Paging @cilvaringz
Does the new owner have the right to capitalize on the album?
I take it legally speaking the terms and conditions of the contract with Shkrellz are now null and void
Will we get to hear it? Who knows. I wonder if a record company (or its parent company) shelled out for this
could be a private buyer too I guess ... maybe even RZA and/or Cilvaringz

Quote:
Earlier today, the United States sold the sole copy of the Wu-Tang Clan album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” (the “Album”) which had previously been ordered to be forfeited as a substitute asset in connection with the approximately $7.4 million forfeiture money judgment (Forfeiture Money Judgment) entered against Shkreli at his March 2018 sentencing. Proceeds from the sale of the Album will be applied to satisfy the outstanding balance owed on the Forfeiture Money Judgment. The contract of sale contains a confidentiality provision that protects information relating to the buyer and price.
I (mis)interpreted that as in the FBI can't say who bought it, but the buyer can come forward of his own volition? Or does that confidentiality work both ways?
I took it as, although the government has to release the information of the sale to the public, this is why the information of who bought it was not included.
Far as the various terms regarding the album, it seems like it just transfers to the new buyer:
Quote:
The Album is subject to various restrictions, including those relating to the duplication of its sound recordings.
I do not give a damn who bought it or how much it sold for, I just want to know can it be released now or not
Surely whoever bought it must be cool because firstly who’s gonna fork out all that cash in the first place if they’re not a true Wu fan? and secondly be a jerk about after the whole Shkreli debacle?
Looks promising though?
Interesting being a governmental transaction that it is anonymous… in price and buyer.
i think whoever bought it will leak it for that reason alone.
/wishful thinking
How long did we have to wait 88 years? LOL this is gonna get leaked someday
Good news!
6 years later... still headlining every major media outlet.. what a story
The buyer likely put the confidentiality provision in place rather than the Gov. Sorry guise this is likely sitting in some hedge fund managers safe right now. Lawyer representing the buyer is from New York so read into that what you will...
It will be interesting to see who reveals himself.
the cd probably has that z-list wu tang groupie @cilvaringz rambling about eating golf clubs over crunk music beats
thats the only reason why theres a 88 year wait...wu tang wouldnt give a fuck if it got leaked
Could be Elon Musk..
No. I’m 99% sure that it’s a fucking banger that may or may not have questionable sample clearances. ;)
The album is full of uncleared samples. Wu-tang will be in trouble if the album get leaked.
Unless the sample is noticeable who the hell has the time to go through an album and notice that shit?
What if Skrillex actually did buy it this time?
:O
Nah M-80 already said not him. Peace

Given the hashtags - isn't the announcement just going to be about Season 2 of American Saga on Hulu?
^^Probably
Maybe. But marketing folks know to throw your hashtags in every iG post.
From that article I assumed it was Rza?
In the end I think the project was great for the Wu brand and gave them a ton of free press and have always given you credit as a great Wu producer. Disagree with how it was released because I want to hear it. Even back to your beat sessions.
Sorry bro. Just butthurt to be honest. I want to see this album released because I’m 100% sure it’s flames.
I don’t think you are a con artist or some shit just how the project was released I wasn’t happy with as a singular fan. I read the book. Etc. I’ll never be happy about it but that’s just my opinion 🤙
I’m just a long time fan going back to the DSC. you’ve lived the dream. 👐
Be mad about one like on a LA The Darkman IG post. You’re on my top unskipable list bruh. I honestly don’t even remember that and had to look back at it.
