Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had “burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks”—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.

I find that statement suspect.

      It’s kind of funny though. This guy was shitty but like… A 2/10 compared to Elon. Some of the shit he did was funny in an obnoxious trollish way. Fuck me but I wish he was the worst we had to deal with currently.

      He’s a POS for sure, but this whole case seems like they’re trying to blame him for them not doing their DD. He a) owned a 50% stake in the copyright, and a judge found that gave him permission to make and distribute copies as he sees fit, b) He said quite publicly that distributing it was his intent, c) He didn’t try to hide the fact that he distributed it, and d) all that happened before his conviction. It should have been plainly obvious that there were physical and digital copies made and distributed before the auction took place.
