Just when you thought the bizarre antics of famed ‘Pharma Bro’, Martin Shkreli, couldn’t get any more outrageous, along comes a new book detailing how he was almost “whacked” by members of the Wu-Tang Clan after a twisted scheme, which somehow also involved Bill Murray, went horribly wrong. According to the book, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin: The Untold Story,” it all started when Shkreli bought Wu-Tang Clan’s infamous record, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, for $2million.
Wu-Tang fans were outraged at the sale because Shkreli purchased the album for his own personal use and was explicitly prohibited from commercially releasing the record for all to enjoy.
Alas, the sale was apparently just a big scam designed to heighten interest in the record and make even more money. According to exclusive details from the Daily Mail, members of the Wu-Tang Clan had already plotted with Shkreli to stage a fake heist to ‘steal’ back the album, along with a little help from Bill Murray, from Shkreli’s home and then release it publicly. Here is how the original scheme was supposed to play out per the Daily Mail:
