NEW YORK (Reuters) â The U.S. government said it sold imprisoned drug company executive Martin Shkreliâs one-of-a-kind album by Wu-Tang Clan to pay off the $7.36 million he was ordered to forfeit after being convicted of fraud.
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto, who oversaw Shkreliâs 2017 trial in Brooklyn, prosecutors said the forfeiture amount has been fully satisfied following the sale of the album âOnce Upon a Time in Shaolinâ and other asset sales.
The sale price and buyer were not disclosed because of a confidentiality provision in the contract, prosecutors said.
