Judge Orders Shkreli to Surrender Wu-Tang Album Copies

Former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli has been ordered by a federal judge to surrender all copies of the Wu-Tang Clan's rare album 'Once Upon a Time in Shaolin' amid allegations he retained and distributed digital copies despite a sale agreement. Judge Pamela K. Chen's ruling requires Shkreli to disclose recipients and revenues from any distributions by September 30. The NFT collective PleasrDAO, which bought the album for $4.75 million, sued Shkreli for violating their agreement. Shkreli's attorney noted the ruling is preliminary and does not determine the case's final outcome. The album, purchased by Shkreli in 2015 for $2 million, was intended as a one-of-a-kind art piece and not for public release.
