Also the FBI have confirmed they didn't seize the album so anyone close to Martin could've got a hold of the album while he was in jail. He does have a reddit ama You must login or register to view this content. however no photos have been shown to confirm he does have the album so this is still questionable.

The Twitter account of Martin Shkreli, the man who bought the only copy of Wu Tang Clan's album 'Once Upon A Time In Shaolin' and was recently arrested by the FBI for stock fraud, has been reportedly hacked.

Shkreli recently made headlines by buying the rights to life-saving drug Daraprim and increasing the cost from $13.50 a pill to $750. He then went on to purchase Wu-Tang Clan's 'Once Upon A Time In Shaolin' double album, of which just one copy exists, for $2 million (£1.3 million).

At this point I wouldn't put your hopes up too much, but in this age I wouldn't put it pass anyone something like this will get leaked Martin has to have people close to him that have access to his house and could easily put the album on their computer and upload it without him knowing.

Honestly my hopes aren't too high. I fuck with Wu Tang but their last album "A Better Tomorrow" was kind of ehh so I don't even know how good this one is even though it's really hyped up because of the bullshit stunt they pulled with it.

Its a double disc album that was secretly recorded over the past few years thats really about it, pretty much this was a market stunt to make a 1 of a kind album that most of the world won't hear ever till maybe today. When he bought the album he had to sign a contract saying he wouldn't share the album he has to keep it on lock for 88 years. I am pretty sure the contract also said any of the current wu-tang clan members could perform a heist to get the album back.

"The buying party also agrees that at any time during the stipulated 88 year period, the seller may legally plan and attempt to execute one (1) heist or caper to steal back Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which, if successful, would return all ownership rights to the seller. Said heist or caper can only be undertaken by currently active members of the Wu-Tang Clan and/or actor Bill Murray, with no legal repercussions."

According to his twitter, looks like we should be expecting it about 6:30 to 7:00 EST if he's legit. Honestly I doubt it though.

I mean I am sure he has people watching him right now setting a time is a stupid move. The minute he drops that link its all going to be shut down quick. He has made alot of noise from this which I am used to this from leakers usually means they are lieing just to get the attention they want for all we know this is Martin or Wu-Tang messing around with us all getting us hyped for nothing. I see a few hip hop blogs hitting him up for interviews I am sure he loves all of that attention. If it does happen good luck getting a link I am sure it will get shut down quick.
