Shkreli — who became infamous for buying and jacking up the price of life-saving AIDS medication Daraprim — purchased the only copy of the Wu-***** album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin back in 2015 for a reported $2 million at auction. Following his securities ****** conviction, the album was seized along with other assets to satisfy a forfeiture judgement. The government then sold the album in 2021 to PleasrDAO for $4.75 million.

However, that group sued Shkreli in June 2024, accusing him of streaming the music as pat of a “Wu-***** Official Listening Party” on social media.
