Tangent | Denouement: Just As We Said -- The Able USDC Judge Chen Has Ruled Martin Shkreli's Latest Claims "Non-Suited". Heh.

Just four elapsed days later -- Mr. Shkreli's supposed "counter-claims" against various Wu- parties. . . are DOA. In Brooklyn, USDC Judge Chen has saved PleasrDAO the wasted time of responding to them.

Just as we said. Under the federal rules of civil procedure, one cannot bring "counterclaims" against non-parties. Here's that -- Martin is utterly. . . out of runway:

. . .ORDER:

The Court is in receipt of Defendant Shkreli's [63] Answer. The Court notes that Shkreli raises purported "counterclaims" against Robert "RZA" Diggs and Tarik "Cilvaringz" Azzougarh. However, counterclaims can only be asserted against an opposing party -- here, the only one is PleasrDao. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 13(a)–(b).

Furthermore, to the extent Shkreli intended to assert cross-claims, those can only made as to co-defendants, of which there are none here. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 13(g) ("A pleading may state as a crossclaim any claim by one party against a coparty. . . .").

Ordered by Judge Pamela K. Chen on 2/6/2026. . . .

I predict Martin will never take the time and money to file an entirely new suit against the Wu parties. He knows it is a loser, no matter what.

He transferred all he ever had and all he ever will have, under that old purchase agreement to the US Marshals when he failed to pay his felony post-conviction fines and restitution amounts.

It is gone -- as a matter of black letter law, Martin.

O U T.
