I wonder if his one-of-a-kind Wu Tang Clan album will be auctioned off? That could give another chance at a crowdfunded purchase.

Or maybe the Wu should assemble, ninja their way in and recover it. I think I heard there was a contract provision for that.

That's the sub-human that bought the rights to a life saving drug that was selling for $13.50/pill and jacked the price to $750/pill? Oh I'm sure he will be treated fairly if he gets to the general population in some federal facility.
In reply to Mike:
I think that was shown to be a hoax. Funny though.
I'd say something about how not all publicity is good publicity but the charges predate the price hike. I think the guy is just a sociopath but the timing is pretty interesting.
OK, the kid is scum, but how did he raise millions in capital, with no background in anything and only in his 20s? How stupid are the really rich anyway? I think I smell an opportunity here...hey rich people, give me your money!
dig into his background.. he likes emo.. lots and lots of emo..
boo for him.
Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothin to berk with.
Just saying.

Saw that last night and went to bed with a smile feeling maybe things do catch up to Bob Costas in the end.

You may me think of this (NSFW):
Wu Tang Financial
couldn't happen to a nicer guy
From the news report that I heard on NPR yesterday afternoon, he's a straight up con artist/ ponzi scheme architect.
Sadly, seizure of personal property was not in the subpoena that was served yesterday, so The Wu is still in his possession, for now.....
I was thinking he'd painted a big target on his back when he raised the price of the pills like that, but I thought it would only be generic drug manufacturers taking potshots at it.
