For those of you who don't know, or don't remember, Shkreli is the Wall Street jackass who raised the price of a vital HIV/AIDS medication by 5000%. He is literally profiting off of human pain, sadness, and death. For that reason, nothing makes me happier than this story.
[quote]Price-hiking pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli has made bizarre claims that he's been scammed out of $15million when he tried to exclusively buy Kanye's new album.
Shkreli - who famously increased the cost of AIDs drugs by 5,000 per cent - had recently posted on Twitter a letter sent to the rapper offering him $10 million to release The Life of Pablo, solely to him.[/quote][quote]
Unsurprisingly West ignored the 'pharma bro's' offer and released his new album last night after his Saturday Night Live appearance.
But within minutes of Kanye's album being released - Shkreli appears to have gone into full Twitter meltdown - revealing that he believed he had bought The Life of Pablo for 37,000 bitcoins worth $15 million.[/quote][quote]He claimed to have signed a deal to buy the album with a man named Daquan, who said he 'rolled' with Kanye, and had transferred the cash.
In a series of panicked tweets after the album release, he demanded to know: 'Who the f*** has my fifteen million dollars??
'I need my money back this isn't a f***ing joke WTF.[/quote]
Thank you, Daquan, for making my Valentine's Day complete.
