Dinner at the Deuce
Ryan Wedding
Ryan "The Giant” Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder who never quite got the gold, found a new race to run—this time, to the top of the drug world. Ryan quickly learned that the high-stakes game of drugs moves just as fast as the slopes—only with more money and fewer doping tests. Now, instead of carving turns for medals, he's managing a multi-million-dollar operation. Can a man who's fast on the slopes outrun the FBI and rival cartels? It's a high-speed chase with no finish line!

0:18
House K Jack 7.
All right, fellas, welcome.
0:28
We just had a steaming conversation just before the podcast.
We're all I'm all wound up now.
0:34
Nobody's wound up.
I'm all hot in the pants ready to do this podcast.
0:38
My, I think we're going to enjoy this one.
It's a little different than we normally do.
0:43
It's more current, and I think you guys are going to have some funny shit and some funny thoughts
about this guy and the things that he's done.
0:55
Yes.
So first I'd like to start by welcoming everyone.
1:01
Pull up a chair, grab a plate.
It's time for dinner at the Deuce.
1:05
Welcome.
I'm your host, Víctor García, host to the left, crazy Rob Anders, my host to the right, fancy Lance
1:13
Carlson.
Howdy.
1:15
All right, fellas.
So what we're not going to talk about is politics.
1:19
We just fucking kick that dead horse into the ground.
So let's talk about Ryan Wedding.
1:27
Have you guys heard of him first of all?
Never heard of him.
1:29
Rob.
I have only heard of them from what you emailed me.
1:33
Oh, so.
So even when you read what I emailed, you didn't spark anything?
1:36
No.
OK, so I've heard about this, but I didn't know much.
1:42
And once I started reading, I was like, OK, we got to definitely fucking do this.
Like this is in America at least this is a super rare occurrence.
1:53
So anyway, Ryan wedding, let's get to him.
So Ryan wedding was born September 14th 1981 in Ontario, Canada.
2:03
His dad was a high level engineer, his mom was a nurse and he has two sisters.
The entire family, bunch of very intelligent people, worldly.
2:16
And I'll, I'll get to that in a second.
But they both speak French and English.
2:20
All the kids, the family, good people.
Ryan, as you can imagine, LED a pretty charmed life.
2:28
His parents had money and were able to fund sports like snowboarding, for instance, for him, which
we know, especially if you're going to be on the snow every day, all those things.
2:38
It's not.
Yeah, it's not cheap, right?
2:40
No.
So he grew up in Coquel Tam.
2:43
Coquel Tam.
Coquel Tam.
2:47
Something somewhere in British Columbia.
Canadia.
2:51
That's right.
Good day mate.
2:53
His grandparents.
So this kind of gives you a little idea into the into the money.
2:58
His grandparents owned Mount Baldy ski resort.
OK.
3:02
Baldy, have you guys heard of that?
Yes, I actually have.
3:05
Have you really?
Yeah, because it's in California.
3:07
Of course I have.
Well, Canadia's.
3:12
Canadia Fornia.
Yeah, yeah, they they come down to the United States quite often.
3:16
Yeah, for sure.
It's.
3:17
Warmer down here, it turns out.
It's in California near the Angeles National Forest.
3:22
Apparently it's Southern California's closest ski resort.
So it, you know, it's, it's nice you to own it.
3:30
You got to be someone with money.
I know that for sure.
3:33
And so I do kind of get the vibe I might be wrong, that he kind of comes from not just money, but
old money.
3:40
So generational wealth.
Yes, absolutely.
3:44
Ryan started snowboarding at 12 years old.
He took to the sport quickly, although he was pretty much good at every sport that he touched.
3:52
He was into more X game like sports, but snowboarding was the one for sure that you go OK this kids
good.
4:00
He won a bronze medal in the parallel giant slalom at the 1999 Junior World Championships and a
silver medal at the 2001 Junior World Championships.
4:12
So I don't know shit about skiing.
What the fuck is a parallel giant slalom?
4:17
I think those are the ones that go like eighty, 8090 miles an hour.
I think they're cruising.
4:23
Oh, those are the fast ones that are cutting, cutting.
In and out, in and out.
4:26
Very steep grade.
OK, so the real deal.
