Hello friends and family!
I hope you're doing well! The temperatures are rising here, finally spring is coming :) I was a bit lazy for the past couple of days and missed my Wu Wednesday post. Here it is.. kind of. And oh well, this comes a bit unexpected...
Infamous Martin Shkreli, aka 'Pharma Bro', needs to say goodbye to the legendary Wu-Tang Clan album and his freedom for quite a long time. A federal judge sentenced him this morning to 7 years behind bars for defrauding his investors. Ouch! Poor chap. He still owes $7.4 million in restitution. He was quoted:
“I’m not the same person I was. I know right from wrong. I know what it means to tell the truth and what it means to lie,” he said, before apologizing to his investors. “I am terribly sorry I lost your trust. You deserve far better.”
So since the feds are trying to get their hands on "Once upon a time in Shaolin" will we ever get the chance to hear it? What are they going to do with it? So many questions! I heard Cher is on the album. Yes! Cher! I kid you not. On a track together with Redman and U God. Just the thought of them being together in a studio cracks me up, it's so weird! But I unquestionably want to listen haha :) Watch the reveal here.
What are your thoughts on this whole Shkreli and Wu-Tang Drama? Are you sick of it? Leave a comment down below.

aww... I dunno, I always had sympathy for the dude...
not sure how exactly he "defrauded" his investors, but i am pretty sure he was just playing the same schemes all the other sleazeballs in his league are playing. He just unfortunately happens to be an actually intelligent narcissist who was desperately seeking some human attention.
Yeah, I dunno, I also think he's kind of an arrogant asshole... but in a likeable way, if that makes any sense...
I hope he doesn't have to do the full 7... and hey, who knows maybe we'll get to hear a leak of the album after all.

yeah same here.... the only problem is: he got caught!
seven years are harsh, but it looks the media played a major role in this, too. people are wishing him aids.. it's just nuts :/ thank's for your feedback man!
