Turns out Martin Shkreli copied his $2M Wu-Tang album—and sent it to “50 different chicks”
"Of course I made MP3 copies, they're like hidden in safes all around the world."
Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had "burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks"—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.
I find that statement suspect.
Imagine needing to give women someone else's mix tape to get them to have sex with you.
Tragic and sad.
You just roasted like half the music industry
Haha, amazing burn! Second hand street cred.
With all the money he has too ridiculous
I handed girls my mix tapes in the 80s and they were all someone else's work. Get on my level!
The fact that Wu Tang made this thing is gross. Fuck that art collector bullshit.
Article said that they made it as a statement about the value drop in art because of digital markets. I hadn't known that, so I kinda respected it more than before I knew that.
This just in, shocking news folks, piece of shit Pharma bro is still a piece of shit...
It's kind of funny though. This guy was shitty but like... A 2/10 compared to Elon. Some of the shit he did was funny in an obnoxious trollish way. Fuck me but I wish he was the worst we had to deal with currently.
He's a POS for sure, but this whole case seems like they're trying to blame him for them not doing their DD. He a) owned a 50% stake in the copyright, and a judge found that gave him permission to make and distribute copies as he sees fit, b) He said quite publicly that distributing it was his intent, c) He didn't try to hide the fact that he distributed it, and d) all that happened before his conviction. It should have been plainly obvious that there were physical and digital copies made and distributed before the auction took place.
So where can I stream it?
That's what I'm screaming. If "50 chicks" have a copy, where's the leakage? Mean to tell me none of them gave up the MP3s, not even for cold cash? None of them bragged and got made an offer?!
And here we see the obvious issues with conspiracies...
Pretend to be a girl well enough and he'll send it to you.
THAT Veronica Vaughn is one hot piece of ayyyce. I know from experience.
No you don’t.
All ace's are hot. The fun part is we don't want to have sex with NOT_RICK because we're ace. That's the part of their post to disagree with, they don't know from experience.
I find that statement suspect
He gave them digital and copiable files that would still be worth a shit ton of money each time they copied it...
Like, the same circle of people that would know he had it and gives it out. Would know who else would pay for it
I'm honestly surprised they don't change the valuation of it to zero and hit him for the amount he used it to take off what he owes.
He's potentially made any copies worthless.
God be has an incredibly punchable face
Back in my Reddit days, as soon as it was posted that he bought this thing, about 1000000000000000 comments on every post of this news article postulated that he would do exactly this.
Like, duh
Sounds a lot more expensive than regular prostitutes
Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had “burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks”—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.

One of the recipients responded positively, which increased his lifetime sexual encounters by ∞%
I find that statement suspect.
Why? Dude is definitely laying pipe simply because he is wealthy. Remember that reporter who covered the trial and interviewed him in prison, she started a relationship with him and immediately divorced her husband. Then Skreli dumped her the moment he got out. That broad definitely only gave him head to get ahead in life.
Can you imagine being married to someone, having a family with them, they get a really cool project at work that exposes them to some billionaire. Then they realise that a short relationship with a billionaire will get them further ahead in life than a lifetime of being with you and they drop your whole family just like that. There is nothing you can do because it's true, you'll never be able to offer them anything close to what they have access to. Convincing them into staying with you means fundamentally holding them back, forcing them into a life of regrets and what ifs.
Fucking brutal.
The value of that album is measurable until he copied it. Once a copy is out then it’s worth significantly less.
I mean, everyone has a type. Even Manson had a fanclub.
Still, 🤮.
I mean, I don't think I'm getting a fanclub any time soon lol
God what a twatwaffle.
No fucking shit
