Judge orders Martin Shkreli to hand over digital copy of Wu-Tang Clan album owned by PleasrDAO

Martin “Pharma Bro” Shkreli has been ordered to turn over all digital copies of the Wu-Tang Clan album in a legal dispute with PleasrDAO. PleasrDAO has owned the physical album since 2021, when it purchased it for $4.75 million from the Department of Justice, which seized it from Shkreli after his 2018 conviction for securities fraud. The DAO sold some of the ownership through NFTs, but said Shkreli retained a digital copy of the album and sued in June. On August 26, a New York federal judge ordered Shkreli to turn over “any copies of the album in any form he has” to his attorneys and sign a waiver stating that he no longer has any copies by August 30. Shkreli also must submit a list of copies of the album by September 30, including information about the people with whom he shared it and any financial benefit he received from distributing or streaming it. (Cointelegraph) In June, PleasrDAO sued Martin Shkreli for ownership of Wu-Tang Clan albums worth $4.75 million.
