Wu-Tang rapper RZA thinks the story of Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli being sentenced to seven year’s incarceration for securities fraud deserves a Hollywood ending. “He had a pretty wild life, totally Lex Luthor ... a bad superhero life,” RZA told videographer Adam Glyn. Following his August 2017 conviction, Shkreli was ordered to forfeit $7.4 million in assets in March, including a painting by Pablo Picasso and a one-of-a-kind double CD by the Wu-Tang Clan called “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.” He purchased the recording for $2 million in 2015. RZA’s bandmate Ghostface Killah called for the album to be made public after it was revealed that Shkreli had obtained rights to the AIDS fighting drug Daraprim and raised its price from $13 per pill to $750. That kicked off a feud between the Staten Island rappers and Brooklyn-born businessman. “That s--thead,” … [Read more...] about RZA wants to see a Wu-Tang Clan versus Martin Shkreli movie
