Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had “burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks”—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.
I find that statement suspect.

Am I out of the loop on why people don’t seem to like this bot? Just annoying/spammy or something else? Been seeing it downvoted a lot lately
“Media Bias Fact Check” is just some right winger in his basement.
The goal of Media Bias Fact Check isn’t to reveal hidden bias and create better-informed news readers. The goal is to shift the Overton Window to the right.
Has it given any notably wrong assessments? I’ve just browsed a few of its comments but nothing seemed out of place
Everything ever is Center Left or Left. Only this source and Reuters is considered “least biased.” The only thing that’s been labeled “right” or “center right” is Newsweek. Even AP is labeled “center left.”

Because the point is to let others know that they think it’s a shitty bot and the admins pushing it onto everybody was bullshit. Can’t do that if they just block it.
How’s that going for you?
shrugs I wouldn’t know. I’m not actually one of the people downvoting, which is why I used “they” and not “we”.

Bitter, bitter little star
Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had “burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks”—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.
I find that statement suspect.
One of the recipients responded positively, which increased his lifetime sexual encounters by ∞%
The value of that album is measurable until he copied it. Once a copy is out then it’s worth significantly less.
I find that statement suspect
He gave them digital and copiable files that would still be worth a shit ton of money each time they copied it…
Like, the same circle of people that would know he had it and gives it out. Would know who else would pay for it
I’m honestly surprised they don’t change the valuation of it to zero and hit him for the amount he used it to take off what he owes.
He’s potentially made any copies worthless.
I think the guy that owns it is an nft shill so I hope it’s worthless, and I say that loving Wu Tang
Gotta be real, why would you as a fan want anything other than that album to be freely available for everyone to listen to?
I don’t think I do want it to be unavailable, I guess I am just uncomfortable with anything Wu tang put out to be considered worthless. I suppose they already got their bag for it though
Just because something is free of charge doesn’t mean it isn’t worth anything.
I’d consider the air I breathe to be pretty valuable.
THAT Veronica Vaughn is one hot piece of ayyyce. I know from experience.
No you don’t.
All ace’s are hot. The fun part is we don’t want to have sex with NOT_RICK because we’re ace. That’s the part of their post to disagree with, they don’t know from experience.
No fucking shit
God be has an incredibly punchable face
This just in, shocking news folks, piece of shit Pharma bro is still a piece of shit…
It’s kind of funny though. This guy was shitty but like… A 2/10 compared to Elon. Some of the shit he did was funny in an obnoxious trollish way. Fuck me but I wish he was the worst we had to deal with currently.
He’s a POS for sure, but this whole case seems like they’re trying to blame him for them not doing their DD. He a) owned a 50% stake in the copyright, and a judge found that gave him permission to make and distribute copies as he sees fit, b) He said quite publicly that distributing it was his intent, c) He didn’t try to hide the fact that he distributed it, and d) all that happened before his conviction. It should have been plainly obvious that there were physical and digital copies made and distributed before the auction took place.
I mean, everyone has a type. Even Manson had a fanclub.
Still, 🤮.
I mean, I don’t think I’m getting a fanclub any time soon lol
Imagine needing to give women someone else’s mix tape to get them to have sex with you.
Tragic and sad.
I handed girls my mix tapes in the 80s and they were all someone else’s work. Get on my level!
With all the money he has too ridiculous
You just roasted like half the music industry
Haha, amazing burn! Second hand street cred.
So where can I stream it?
That’s what I’m screaming. If “50 chicks” have a copy, where’s the leakage? Mean to tell me none of them gave up the MP3s, not even for cold cash? None of them bragged and got made an offer?!
And here we see the obvious issues with conspiracies…
Yeah, given that they were probably high dollar prostitutes. The first thing they’d do is call TMZ…
They’d prefer sex worker, prozzi has a real negative connotation
They’ll prefer what the customer wants them to prefer
All I’ve found so far is 1 seedless torrent and a couple clips of it playing on his stream :/
It’s on their ipods
So in a bunch of e-waste graveyards
You’d be crazy to throw a good iPod away
I absolutely agree but I feel like the Venn diagram of “throws a good iPod away” and “chicks that Martin shkreli is texting” will form an eclipse, if not a perfect circle
Pretend to be a girl well enough and he’ll send it to you.
Sounds a lot more expensive than regular prostitutes
God what a twatwaffle.
Back in my Reddit days, as soon as it was posted that he bought this thing, about 1000000000000000 comments on every post of this news article postulated that he would do exactly this.
Like, duh
The fact that Wu Tang made this thing is gross. Fuck that art collector bullshit.
Article said that they made it as a statement about the value drop in art because of digital markets. I hadn’t known that, so I kinda respected it more than before I knew that.
Seems like motivated reasoning to me. Making a statement while leaving most of the people who made you, poor folk who like your music, without the music but you with millions of Pharma Bro Dollars.
From wikipedia
“It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much. The process of the thing being made was never told to us. We were never told what it was. It was never supposed to be a Wu-Tang album. We were recording and being paid to do a certain amount of records by a guy whose name I don’t want to mention. He took all these verses—some of them were old verses—and put them altogether into a compilation of Wu-Tang songs and marketed it as a Wu-Tang album, and a single copy of a Wu-Tang album. We all had a problem with it because that’s not how it was described to us.”
—Method Man in 2024 on recording Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.
The statement would be to make the album and then not sell it to the next rich cunt.
I think it was RZA and some dude named Silvaringz or some shit that made the decision without the rest of wu-tang approving. And they were not happy.
It was a money grab with an album that they all admit is shit. I can’t really be mad at them for openly grifting a piece of trash like Shkreli.
