Martin Shkreli copied his $2M Wu-Tang album and sent it to "50 different chicks"

I honestly didn't expect such an interesting legal story from the title.

* When the government seized physical property to pay for the legal judgement, did they also legally seize the intellectual property, i.e. Shkreli's interest in the copyright? I assume so, but it's not explicit.

* How does this supposed "50 percent of the copyrights" work? Does that mean PleasrDAO also only owns "50%"? Does that give them the right to grant licenses or pursue infringers, or not?

IANAL but if the IP was seized, then it seems PleasrDAO now owns it (or 50% or whatever) and Shkreli does not, so he's infringing if he makes additional copies or "performs" his non-seized copies for others.

On the other hand, multiple entities (government, auction purchaser, PleasrDAO, everyone who did business with them) may have misrepresented the rarity of asset related to the thing they were selling, and that's a problem for them to fight over. For copies already made, they have no grounds to try to seize them.
