When it was revealed controversial Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli (aka Pharma Bro) had bought the one and only copy in existence of Wu-Tang Clan's album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin the world thought 'huh, that's interesting'.

When it came out that the guy once dubbed "the most hated man in America" paid almost $US2 million for it - probably from the profits of hiking up a cheap antiparasitic drug by more than 5000 per cent - it seemed like "yeah, welp, everything is awful".

Yet there may be a silver lining to this spoils of the rich story, with a stipulation in the buying contract that being reported on Twitter.

User Rob Wesley says he's discovered some interesting detail in the fine print of the contract which reads: "The buying party also agrees that at any time during the stipulated 88 year period, the seller may legally plan and attempt to execute one (1) heist or caper to steal back Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which, if successful, would return all ownership rights to the seller."

But what for it, it gets better: "Said heist or caper can only be undertaken by currently active members of the Wu-Tang Clan and/or actor Bill Murray, with no legal repercussions."

Whether this contract is legit or not remains to be seen, but hot damn if it doesn't make a great plot for a movie.
