Martin Shkreli, a shady pharmaceutical tycoon, may have been defrauded of $15 million in Bitcoin

Notorious black-hearted pharmaceutical tycoon Martin Shkreli recently made entertainment news again. According to him, a man named "Daquan" cheated him out of about $15 million in Bitcoin.

Last Sunday, Shkreli contacted a person named "Daquan", who was allegedly a friend of rap superstar Kanye West. The other party could help him get Kanye's unreleased new album "The Life of Pablo" in exchange for $15 million in Bitcoin. After completing the transaction, Shkreli @ed music publishers such as Spotify and Apple Music, saying that the starting bid for this album was $25 million and he wanted to make a fortune.

Shkreli found himself fooled (13,000 retweets):

Then he sent another tweet, trying to get the money back, and he started cursing again (7,600 retweets):

Then he thought of calling the police = = (14,000 retweets):

After that, he started talking nonsense again, and even said:

“Silly, I’ve been in touch with Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of Bitcoin) and he’s agreed to help me get the money back. I always win.”

(Obviously not many people believe this, 604 retweets)

Shkreli's name first came into the public eye when the media reported that his company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, raised the price of an anti-AIDS drug called pyrimethamine. The original price of pyrimethamine was $13.50 per tablet, and after acquiring the production rights of the drug, the company raised the price of each tablet to $750 overnight. Although Shkreli has defended himself, this behavior has been despised by many people.

In addition, Wu-Tang Clan previously sold their unique "Once Upon A Time In Shaolin" album to Shkreli for $2 million.

Not long after, news came from Kanye West that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg invested $1 billion in him.
