Martin Shkreli may have to forfeit assets, including $2M Wu-Tang Clan album

Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Prosecutors asked a federal judge in New York on Friday to force former pharmaceutical executive and hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli to forfeit $7.4 million in assets.

That could include $5 million in bail money, and a one-of-a-kind rap album by hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan -- titled Once Upon a Time in Shaolin -- which Shkreli bought for $2 million last year.

Prosecutors said they were also interested in Shkreli's holdings in Turing Pharmaceuticals, a Lil Wayne album The Carter V, a Picasso painting and an Enigma machine from World War II.

"We will vigorously oppose the government motion," Shkreli's lawyer Ben Brafman told CNN.

7. Dems should make him a poster boy in 2018

Yes he's a clown and obviously out there as far as being a greedy asshole, but in the end is he really any different than the repubs or their donor class puppeteers who just aren't as obvious? I say put him in ad after ad across the country and say here is your repub party example in all their unadulterated glory.
