DOJ to Martin Shkreli: Hand over the Wu-Tang Clan album

Martin Shkreli, the "pharma bro" who faces up to 20 years in prison for securities fraud, may be forced to turn over his copy of the Wu-Tang Clan album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin." Shkreli won the album after he bid $2 million in an auction, and owns the only copy of the album in existence. He has released a portion of the album via a YouTube livestream.

Now, the Department of Justice wants Shkreli to forfeit the album, along with his shares to Turing Pharmaceuticals, an Enigma machine, a Picasso painting, and the copy of the unreleased Lil Wayne album "The Carter V," which Shkreli claims to own as well.

Many people were amused by this new development:

Shkreli will be sentenced in January. He's currently in prison after his bail was revoked.

Comment: This must come as good news to all the Wu-Tang fans out there! The better news is that this sleaze bag will be spending the rest of his time in prison - hopefully the full 20 years.

Shkreli is not a sleaze bag. He's a small time pharma guy who is getting railroaded by the SEC and the establishment pharma. 20 years in prison, really?

For what crime exactly?

"This must come as good news to all the Wu-Tang fans out there!"

Well, The Wu Tang Clan could have put it 'out there' themselves, couldn't they?

Kind of ruins the concept when, like everything else, it gets loaded up onto the internet, then people listen to three seconds of it and click 'like, or whatever.

"Snake got smoked on the set like Brandon Lee Blown out the frame like Pan Am flight 103. He got swung on, his lungs was torn, the kingpin just castled with his rook and lost a pawn, a regular on the block, and played look-out for playing predator with a glock he should have took out. No neighborhood is rough enough. There is no clip that's full enough. I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload. Product must be sold to you. Fiends ain't comin fast enough. There is no cut that's pure enough. I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload. Product must be sold to you."

Like how 'Fiddy' Cent did starting out. Saw the world for what it is... Recognised his position within that world for what he is... Grabbed the bull by its horns and made it happen.

"If my record don't sell - I'm gonna rob an' steal!"

Spoken like a true to form raw and unbridled Planet:3D STS Playa!

Quote of the Day

Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.

- Alexander Dugin
