VICE-Video: "Der furchteinflößendste Schuldeneintreiber Großbritanniens"
Martin Shkreli jedenfalls scheint von der ganzen Once Upon a Time-Sache jetzt die Schnauze voll zu haben – und ballert das Ding einfach bei eBay raus. Jap, bei eBay:Zu seinem Angebot schreibt der "Pharma Bro" in bester Mimimi-Manier sinngemäß: "Ich wollte dieses Album als Geschenk an den Wu-Tang Clan erwerben, um ihr unglaubliches musikalisches Werk zu ehren. Stattdessen schlug mir Verachtung von ihrem (am wenigsten intelligenten) Mitglied entgegen [er meint Ghostface Killah, Anm. d. Red.]."Darüber hinaus habe die ganze Welt nicht verstanden, dass er der Musik einfach nur einen größtmöglichen, ernstzunehmenden Wert geben wollte. Hier Shkrelis komplettes Statement:
This is the one and only Wu-Tang album.
I decided to purchase this album as a gift to the Wu-Tang Clan for their tremendous musical output. Instead I received scorn from at least one of their (least-intelligent) members, and the world at large failed to see my purpose of putting a serious value behind music. I will be curious to see if the world values music nearly as much as I have. I have donated to many rock bands and rappers over the years to ensure they can continue to produce their art when few others would.
At any time I may cancel this sale and I may even break this album in frustration. I will donate half of the sale proceeds to medical research. I am not selling to raise cash--my companies and I have record amounts of cash on hand. I hope someone with a bigger heart for music can be found for this one-of-a-kind piece and makes it available for the world to hear.

Upon sale, I will represent & warranty any copies of the music I have will be destroyed. I have not carefully listened to the album, which is a double CD. There is also a finely crafted booklet which you can read about elsewhere. I will pay legal expenses for the buyer up to $25,000 to ensure the final purchase details are mutually agreeable.