4:29
The real deal.
Yeah, their faces are like, right, the opposite of Shaun White.
4:33
OK, so that's what he did and he was, he was really fucking good in 2002.
So like I said, he won the silver medal in the Junior World championships in O one in 2002.
4:45
He represented Canada in the Canada in the Salt Lake Olympics.
Get this.
4:50
I guess, I don't know, I guess it could be anything, but I always had this vision of snowboarders
that were maybe a little smaller, more mobile.
4:57
He's 63, 240 and chiseled.
Like, yeah, shredded.
5:02
At least he was at the time.
Certainly for like freestyle X game style, like Shaun White, yeah.
5:08
It's certainly.
Small helpful to be smaller, but I would think if you're going to the straight line or.
5:12
Yeah, more or less.
He he's better be strong, He's a.
5:16
Big big dude and and shredded like I said so.
But either way, that's a lot of weight to put to push around.
5:23
For sure.
So he competed in the, like I said, in the men's parallel giant slalom.
5:28
He finished 24th overall in that Olympics.
They nicknamed him the giant.
5:35
And I would say, you know, if you start doing kind of the simple Gazintas with, you know, living in
a nice place in Canada, your family owns a ski resort.
5:48
This guy's young, shredded probably, you know, women are probably not an issue for this dude.
He hits the Olympics.
5:54
He's literally got the world by the balls.
You couldn't there's I couldn't think of much more at that age to where you're not like, man, my
6:05
fucking life's good.
So this is also the beginning of the crazy winding Rd. that Ryan would follow that took him from an
6:15
Olympic athlete to the FB is most wanted list.
That's.
6:20
A That's a pendulum.
It is quite the fucking pendulum.
6:24
So after the Olympics, Ryan decided to try his hand at college.
He his parents had set up a trust for him, so they had the he had the money for college and he went
6:36
to a place called Simon Fraser University.
He made it a couple years there before he dropped out.
6:44
But make no mistake, the guy was unbelievably intelligent.
But he was not for sure a schoolboy.
6:52
So Olympic skiing doesn't do so great in the Olympics, goes to college, college comes to a two year
end.
7:02
He did learn some valuable skills in college though that we're going to set him up through the rest
of his life through today.
7:09
He started to focus on the main skill he picked up in college, which was the purchasing and selling
of marijuana drug.
7:15
Dealer.
He, he, Yep, he ended up, that's truly how he got into it.
7:21
He just knew some friends that could get some stuff.
So he started selling to the college kids doing pretty good and, and things build.
7:30
So he really truly did start as a low level drug dealer who sold literally dime bags to college
students.
7:39
Like anything else in life, everything slowly progressed and low level went to mid level, mid level
went to high level.
7:49
The purchases got bigger, the drugs he was selling started to transition.
He was moving away from marijuana and starting to get towards the cocaine trail.
7:59
Truly is a gateway.
That's what they meant when they say gateway drug.
8:02
That's the gateway drug, yes.
The bridge to the white.
8:05
Pal, He's an entrepreneur.
He is an entrepreneur, that's a fact.
8:10
So in 2008 is when Ryan made, at least as far as the FBI is concerned, his big jump into what would
be considered the underbelly of the drug world.
8:24
Although Ryan was moving a lot of product in Canada, the main business hub for him was in LA.
And So what you're talking about right now is I believe what they called it because it also went out
8:40
of the country and really across the world, transcontinental drug trade I think is what they called
it.
8:46
But he's he's starting to transition to a big dog.
Yeah, so I'm reading here real quick and I don't know if you're going to hit on it.
8:53
It was interesting that he was arrested and you're going to mention all.
That OK, cool.
8:58
I won't step in your toes then, but.
So in 2008, he flew to LALAXLAX, all right, with an Iranian money launderer, a guy named Hassan
9:12
Shirari, and a Russian mobster named Michael Crap Chan.
This.
9:17
Chance that there were just buddies on Instagram.
Oh, 100% probably, I'm sure.
9:23
Happened to be at the same place at the same time.
Yeah, exactly.
9:26
So, so this guy Crap Chan, he's the owner of a Vancouver radio station and the vice president of the
Vancouver Russian Jew Association.
