Inferno has officially freeze out over . The Chicago Cubswon the World Series ; Donald Trumpwon the US administration ; and now , internet scoundrel Martin Shrkeli , who ’s best hump for jacking up the price of HIV / attention medication , has performed a public service : He allowed everyone to listen to the only copy of the Wu - Tang Clan ’s single - copy albumOnce Upon a meter in Shaolin .
Shkreli had anticipate Wu - Tang fans he would release the ultra rare record album if Trump acquire the US presidency . As polls close last night , the pharma bro delivered on his promise . He streamedthe introto the album andone of its runway . Although Shkreli did n’t intend to make lasting copies of the album , hearer ripped the provender and re - uploaded them to YouTube and other sites . The copy usable are low - quality ( so do n’t get too excited ) , but at least now we know what we ’re all missing out on .
The hold out pimple that is Martin Shkreli famously corrupt Once Upon a Time in Shaolinfor $ 2 millionin December 2015 , and he ’s basically been hold it surety ever since . He teased fans on several occasions aboutdestroying the record album , and eventuallypromisedhe’d free the record album if Trump succeed the US presidency . As it became clear that Trump was going to be the winner last dark , Shkreli jumped on the internet and gave the people what they need .
You ’d better enjoy the video that were made available , because it ’s unlikely that Shkreli will ever go for a stunt like that again . In his livestream , he explained that he never really expected Trump to gain ground . He is alsoforbiddenfrom formally releasing the album to the populace . As part of the agreement he sign when he purchased the album , he is prevented from releasing the material for 88 years .

Wu - Tang leader RZA utter to Shkreli over lunch after the original purchase was made . “ We babble out in brief about where he comes from , briefly about what Wu - Tang means,”RZA saidin an audience with Bloomberg . “ He was actually present at this thing we did at MoMA , where we play for 12 moment … and he heard the 12 proceedings . He just really enjoy the music . ”
So there you have it . The Wu - Tang Clan members ( or at least RZA ) look to not really give a shit about whether anyone ever hears the album , and they certainly do n’t deal about who owns it . As long as a toon villain is the owner of this record album , I would notify to stop give a Irish bull . It ’s better not to negotiate with terrorist like Shkreli .
