Judge Puts Temporary Ban on ‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli From Streaming Rare Wu-Tang Clan Album
A judge has put a temporary ban on 'pharma bro' Martin Shkreli from streaming or disseminating a rare Wu-Tang Clan album.
A federal judge has put a temporary ban on “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli from streaming or disseminating copies of a one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album that he purchased for $2 million in 2015. The ban, reported by CNBC, came just a day after PleasrDAO, the company that bought the album from Shkreli for $4.75 million, filed a civil suit against him in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York for allegedly holding on to copies of Wu-Tang Clan’s “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.” The suit claimed that Shkreli had played the album on the internet as recently as Sunday and that his conduct violated forfeiture. Judge Chen scheduled a hearing for June 25 regarding PleasrDAO’s suit, which could result in a continuation of the injunction on Shkreli and force him to surrender any copies of the album he retained.
