The one copy of an unreleased Wu-Tang Clan album just sold for a LOT. On Wednesday, a cryptocurrency group called PleasrDAO purchased Once Upon a Time in Shaolin from the U.S. government for $4 million. PleasrDAO is a collective of 70 individuals. Convicted pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli, or PharmaBro, bought the album in 2015 for $2 million. The government seized the album as a part of Shkreli’s securities fraud sentence.
The ‘Pharma Bro’ Wu-Tang album seized by the U.S. government was bought for $4 million in July. The owners chose to remain anonymous. Until now https://t.co/gFj3ZD0zx6
