A one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album that had been owned by jailed pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli has been sold by the federal government as part of civil forfeiture agreement he reached when he was convicted in 2017.
The proceeds of the sale will go to satisfy the $7.4 million forfeiture agreement Shkreli reached when he was convicted, according to the U.S. Attorney for New York’s Eastern District. He became infamous in 2015 for engineering a huge price hike for a long-existing medication for a sometimes life-threatening parasitic infection, earning the moniker, the “Pharma Bro.”
Free him
What excuse does the Federal Government have to keep the sales price secret? Obviously not national security. Perhaps a big discount to a dnc buyer?
If anyone wants it I'll take offers