9:36
So I kind of chuckled because this fucking guy's Russian mobster is, you know, also on the, on the,
you know, the flip side of things, the Russian Jew association and, you know, a nice guy on one and
9:52
I guess and a mobster on the other, so.
That's what they have a picture when they put him on the FBI as America's Most Wanted.
9:58
They have a of him wearing a yarmulke going to show them you.
Know.
10:02
Like, hey, I was just.
A Jewish boy mitzvah.
10:05
Yeah, I'm getting screwed.
I'm getting framed, you see.
10:07
Yeah, you see.
So Hassan Shirari and Russian mobster Michael Krapchan, along with with Ryan Wedding, the plan was
10:16
to buy 24 kilos of coke from a former KGB agent, a guy named Yuri Trofinov.
Yuri at the time was considered a big player in the drug trade.
10:30
And when I say a big player, he was actually considered the godfather of a ring of former KGB and
Russian police officers transnational drug gang.
10:40
No.
Shit, yeah.
10:42
So this guy Yuri is a big.
He's a real deal.
10:45
He's the real deal.
Like Russian mob?
10:47
KGB dude.
Yeah, yeah.
10:48
Like, yeah.
The Russian.
10:49
Mob just he's.
Selling.
10:52
But 50 lbs.
That's really what it comes down to.
10:56
It doesn't sound like a lot.
Oh yeah, yeah, you're right, 20. 4 kilos, I don't know, roughly 50 lbs.
11:02
Yeah, crazy A.
Kilo's 2.2 lbs right?
11:05
So this trip's planned, right?
They're going to meet this old KGB guy and get the 24 kilos of coke.
11:12
Nothing on the trip when is planned in an FBI recorded phone call Trofanov, this is the the KGB guy
right who's selling the cocaine.
11:25
He assures this other guy that's with Ryan wedding crap Chan that the cocaine they were buying was
100% pure Colombian and it's available for pickup in LA right now.
11:37
This is on recorded line, right?
They get everything set up and they beat feet to LA.
11:45
Everything's rocky right from Jump Street with this thing, this guy crap.
Chan owed that guy Tafanov, the one selling the cocaine.
11:55
He owed him money for a real estate deal that they had got in together that went South.
And so the reason he was even doing this deal at all was to basically a payback, yeah, for what his
12:11
debt was.
And he said that he was worried that he was going to get what he said, taking care of the Russian
12:18
way.
And so he needed this deal to happen to basically keep his ass alive.
12:25
Exactly.
So on June 10th, 2008, they touched down in LA and they find this guy Trofanov waiting at the
12:34
terminal like he ain't fucking around.
He's there ready to roll.
12:38
Trofanov.
Yeah, exactly.
12:42
He immediately in the terminal asked for the money.
I want to see the fucking money, Wedding tells him.
12:49
And these are his exact words.
Hey, obviously I didn't put it in my fucking suitcase.
12:54
I chuckle because this is one of the things that they say about this guy wedding.
He was a big dude in stature.
13:00
He reminds me almost like of a Randy Coker Jim Collierish type build.
And you know people a lot of time don't even realize it, but they instantly will accept that person
13:11
as the alpha in the room before they've even heard a word out of their mouth.
He had that kind of impact when he met people.
13:19
So he's talking to this fucking KGB agent.
Yeah, who ain't used to be and talk to you like that?
13:24
And 100% so, so that takes it into it, right?
So this guy's like, who the fuck is this guy?
13:30
I don't give a fuck if you're 63, I'll shoot you right now.
In the middle.
13:34
Of the terminal exactly so get this not only does he tell him that he tells the guy Trofinov that
hey the deal's changed buddy he said we're going to buy 1K of cocaine from you I'm going to check it
13:46
out and if it's good I'll come back and get the other kilos from you after OK and so this guy's like
this motherfucker here but you're but you'll find out in a second why he didn't probably fucking
13:58
literally kill him in the.
Airport there, Yeah.
14:01
So what none of these guys knew at the time is that Trofanov was miked up and working undercover for
the FBI.
14:11
Yeah, I guarantee you he wanted to kill him and he probably.
Would have.
14:17
You are lucky son, because you'd be dead right now if I wasn't fucking working for the FBI.
