“Pharma bro” Martin Shkreli has been accused of copying and distributing a one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, worth $4m, according to a new lawsuit.
The suit is filed by PleasrDAO, a digital art collective that bought the album from the DoJ in 2021 after Shkreli was forced to give it up as part of $7.4m in assets seized by a federal court. That followed his conviction for securities fraud. The suit accuses him of violating the terms of both the original purchase agreement and the forfeiture order by allegedly making and retaining a digital copy of the album, playing it during his live streams, and sending it to others.
