Wu-Tang clan speaks at a press conference. Their album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, which they only released one copy of, has become a hot subject in the news lately as its sole owner, Martin Shrekli finds himself in several controversies. | Getty FBI doesn't seize pharma exec's Wu-Tang album

The bad-boy exec who miffed music fans by shelling out $2 million for the only copy of a Wu-Tang Clan album — and then not listening to it — hasn't had to fork it over to the feds. Yet.

Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli was arrested Thursday over charges of securities fraud, leading many to speculate that maybe law enforcement had seized the album, called "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" But the FBI took to Twitter to dispel the rumors.


“#Breaking no seizure warrant at the arrest of Martin Shkreli today, which means we didn't seize the Wu-Tang Clan album,” the FBI New York tweeted Thursday.

Shkreli has been in the public's bad graces after he jacked up the price of a life-saving AIDS pill from $13.50 to $750 in September. The move prompted presidential candidates on both sides to condemn him — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders gave a campaign donation from Shkreli to an HIV clinic, and Donald Trump called him a "spoiled brat."

But he also enraged legions of Wu-Tang fans with his flip approach to his mega purchase. “I could be convinced to listen to it earlier if Taylor Swift wants to hear it or something like that,” Shkreli told Bloomberg Business. “But for now, I think I’m going to kind of save it for a rainy day.”