So the FBI wanted to swoop right in right there and arrest him, but the trio actually did some semi
14:30
smart things in that they used.
You guys may have heard of this.
14:36
I never have an old.
It's literally considered an old ancient Iranian way to move money.
14:42
It's called hawala.
Have you ever heard of that, Rob?
14:46
Like HAWALA, Hawala basically what this is.
So they use this and it's going to take a few days to get the money because of this process, which
14:56
I'll explain in a second.
So the FBI can't jump in and bust them.
14:59
They actually need the physical transaction to happen, right?
So hawala, basically what that is, is in Iran.
15:10
And like I said, this started with ancient times.
They would basically have St. banks like someone that had money at point B and would trust the word
15:22
of someone who's at point A and would finance whatever it was that this person was asking for.
And so the money never actually moved or changed hands, if that makes sense.
15:35
Stolen.
Right.
15:36
Or tracked or tracked, right?
So criminals to this day use that method.
15:43
Yeah.
Really.
15:45
Yeah.
I'm going to.
15:46
I'm going to trust your good word, even though I'm a criminal.
Yeah, I I think at that level, you know, if my word isn't good, I'm dead.
15:54
Is that an Iranian fact that like if if one party didn't pay the other then think so one bank would
kill the other bank?
16:02
Or well, yeah, because they're not using bank is a very loose term.
Right.
16:06
Yeah, it's a These are fucking lower, Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
16:10
So they'd use this hawala form.
So three days later, Crap Chan meets with Troffenoff in San Diego.
16:19
He has $17,000 on him.
The transaction goes down and police swoop in and they make the arrests.
16:29
They storm the hotel.
They find 100K in a dresser that that guy Ryan Wedding had brought in to purchase the coke and they
16:39
end up getting charged with federal drug trafficking.
So in my mind, I hear that and I think big deal.
16:44
Like you're doing your fucking yeah good chunk of your life in prison, right?
Crap.
16:50
Chan ends up pleading guilty.
He gets sentenced to 30 months.
16:54
What is is that that?
Does that not seem light to you?
16:57
In California.
Extremely light.
16:59
In California.
And what year is this strike?
17:02
10 This is 2000 I.
Suppose it doesn't matter 2008 Either way, it's it's the same rules.
17:09
The only legal rules that have lightened is marijuana, but cocaine's been pretty much the.
Same 100% Yeah.
17:16
So this the Iranian guy?
He flips and spills the fucking beans on all.
17:21
Of them, I'll tell you whatever you want, yeah.
Whatever you have, what's the kid from?
17:25
Goodies.
Yeah, I chunk.
17:29
Yeah, Chunk.
One time.
17:30
Do the truffle shuffle.
And I made a sound like this.
17:36
So wedding was also found guilty.
But Ryan again, I told you guys about his stature and he he came from money.
17:46
He knew how to talk to people of of affluence and and connect with them.
So he puts on the charm and it's a female judge and he sells her on remorse on basically on this
17:59
good kid that just fucked up.
And you know, this is my second chance.
18:02
The whole deal.
She takes pity on him and sent sentences him to only 48 months in prison.
18:09
With time served, though, he was literally out because I think he spent two years waiting trial.
So with time served, he was literally let out like a few months after that trial.
18:19
So didn't didn't do a whole lot.
He got released in 2011.
18:24
The judge actually said this was his assessment of Ryan wedding.
He said The Olympian is The Olympian is not a kingpin, but another hapless person who was trying to
18:34
break into the drug trade and it didn't work out.
She couldn't have been more wrong.
18:39
She literally had what was soon to become a notorious drug Lord that she could have put away for
years that she let go.
18:51
Yeah.
So he goes to prison, like we said, for this very short period of time you would think most normal
18:59
people would go, especially someone like him who has opportunity.
Life isn't over for him, he can still do whatever.
19:05
He's rich, right?
He's still.
19:06
He's still.
Winning.
19:07
And he's still winning.
Yeah, well, that's the problem.
19:10
He goes to prison.
And during those two years, because of where he was at, the type of people that were being brought
19:16
in, he actually made a shit ton more connections and learned way better about the drug trade than he
knew before.
19:24
So he's in there thinking I can't wait till I come out because with the shit I know now, yeah, it's
on.
