Martin Shkreli Compares Himself to GZA, Plays Wu-Tang Clan Album During 'Vice' Interview

During an interview with Vice, pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli talks about his securities fraud charges and his famous medication cost gouging and even plays that Wu-Tang Clan album he purchased out of sight.

After a brief session of chess, Shkreli and Vice journalist Allie Conti sit and talk about the Wu-Tang record in its embellished packaging, of which he obtained the solitary duplicate a year ago. Shkreli looks at himself to GZA, saying, "I think by and by I see the GZA and me as like… it sounds senseless. I see him in me and I trust the other way around. He's similar to the researcher rapper."

Whenever inquired as to whether the world will ever hear the full collection, Shkreli is undecided. "Other than at this moment, it depends. It relies on upon the world. I can see myself in reality as we know it where I break it, and I've genuinely considered that. Snap it into equal parts and cover the remaining parts so nobody tries to recreate it," he tels Conti. "I've seen a world where I give it away for nothing and I've seen a world where I charge for it. In the event that individuals need to hear it, I'll put it out. In the event that they would prefer not to hear it, on the off chance that they don't welcome the Wu-Tang for what I think it is, that is fine as well."

He finishes up: "Who knows? Perhaps the feds will claim it soon."
