“Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” is arguably the most coveted music collector’s item to emerge in the 21st century.
Wu-Tang Clan’s one-of-a-kind album, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” once owned by Martin Shkreli, who is known to the public as “Pharma Bro,” has been sold by the United States Government to an undisclosed buyer, the Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday in a press release.
The proceeds from the sale will be applied to a forfeiture money judgment against Shkreli, the DOJ announced.
The 38-year-old Shkreli forfeited his interest in the album following conviction for engaging in securities fraud schemes in 2017 and was sentenced to seven years in federal prison.
