Martin Shkreli, the embattled former pharmaceutical executive (who’s also been arrested for fraud) took the 5th at a Congressional Oversight Committee hearing on drug pricing:

However, Shkreli did NOT take the 5th on Twitter:

Many thought it was an unwise move:
I'm pretty sure his lawyer also advised him to stay off social media https://t.co/LTxYHilw67

I never give legal advice, but "don't talk to the press, but feel free to tweet, just go nuts" is bad advice. https://t.co/VxYENVm2bc

So Martin Skreli is live trolling / hate tweeting his congressional hearing? Keep it classy dude. https://t.co/YRptBsmfGp

.@MartinShkreli, isn't this just taunting Congress to try and hold you in contempt? Why bother? https://t.co/Eqm3LzxBaT

Shkreli invoked the 5th Amendment to every — and we mean every — question:
Gowdy: Is it Wu Tang Clan…the name of the group?
Shkreli: On advice of counsel, I invoke my 5th amendment privilege
This.
Just.