19:28
Knowledge is power.
Yeah, I'm going to be Pablo Escobar.
19:32
And he wasn't far off.
The Canadian Pablo Escobar.
19:35
Exactly.
Pablo Escobar a Did you?
19:37
See his nickname.
Oh, he's got a couple.
19:39
Which one?
Yeah, El Hefe.
19:41
Or the giant.
The giant?
19:42
Yep.
So I like.
19:44
The giant A.
So he comes out of of prison.
19:49
It's Canadian, right?
Yeah.
19:51
OK, good.
There you go.
19:52
Hey.
You know what they call me in the you know, the Arctic.
19:58
This guy comes out, Ryan comes out of prison guns a blazing, ready to rock.
He puts his new connections to immediate use, and he builds the framework of what would become a
20:09
very ruthless organization.
After prison, Ryan was more connected and more educated on the drug trade than he was before he went
20:18
in.
Police actually said we trained a drug Lord in in American prisons.
20:26
That's what their thought process was.
Can you imagine how polite those like drug transactions are?
20:31
Hey, sorry I burned you on the old drugs there.
I'll make it up for you on the back end.
20:35
Sorry about that, Earl.
Yeah, sorry about that, Earl.
20:39
So, so 2013 we're talking about now it's.
A fucking $10 million reward for him.
20:44
Yes, Montreal's underworld was in a state of flux.
The mob bosses that had previously run the drug trade in Montreal were in prison.
20:54
This is when all like the Bananos and the the Gotti's and when they were all getting busted and
going to prison, that was around that time frame.
21:04
So Canada and then they also had the Hell's Angels who ran drug trade in, in Canada as well and
Canada as well.
21:13
And they were in the process of what they called a reorganization.
I don't know what that means in the Hell's Angels but but basically it was right place, right time
21:24
or wrong place, wrong time, however you look at it, but.
Opportunity everywhere.
21:28
It was opportunity for him to jump in and actually fill a void.
So at that time, the best distribution network that existed belonged to El Chapo Guzman El Chapo?
21:43
Yep.
You guys know who El Chapo is, right?
21:45
3 amigos.
Yeah, duh, Duh.
21:51
So.
I guess 3 amigos.
21:53
So at that time, El Chapo was making making up really good ground in Canada.
He doesn't have any fucking competition.
22:01
So, you know, everything's going good.
He would move product across the border into into Arizona, where it would be stored in warehouses in
22:13
Tucson and Phoenix.
From there, it was loaded into cars and taken to the Washington border, where it was loaded onto
22:21
helicopters and dropped into the forest of British Columbia.
So somewhere in town here.
22:27
Yes.
There's fucking just a warehouse full of coke.
22:30
Full of El Chapo's drugs.
Wow.
22:32
And doesn't come across like through checkpoints, it comes across where there's not checkpoints.
So unprotected border.
22:40
Yeah, right, right there.
Yeah.
22:41
Hiking it.
Hiking it over.
22:43
Correct.
Yeah, yeah.
22:44
So bring.
Over any meat, fruits or drugs, Yeah, no.
22:48
Thinking, think about how think about the things that are happening here to get these drugs to the
forest in British Columbia.
22:56
All of the headache and fucking planes and mules and you name it.
So at the end of the day, some 25 year old punk in a club can snort a line of.
23:06
Coke.
That's crazy.
23:08
That's how much that shit's worth.
That's distribution right there.
23:11
That's unbelievable.
At the end of the day, it's all worth it, right?
23:16
So El Chapo, he loved Canada because he could sell his product at a higher price.
And I want to say it was like he could get like say 28,000 a kilo in America, in America, and he
23:28
could get 37,000 a kilo in Canada.
So he loved it.
23:32
And as it turned out, the Canadian Mounties or whatever the fuck they are.
Coke too.
23:40
Yeah, it turns out they're big coke heads too.
Yeah, So gotta stay aware.
23:44
Their organization at the time was really top heavy.
So a whole bunch of chiefs, not a lot of Indians, and Chapo loved it because you need the Indians to
23:55
catch his ass.
A bunch of chiefs aren't going to do it.
23:59
So he was able to really exploit the things that were going on in Canada at this at this time.
