‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli Boasted of Making Copies of Wu-Tang’s Album. A Judge Just Ordered Him to Surrender Them.

“Pharma bro” Martin Shkreli has been ordered by a federal judge in Brooklyn to relinquish any copies of the Wu-Tang Clan’s one-of-a-kind album, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” Artnet first reported.

Shkreli notoriously purchased the one-in-existence album from the iconic Staten Island rappers, Wu-Tang Clan, for $2 million in 2015. One of the stipulations Shkreli was bound to when he purchased the album was that he couldn’t reproduce it for at least 88 years, per copyright law.

After Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud in 2018, the album was sold by the U.S. government to PleasrDAO, a collective specializing in NFTs, in 2021 for $4.75 million.
