Martin Shkreli, the infamous “pharma bro” once convicted of securities fraud, must turn over to his attorneys all copies of what was supposed to be a multi-million-dollar, one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album and is barred from selling or distributing the album, a federal judge ruled.
“Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” was created by Wu-Tang in secret over the course of six years, with the group intending for only a single two-CD copy to ever exist and with no accompanying digital or streaming release. In 2015, Shkreli paid a reported $2 million for the album, which included a hand-carved nickel-silver box, along with a leather-bound manuscript containing lyrics and a certificate of authenticity.
