During a Friday interview on Bloomberg TV, former pharmacy CEO Martin Shkreli wore what appears to be a rare ‘Pepe the Frog’ pin.

Here’s a better look:
Pepe briefly became a political hot topic during the presidential election, when he was embraced by the alt-right and Hillary Clinton posted a page on her website calling the meme “a symbol associated with white supremacy.”
Shkreli, currently under federal indictment for his role in alleged securities fraud, has previously admitted he has a soft spot for 4chan, the messageboard in which Pepe first began to spread. He was also spotted at an “alt-right art show” in October.
