Judge Orders Martin Shkreli to Testify Over Wu-Tang Clan Album

A judge has ordered Martin Shkreli to testify about the Wu-Tang Clan album he purchased for $2 million.

The album, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin", is a highly unusual and exclusive release that features only one copy.

Shkreli, a pharmaceutical entrepreneur, is being sued by a group of investors who claim they were misled about the financial health of his company, Retrophin.

He has been ordered to appear in court and explain his role in the purchase of the album, which is now at the center of the lawsuit.

A judge, Pamela K. Chen, scheduled a hearing for next month to resolve the issue of what exactly Shkreli did with the album.

Shkreli will be called upon to testify under oath regarding the copying and distribution of the album's tracks.

Both parties will be permitted to question Shkreli on these issues.

Shkreli previously told the judge he had searched his devices and electronic accounts but couldn't recall who he had shared the album with.

He swore under penalty of perjury that he had handed over any copies he owned, but his disclosure "fell short" of the judge's requirements.

Shkreli's attorneys did not immediately return a request for comment on Monday (Oct. 14).