And Ryan, with his bigger than life presence that he had, ends up getting hooked up with one of El
24:13
Chapo's lieutenants.
Ryan and his long time buddy, a guy named Adam Clark, started climbing the ranks of the important
24:22
people, the muckety mucks in the Sinaloa Cartel.
Oh boy.
24:25
Oh wow, we're getting real deep in this one.
Yeah.
24:27
Are we allowed to legally talk about?
That yeah, not.
24:31
Just for.
The same purpose only.
24:33
Not for, but for a few years ago, this kid was racing in the Olympics.
Wow.
24:38
I mean, it's just an unbelievable.
Shits and giggles for him.
24:42
Exactly.
It's, I mean, it's, it's hard to even fathom this.
24:47
So Ryan would ultimately end up a drug Lord responsible for for over 60 tons of cocaine being
smuggled into Canada from Colombia annually.
24:58
Wow. 60 tons annually.
That sounds like a lot.
25:03
That's a.
Lot, I mean, again, unbelievable, I guess our thirst for those drugs.
25:11
I mean, the only reason they're able to do those things and take all those risks and have all the
people they kill is because we want it.
25:19
I mean, it's, it's unbelievable.
Here's the thing though, Ryan did get smart or smarter after his time in prison and he has largely
25:28
been a ghost since his release from prison in 2011.
But he's not perfect and so he does leave some bread crumbs along the way that tell a piece of his
25:40
story.
So in 2023 a drug trafficker was arrested and became an FBI informant.
25:49
This drug trafficker was one of Ryan Wedding's like main lieutenants so much so that he did most of
his meetings and talking with Ryan Wedding one-on-one or he he did it through Adam Clark his buddy.
26:06
He wasn't the guy in the street that no one knows.
He had direct contact to Ryan Wedding and.
26:15
This was in 2023, for the record.
If anybody's listening to this, we're just jackasses making stupid.
26:23
Comments Yeah Chapo yeah, Chapo.
I got no.
26:25
Problems.
We're cool problems here.
26:27
Bro Sinaloa Cartel, you're my favorite of all the.
Cartels I fuck yeah.
26:33
Yeah, my bad guys.
You.
26:35
Guys, just.
Yeah, you guys are.
26:36
I love your Coke.
Yeah, yeah, super good stuff.
26:39
Yeah, you're wrongly accused.
That yes, absolutely.
26:42
I almost see you as a nonprofit.
Yeah, yeah.
26:45
I mean.
Supporting the community.
26:46
It's.
Really.
26:47
Charity work.
Yeah, God damn.
26:49
Yeah, for sure, a lot.
Of a lot of productive work's been done under your your farming abilities.
26:55
So he had trafficked drugs with Ryan, this informant, for over a decade.
And in January of 2013, he met with Ryan and Adam to discuss a drug deal.
27:07
They hatched some plan to move drugs from Mexico to Canada.
And all of this was on tape.
27:13
So like I said, he kind of went ghost for a long time.
And then in 2023, this pops up with this informant.
27:20
So like I said, he's a high-ranking Lieutenant.
He talked with this guy directly and they end up setting up these cocaine shipments that that
27:32
obviously is recorded by PD.
They end up seizing the street value of $148 million in Coke.
27:42
That'll make it.
That'll piss some.
27:44
Guys off yeah that's not going to make people happy which also will.
That takes us to some of the other things that we're going to talk about with him.
27:51
So the FBI was also able to link Ryan to this guy that was a Miami Beach restaurant tour and a music
exec, his name was Naheem Jorge Bonilla.
28:04
The FBI raid this guy Bonilla's 6500 square foot mansion near Miami.
He had actually just bought it in 2020 for 4.8 million from DJ Khaled.
28:18
I mean, this is we're talking about as high a level as as you get.
So Bonilla, he's still in custody currently and waiting and awaiting trial.
28:29
The drugs Ryan traffics and trafficked are hard for his family to come to grips with.
I think they struggle with who Ryan became.
28:41
But the toughest pill of all for the family is Ryan's complete disregard for life.
He really wasn't the Ryan they knew anymore.
28:51
He had truly become his nickname, which we had talked about.
El Hefe.
28:55
Yeah, he was no longer sweet snowboarding Ryan.
