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. What do you think I do, make cookies? No, motherfucker. I sell drugs.

WU-TANG $2 MILLION ALBUM It Could Be Yours After All

Martin Shkreli, the dude who jacked the price of the AIDS/cancer medicine from $13.50 to $750 a pop, could lose one of his most precious possessions -- the $2 million, one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album.

As we reported, Shkreli was indicted for securities fraud ... $65 million worth. Federal prosecutors and law enforcement sources tell us ... Shkreli's precious Wu-Tang album could be seized.

If prosecutors determine any of the $65 mil was used to purchase the album, they could immediately file a forfeiture action to seize it.

What's more, even if dirty money wasn't used to buy Wu-Tang's work, if Shkreli gets convicted and the judge orders restitution, the U.S. Marshals could seize it.

A source in the U.S. Marshals Office tells us, it's actually likely they would target the album, because it's an expensive asset that could easily be auctioned off to pay the restitution judgment.

But here's the rub ... we're told when Wu-Tang sold the album, it was non-transferable for 88 years. The question ... will the Marshal honor Wu-Tang's condition?

that dude has not been on his twitter in 11 hours. highly doubting this will happen. i'm sure rza could get someone to check his IP and all that.

BUT, some smart social engineering type of teen should have snuck in his crib while he was in jail, but i guess not.

hell, there's video footage of one of his live feeds where he used the wu-tang album box as a drink coaster.

I like this Skhreli dude. He takes the rap/drug game to a whole new different level.

RZA's been SJW'd:

http://www.theroot.com/blogs/the_grapev ... event.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
#NewBlack Alert: Wu-Tang Clan Founder RZA Says Dressing Better Could Prevent Police Harassment and All Lives Matter, Which Is Why He Doesn’t Eat Meat

But it’s his comments about BLM and law enforcement that have some people shaking their heads. When asked about BLM, he definitely gave an interesting response.

“Of course black lives matter,” RZA said. “All lives matter. I stopped eating meat because their lives matter to me. I don’t think it’s necessary for us to grow a cow to kill it.”

Unfortunately, it’s not the livestock out there in the streets getting harassed and killed by cops. But go on with your vegan self.

Speaking of cops, if RZA hadn’t become a rapper, he says he would have been a cop.

“Look, I wanted to be in law enforcement as a kid,” he said. “You wanted to be these guys, you know what I mean?”

But the image of police has changed, he continued. “In the old days, a cop, you’d let him in your house and give him a cookie and milk. Now you’re like ... yo, yo yo, yo.”

RZA went on to emphasize that “all lives matter” and gave props to the police. ...

But he also pointed the finger at the image some black people project, and seemed to say that if you wore nicer clothes, you wouldn’t have certain issues. This coming from a man who rocked hoodies and Wallabees for the majority of his life. ...

How is it that RZA’s BFF, Quentin Tarantino, has a better understanding of police brutality and the misuse of justice than he does?

CSB alert.

Between 2002-2003, this guy was a friend of a close friend's. They went to high school together. He took us to his parties in this studio his boss let him use that overlooked St. Patrick's Cathedral. The guy was socially awkward and tried in vain to kick it to numerous chicks that he invited to these massive shit shows. I thought, "This guy seems like a dork who's good with numbers and money."

And now he's all:

can't find a better link but

http://pitchfork.com/news/63187-martin- ... mote-area/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"In December, controversial pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli paid millions for Wu-Tang Clan's one-of-a-kind album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. Shkreli has since been arrested on charges of securities fraud, and is out on bail.

Shkreli is the subject of a new profile at Vice. Allie Conti reports: "Shkreli says he vacillates between wanting to destroy the record and dreaming of installing it in some remote place so that people have to make a spiritual quest to listen."

"I'm not just the heel of the music world," he told Vice. "I want to be the world's heel." (In pro wrestling, "heels" are bad guys.)"
