Tangent: Well -- This Is... SILLY. One Cannot Sue People NOT Involved In a Federal Suit Via A "Counterclaim."

The able USDC Judge Chen in Brooklyn already ruled that the various members of the Wu- collective -- ones Mr. Shkreli has tried to mire in this -- his thefts -- are utterly. . . unavailing. That is the law of the case.

He was denied the right to add them as "necessary parties" last month. They are not necessary -- in fact, they are complete strangers to the USDC order of forfeiture, under which PleasrDAO paid for, and took -- all that Martin ever had -- in any form, as to the Shaolin materials.

But in Quixotic fashion overnight, Martin Shkreli has filed what he calls a counterclaim -- but he actually purports to sue new parties. In sum, various members of the Wu-. [That, to belabor the obvious, he cannot do, under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In order to do it, he must file and serve an entirely new suit -- directly against the Wu- members. That he WILL NOT do. Thus, this is just a[nother] smoke screen.]

He alleges the Wu- members had no right to sell "his" interests. . . in this work.

That is preposterous, on its face.

He lost everything he ever had, here -- upon his conviction. When he could not pay the then ~$10 million he owed (now ballooned by other judgments to over ~$69 million), the court ordered all his right title and interest in the Shaolin [the sole copy of the Wu- work], also, a Picasso and an original "Enigma machine", among other things, sold. And. . . they were all sold off, by the US Marshals years ago.

After that, Martin Shkreli tried to sell [on eBay!] other bootleg copies -- and held "listening parties" and claimed he had stashed bootlegs, in safes around the world -- all while he was in prison in rural Pennsylvania.

He is flirting with going back up the river, here.

What an idiot.
