We’ve all heard about ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin‘, the single-copy double album by Hip Hop greats The Wu-Tang Clan.

In case you haven’t heard, Wu-Tang Clan have only ever produced one copy of their  record ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin‘ and have gone to great lengths to make sure no one gets a copy of it. They kept the album in a safe in The Royal Mansour Hotel in Marrakech, Morocco.

In 2015 they put the album up for auction to the highest bidder and reports had come in saying it was being sold for over $5 million dollars.

Well we recently learned that Martin Shkreli was the man who bid the highest at the auction (even though it wasn’t the reported $5 million dollars), he shelled out a whopping $2 million dollars to be the rightful owner of ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin‘. This means that Mr. Shkreli is the only person in the world who owns the copy of this limited edition album.
For those of you who don’t know who he is, let me give you a brief update. Martin Shkreli is a pharmaceuticals CEO once described as “the most hated man in America”, who controversially hiked up the price of Daraprim, an anti-infective agent most commonly used in patients with HIV.

(The sale of the album to Martin Shkreli was made before his idiotic move, and since then in a statement, RZA dded that the group would donate a “significant portion” of the proceeds to charity).

So now that you know who this neanderthal of a man is, let’s get to the exciting new. The contract that he has signed to own the album states the following:

‘The buying party also agrees that, at any time during the stipulated 88 year period, the seller may legally plan and attempt to execute one (1) heist or caper to steal back Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which, if successful, would return all ownership rights to the seller.’

Then comes arguably the greatest clause ever inserted into a legal document:

‘Said heist or caper can only be undertaken by currently active members of the Wu-Tang Clan and/or actor Bill Murray, with no legal repercussions.’

Can you imagine Bill Murray walking out of Martin Shkreli’s house with the ‘Once Upon A Time In Shaolin‘ copy in a duffel bag (Ocean’s Eleven style) and ‘Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit‘ playing as the end credits??
