Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli ordered to surrender copies of one-off Wu-Tang Clan album


Convicted felon and ex-pharmacy executive Martin Shkreli has been ordered to surrender all his copies of the one-off Wu-Tang Clan Shaolin album he used to own.

The preliminary injunction, issued by federal judge Pamela Chen, was made on behalf of an NFT collective called PleasrDAO, the current owner of the record. Shkreli — who became infamous for buying and jacking up the price of life-saving AIDS medication Daraprim — purchased the only copy of the Wu-Tang album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin back in 2015 for a reported $2 million at auction. In June, Judge Chen issued restraining order requiring Shkreli to stop distributing the album and to appear in court to explain why he should be allowed to keep his copies.
