Judge Says Martin Shkreli Must Testify in Court Under Oath Over Rare Wu-Tang Album


In the Wu-Tang Clan album case, Martin Shkreli must testify about copying and sharing it, a judge ruled.

Amid a federal lawsuit, a judge says Martin Shkreli must personally go to court and testify under oath about the extent to which he copied and shared Wu-Tang Clan ’s rare album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. In a brief ruling Friday (Oct. 11), Judge Pamela K. Chen scheduled a hearing for next month to resolve the issue of what exactly Shkreli did with Once Upon, an ultra-rare Wu-Tang record that he once owned but was forced to forfeit to federal prosecutors after he was convicted of securities fraud. Amid recent efforts to monetize Once Upon, Pleasr sued Shkreli in June after he made threats to release the album publicly and destroy the exclusivity that the company had purchased.
