Martin Shkreli, the shamed former drugs baron who unscrupulously hiked the price of life-saving medicines, appears to have fallen victim to a multi-million dollar Bitcoin fraud.

Over the weekend, Shkreli approached rapper Kanye West on Twitter with an offer of $10m to become sole owner of his upcoming album.

It appears behind-the-scenes negotiations between Shkreli and a person purporting to represent the 'Gold Digger' star began soon after.

Things quickly took a turn for the worse when Shkreli alleged his credit card information had been leaked and as much as $15m in Bitcoin stolen by the fraudsters.

Bitcoin trader Nelson Muntz says:

1. i smell a rat

2. Two of the most loathsome pieces of shit in bed together?

Something ain't right.

West claims that he's $53 million in debt and want's $1biilion from Mark Zuckerberg, because hes
the greatest performer ever (living or dead), now this BS from Shkreli.

Sounds like some sort of troll or publicity stunt to me.

4. Pay no attention to those attention whores over there.

Actually, Shkreli and Kanye are both deluded birds of a feather -- maybe they should pool their nonexistent resources.

3. Hip-hop's answer to Perez Hilton explains it all for you

I think it's a stealth insanity defense for his upcoming trial myself. An investment bank is going to back someone under indictment and has been ousted from TWO companies AND let him pay in bitcoin -- really? Whatever cash he has is probably in escrow, courtesy of the fancy lawyer he hired!
