Martin Shkreli’s Lucky Find Amid Legal Troubles
Martin Shkreli, the infamous former hedge fund manager known as "Pharma bro," continues to make headlines. On Friday, he was convicted of fraud and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. However, before his legal troubles, Shkreli stumbled upon an exciting find. He recently showcased a rare Wu-Tang Clan album worth $2 million at a party and, even more remarkably, he discovered an unreleased track selection from Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V after a friend purchased the rapper’s Bugatti Veyron.
White House correspondent Alex Pfeiffer reported that the discovery of the CD containing the exclusive tracks was quite fortuitous. The new owner of one of Lil Wayne’s famed Bugattis accidentally found the CD inside the vehicle. Realizing its significance, he reached out to Shkreli and sold it to him for an undisclosed sum.
However, Shkreli’s actions did not go unnoticed. He leaked some of the album’s tracks, which infuriated Lil Wayne. The rapper became aware of the leaks back in December and issued a warning of potential legal action before they agreed to refrain from further releases related to the upcoming album. With Shkreli now set for prison time, the situation may evolve, either by keeping the tracks undisclosed until their official release later this year or leaking them before his incarceration.
This turn of events is certainly a tale of unexpected fortune. However, for someone with the means to buy a Bugatti Veyron, such luck might not come as a surprise—especially considering the additional financial gain he managed to acquire from Shkreli before his impending legal consequences.
