The internet's supervillain, a pharmaceutical executive who is currently under investigation for securities fraud, took a brief break from the hot water he usually lives in to treat his "fans" to drinks at a Brooklyn bar after making a court appearance.

He tweeted his offer out to his 154,000 fans (seriously, who are these people?) at 1:15 p.m. ET on Friday.
