And, much to our dismay, it turns out "Bill Murray’s not in the contract" to carry out a heist of the album.
Producing wizard RZA has been speaking about selling the extremely rare Wu Tang LP to Martin Shkreli.
In fact, the album, entitled Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, that Shkreli purchased for $2 million, is the only copy in existence.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV's John Heilemann, RZA seemed nonchalant about the sale of the record, to one of the internet's most despised men.
"He bought it, he can do what he wants. The beautiful thing about art, from my standpoint, is that it has no discrimination," RZA said.
Even if the de facto Wu Tang leader isn't enamoured with Shkreli purchasing the record, he remains positive. "What we've done is historical, and you can't remove that."

He added, "If Mr. Shkreli feels philanthropic, he has the power to do something really cool, you know what I mean? He could do something that would allow more people to hear the record."
Maybe Martin Shkreli will indulge his munificent side in the future. However, we won't be holding our breath for the generosity to start pouring out of a man, who hiked up aids medicine 5000%.
Rza also debunked one of the rumoured clauses in the contract for Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. The apparent clause stated that, a well known comedic actor could steal back the LP anytime in the next 88 years. Unfortunately, RZA stated for the record that, "Bill Murray’s not in the contract."
