan for a million dollars”, before admitting: “I don’t think I can because he kind of looks like a dick.”

Both jurors were among those excused from the trial.

Mr Shkreli is the world’s sole owner of the Wu-Tang Clan’s double album, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which he bought for $2 million.

He later leaked part of the album after promising he would do so if Donald Trump won the US presidential election.
