I endorse the pitting, but I can’t really get behind the desire for people to be raped (complete with the seemingly mandatory reference to Bubba). That’s better suited to the cesspool of newspaper comment sections. ---

Figuratively. Wishing harm on another, particularly prison rape, is poor form. ---

Does his having bought the Wu-Tang Clan album for $2 million mean that the album is officially double platinum? ---

Actually, given the season, it sounds like the beginning of a modern holiday tale: Big hedge fund manager makes huge bucks by raising pharma prices, gets in trouble, loses everything, goes to jail, gets ill, now can’t afford the medicine he needs. I’d watch that. ---

They put it in a silver box and gave hearings at museums in such, as statement about music being a form of art. The buyer also gets digital copies of the music (so the art will not be disturbed), and is free to release them for free to the public if they so desire. Skrelli, of course, has no such desire. He seems to revel in pissing people off. I actually expect that going to jail may be a good thing for him, as he might’ve wound up dead otherwise. He’s almost certainly a sociopath. ---

Wu Tang Clan is a rather famous hip hop collective. Here is the deal on the $2 million album: > **[RZA Says Multi-Million Offers Have Already Come In For Wu-Tang Clan’s Secret...](https://www.okayplayer.com/news/wu-tang-to-release-and-sell-one-copy-of-secret-album.html)** > > UPDATE: RZA has relayed to Billboard magazine that multiple multi-million dollar offers have already come in for the Wu-Tang Clan's secret '1 of 1' album. Speaking via phone from Los Angeles Tuesday, The Abbot told Billboard: "Offers came in at $2... And yes Fuck Shkreli, he actually stated that his justification for raising the price so much was that it should always cost a minimum amount to save a life, around $450,000USD, never mind that it costs pennies to manufacture and is long out of patent. Insurance will pay that much to have their life saved so we should charge it. He truly deserves pitting except that most likely he’s a genuine sociopath so has no actual idea why his business plan is so offensive to everyone. ---
