Shkreli Loses $15M in Bitcoin with Kanye Album Scam
 

Get out your tiny violins. Martin Shkreli, the man America loves to hate, appears to have lost $15 million in bitcoins after he tried to buy the rights to Kanye Westâ??s new album.


The now-ex-CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, who hiked the price of HIV medication by 5,000 percent, was trying to buy Kanye Westâ??s album from his record label so he could sell it on to his fans.

In an outcome that proves karma can be a b*tch sometimes, Shkreli got scammed into virtually handing over thousands of bitcoins to someone pretending to be â??Kanyeâ??s boyâ?�.


On Sunday, Shkreli tweeted that he had sent the payment to someone called Daquan and didnâ??t receive anything in return. Shreli proceeded to lose his s**t, throwing a Twitter tantrum.

In the midst of his angry tweets, he even said, â??I quit rap.â?�

If he follows through on that threat, it would be great news for fans and artists of the genre who were outraged when he bought the only copy of Wu Tang Clanâ??s single Once Upon a Time in Shaolin for $2 million.

Lol hilarious.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha

I've been watching his live video feeds at 2-14-16 - Spreecast

read some of his tweets...

"SOMEONE NAMED DAQUAN SAID HE WAS KANYES BOY AND I SIGND THE DEAL TO BUY PALBO AND SENT THE BITCOIN. CALL THE POLICE THIS IS BULSHIT"

"Also, idiots, I've gotten in touch with Sitoshi (Bitcoin's creator) and he's agreed to help me get my money back. I always win."

"Anyone using my leaked credit card is being backtraced and prosecuted. Congratulations, you played yourself. Shubhan Jain, you first."



what a tool... even the worst gfy idiots coming off a week long meth bender wouldn't melt down like that...

That's real? Sounds like he is purposely trying to be funny. All he missed was "you dun goofed."

Pathetic.

It would have been better if the album got lost instead

Pathetic attempt at PR rehab

Hope this is real but doubt it.

Interesting....

Why does he broadcast himself? I just tuned in and all he is doing is sitting their using his computer and picking his nose.

Wow..

funny....

Money in motion

This guy is going down. He's under indictment and now just a few days ago a story came out about the IRS hitting him with a $4.6 million tax lien.

Martin Shkreli hit with $4.6M IRS tax lien

And even after all that, there is going to be a stack of even more lawsuits as more of his prior investors come after him.

I read he's got $50 million in his etrade account alone. Fucking nutty guys like this guy.

so a guy who has the entire world coming after him for fraud, "loses" $15,000,000 in bitcoins by doing what has to be the dumbest thing ever for someone in the high end of the financial world, documents his "stupidity" for some reason and posts the video online. Sounds legit. Why would he make something like this up? It's not like he just hid $15,000,000 in an untraceable currency from creditors or something.

oh... wait....

His twitter reads like a rich cunt who just had the taste for Yayo and doing to much LOLOL

In other news Kenya is less than broke

Kanye West Says He'''s $53 Million in Debt, Asks Mark Zuckerberg for Help - NBC News

The two losers sound like a match made in heaven.

bunch of gfy idiots.
Shkreli didn't lose anything he's just trolling
Kanye isn't broke either, again, trolling.
Congratulation, you've played yourself.

That cunt needs to have his pubes pulled out one by one with plyers while being forced to actually listen to Kanye's shitty "music."

you're more the R. Kelly type I'm guessing huh? :error

Such a likeable guy.. :disgust

That was based on stock he had in his company, which stock prices have dropped drastically. He used that as his collateral for bail. He might need to use another account as that one has dropped drastically. There are articles in the paper somewhere about it.

classic Daquan :1orglaugh

Now, why would anyone want to sell Kanye's album... I just can't stand that guy.

Nice news!!!

Lol lol lol

He could be just hiding his money. Sorry judge, I got ripped off.

I can envision the face of the judge when he tries to insult the courts intelligence with this bullshit story LOL
