The verified twitter account of the New York branch of the FBI has commented on the status of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which was purchased by Martin Shkreli, who was arrested today.
“no seizure warrant at the arrest of Martin Shkreli today, which means we didn’t seize the Wu-Tang Clan album,” FBI New York writes on Twitter today (December 17).
The FBI New York’s tweet is as follows:
(The most recent story in this thread was published earlier today [December 17, 2015]. It is as follows.)
Martin Shkreli was released on $5 million bond Thursday, according to CNBC.
At a hearing Thursday, Shkreli also had his travel restricted to specific portions of New York.
(The first story in this thread was published earlier today [December 17, 2015]. It is as follows.)
Martin Shkreli, pharmaceutical CEO and newly-revealed owner of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin album, was arrested by the FBI.
According to a report from Bloomberg, the entrepreneur was arrested today (December 17) on securities fraud charges.
The website reports that prosecutors charged Shkreli with “illegally taking stock from Retrophin Inc., a biotechnology firm he started in 2011, and using it to pay off debts from unrelated business dealings.”
Additionally, the CEO is said to have “made secret payoffs and set up sham consulting arrangements.”
A press conference is currently scheduled for later today.
Earlier this week, HipHopDX published an interview with Shkreli in which he spoke on his heightening irritation with RZA, plans to bail Bobby Shmurda out, and more.
“I bought the most expensive album in the history of mankind and fucking RZA is talking shit behind my back and online in plain sight,” Shkreli said while speaking with HipHopDX. “I’m just getting pissed off. That’s not the way I do business. If I hand you $2 million, fucking show me some respect. At least have the decency to say nothing or ‘no comment.’ The guy says ‘…before his business practices came to light.’ What the fuck does that mean? I fucking make money. That’s what I do. That’s why I can fucking afford a fucking $2 million album.”

Well I hoped he bumped that new Wu album first

How ironic
Excellent move RZA…..smh, I hope that check bounces.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. The irony hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
He can start his rap career now.
As much as I HATE this guy, he won’t be in custody very long…. this guy is VERY VERY wealthy and will most likely, at worst, take a financial hit that he probably won’t even feel.
#FREEMARTIN$HKRELI
He had no problems until he said he was gone bail bobby out of jail
Exactly. They’re going to make an example of this man.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
HA.
TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY. Merry Christmas all hip hop fans!
Great post*long live the 80s & 90s*

Christmas came early this year. Fuck this prick.
You’re boring.
This has all been set up by Bill Murray so that now he can steal the Wu album. Genius move Mr. Murray!
Troll game is wack dude. Step it up
The hate this guy is getting is ridiculous, and its all from Black people. Did this guy fuck your mother or something? Hes Rich as Fuck and he’s going to be let go, watch. No wonder ya’ll aint going nowhere, literally.
You’re down here with the rest of us, fuck boy
Nope, the hatred is coming from anyone that has a soul.
Martin is the savior of hiphop, he keepin Wu-Tang relevant and gon bail out Bobby Shmurda. Next thing you know hes gon get Ja Rule a 2 milli budget for a big album.
Ya’ll dont get it, do you? He was charged because he said he was going to Bail out Bobby! The HIp Hop Police came in and said “OH NO YOU AINT NIGGA!” They making sure he stays in. What Martin did Rich People do all the time, its the name of the game but he Fucked up by saying he was going to free bobby and make his money back. This will give other Rich white folks the same idea. Think about it, what is 2 million dollars when THEY made over 20 million profit just on one song, HOT NIGGA.
The Feds having to release a statement on the wutang album LMAO I love it
RZA dun fucked up on this one…u think wu fans who desperately wanted this album couldn’t give his stoopid ass 2 mil if he went retail…. killed a legacy for this!!! hope it’s worth it old man…oh yeah fuck Wu tang….long live the solos…except if u RZA
WTF? So did you forget CREAM. STFU Wu-Tang owes your broke ass nothing. You probably didn’t even purchase “A Better Tomorrow” FOH
Know how I know you’re a middle American fuckboy who drinks Monster energy drinks all day? Cuz you purchased “A Better Tomorrow” lollllll
i smell a setup. somebody gonna jack the wutang album whiles he’s up. he gets released and and gets it bootlegged. my thoughts
Every time a black man get rich, the white man trying to bring him down on false charges and send him to prison so a brother can rot. Letting white pedophiles go while incarcerating innocent black men…wait, this Shkreli white? Oh, nevermind then. Send this fuck face to prison until he dies.
Idk if ppl realize jus how much the govt is showing that we are under martial law. Ppl mad bout this guy buying wu-tang album like yall got 2 mill to spend. Think bout it he buys a drug jacks up the price which isnt a huge issue(maybe asking dea how cartels get their drugs in the country im sure they have an invoice somewhere around along with a “permission slip” from certain *cough sen-….. *cough -ators! look into pfizer and bayer those companies make more bank than this dudes companies jus to inform you “geniuses”. Dont believe me thats cool , troll me thats better but the joke is gon be the day you walk in to get yo prescrips and realize that the system you living is gon be the one that kills you in the end.
Wake up, sheeple!
It’s a shame that an asshole full of money that does’nt care about the Wu-Tang Clan album for the music or Hip Hop as a whole bought the album.
The Gov’t wants to find a way to inspect every word of the album to try to find any incriminating lyrics(Hip Hop police). Just like they do with all the rap music produced. So Shkreli was just a pawn. The gov’t knows more of the importance of the Wu more than the average listener.
Plus Shkreli was talking about bailing Bobby Shmurder? The gov’t said he’s whilling with his money. So they gave him a slap on the wrist.
“The Gov’t wants to find a way to inspect every word of the album to try to find any incriminating lyrics” Yo fam them ballenciaga aluminum hats are popping right now…I copped two pairs so them Gov’t satellites aint got shit on me fam!
This is the same asshole who raised the prise on the HIV/ aids medication?
I think he should invesinvest in maybe a 50 Cent /Bobby album or GUnit WuTang album
Invest****
I heard he was gonna bail out bobby smurda nxt thing I hear his been taken by pigs! So bobby been fucked over again. I hope Martin gets life his nasty piece of work doesn’t care for anyone but himself.
