Martin Shkreli, the man most well known for increasing the price of daraprim from $13.50 to $750 in 2015, has kept his promise about releasing a rare album from the Wu-Tang Clan, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, if Donald Trump would win this year's election.  It was in 2014, that the Wu-Tang Clan announced that their next album would only have one copy with 31 songs to it.  Originally a secret, Martin Shkreli was the man who won the bid to the album's which sold for $2 million.


Shkreli has shown support for Bernie Sanders throughout the year but after he was out of the race Shkreli told his followers on Twitter, "If someone put a gun to my head and made me vote, I would vote Trump over Hillary.  If you think thats an endorsement, knock yourself out."  On October 27th, he finally took to Twitter to say that he would released the Wu-Tang music over a period of time if Trump actually won the election.  He has kept the promise and plan to release more of the album through his live streams in the future.
