Martin Shkreli’s lawyer will have a white sand Christmas after a federal judge ruled he could spend his time out on bail out of the country with his family.

Evan Greebel, a 42-year-old corporate attorney who served as general counsel to Shkreli’s biopharmaceutical company Retrophin Inc., was arrested last week and released on a $1 million bond. Prosecutors say he helped Shkreli steal money from the company to hide Shkreli’s alleged Ponzi scheme.

But fortunes they so often change, and this week Greebel was granted leave to spend Christmas with his family in Cancun.

“The present trip to Cancun was planned and booked this past Spring,” Greebel defense lawyer Jonathan Sack said in a motion later granted by U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto. “Mr. Greebel and his family are supposed to travel with their children, mother-in-law and father-in-law and another close relative.”

A week with the in-laws—someone’s angling for time served.
