Martin Shkreli Will Have to Testify About How Many Copies of Rare Wu-Tang Album Might Be Out There

Martin Shkreli will testify in an evidentiary hearing about alleged copies of the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan Album 'Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.'

In a lawsuit filed earlier this year, PleasrDAO accused Shkreli of violating the original purchase agreement and forfeiture order by making and retaining digital copies of the album, playing it during his live streams, and sending it to others. PleasrDAO’s lawyers took issue with this, claiming in a letter to Judge Pamela K. Chen that Shkreli’s statement “raises doubts” as to whether he actually “made a good faith effort to comply” with the order. In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, PleasrDAO’s lawyer, Steven Cooper, said, “We are pleased that Judge Chen scheduled an evidentiary hearing to determine whether Martin Shkreli has been totally forthcoming about whether he has diligently searched for, and turned over, all copies of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.”
