Before the album of 1017 “The Saga Continues” The Wu-Tang in 2015 released only one copy of their album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin“. The only copy of the album had been purchased by the discussed Martin Shkreli, former manager of speculative funds and owner of a pharmaceutical company, for 2 million dollars (just less in euros), which was later reported for transmitting Illegally the album in livestreaming.

In fact, Shkreli purchased the album based on a legal agreement that provided that the album could not be commercially exploited until 2103, even if it could be played during the listening parties. Shkreli played clips of the album during a livestream in 2017 despite the restrictions, then tried to sell the album on Ebay – and received an offer of 1.2 million dollars, but the sale has never been completed.

In the end he was forced to deliver the album following his sentence for financial fraud, when a federal court seized assets for 7.4 million dollars (5.8 million pounds).
