Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli Ordered To Surrender His Copies Of Rare Wu-Tang Clan Album

The drama behind Wu-Tang Clan’s one of one album continues. Martin Shkreli has been ordered to surrender his copies of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.

As spotted on The Verge the controversial businessman is now being mandated to give up any duplicates he may have made of the 2015 project. This week the new owners PleasrDAO, a organization that focuses on investing and collectibles, filed a claim alleging that the former Pharma Bro “improperly retained copies of data and files”. The filing cited several occasions where he played the album during livestreams post his release from federal prison and forfeiting the work as per his securities fraud conviction.

“On June 30, 2022, during another live stream, Shkreli again played a portion of the Album and again admitted to having retained the Album, stating: ‘of course I made MP3 copies, they’re like hidden in safes all around the world’” the document reads. PleasrDAO also point to several occasions where Martin openly admitted to violating the terms of the sale by sharing the music with his friends and associates even writing on X, formerly Twitter, “i can just upload the mp3s if you want? email addy?”