He was a full blown drug Lord in everything that comes with it.
29:04
In November of 2023, Ryan and Adam Clark ordered the hit of an Indian couple who were visiting
Canada and were responsible basically for a drug shipment that got popped.
29:16
So he plans for this assassination.
And the one piece that didn't go his way is that couple had actually lent the house to another
29:27
couple, another Indian couple.
And so they go to do this assassination.
29:34
And as far as they know, that's the people they're supposed to kill.
So they kill.
29:39
Innocent people.
They kill 2 innocent people, they've got a young daughter with them, a young teenager that they
29:45
shoot 13 times.
Wow.
29:48
She lives, oddly enough, serious injuries but but she lives out.
Of your mind.
29:54
That's insane.
Yes.
29:56
Insane.
Yes, you.
29:57
Can get punched in the head and die and this young lady gets 13 times and she lives.
Sounds like the cartel needs to do target practice.
30:06
Respectfully.
Sorry, respectfully, respectfully, respectfully.
30:10
With all due respect, Sir, Yeah, sorry, that's right.
Just so you know, this is Lance Lance Floralson.
30:17
So Wedding and Clark, they ordered the hit of another victim on May 18th, 2024 and that was for an
unpaid drug debt.
30:24
So these are all things that the FBI are catching on tape.
Bill Life, Ozark.
30:28
It is.
It really is.
30:31
Clark and another man also ordered the hit of another victim in Ontario, Canada, and these are only
the ones they know about.
30:42
I guarantee you it's not just these few people.
So he's never murdered anybody himself?
30:48
Not personally that we know of, but he's ordering the hits of people along the way.
He's too big now to begin this.
30:54
Truly is senseless 'cause he he didn't have.
It's not like he was more and looking for a you.
31:01
Know.
No, that's about his.
31:02
Family, yeah, Yes.
Yeah, that he, like I said, he he was a full blown drug Lord at this time, 100% he wasn't the nice
31:10
kid that anyone remembers.
I hate to should have, could have, would have, but like you said, that judge could have.
31:15
Had him, Yeah, Should have punished him.
Yeah.
31:17
Had him dead to rights and maybe it would have changed him.
Wow.
31:20
So Clark, the buddy was actually arrested in Mexico in October of 2024 and extradited to the United
States, where he currently awaits trial.
31:32
Ryan still on the run, $10 million reward for his capture and he's believed to be protected by the
Sinaloa cartel, That is as long as he can pay his taxes.
31:45
So all of the cartels, they're almost like, they're like franchises.
And so you owe.
31:53
Oh yeah, yeah, whatever.
Percentage to the main, you know, hub and as long as he can keep producing and paying taxes is what
32:01
they call it, then he's going to be alive and they're going to protect him.
But the second he becomes.
32:06
Alive, he falls behind.
Yeah.
32:08
He he's a dead man and so.
Slippery slope.
32:12
Oh yeah, I'd say so.
He's going to get he'll either get caught or killed.
32:16
One of the IT ain't like he's going to grow old and retire.
Not, not gay, you know, and have a pension through the cartel and.
32:22
I'm pretty sure good healthcare, dental, yeah.
I don't think we're going to be seeing him in the places we're going in retirement.
32:31
So just a crazy.
Have they had any sightings of him or?
32:35
They have had some.
They think he's just buried deep in Mexico.
32:38
Yeah, he is.
And they also have pictures of him now and he he was a really good looking younger man, but he looks
32:48
like a look at that's him with the long hair.
He looks just like a greasy.
32:54
Yeah, he looks terrible actually.
With all due respect.
32:56
With all due respect, that's that's correct.
I would imagine he's like kind of Osama where he's he's got to stand out.
33:04
You're 64 and 2:40 in a white dude.
Mexico.
33:09
How?
Unless, unless he lives in a cave, people know.
33:13
Yeah, people know, right?
People get.
33:17
I guarantee you there are people right now that know who he is and are just too afraid to ever call
anyone.
33:23
He lives in a community right now where people know this man's a drug Lord.
Yeah, or maybe he treats them right.
33:29
I don't know.
He may.
33:30
He knows typically those drug Lords do treat the community well.
Yeah.
33:35
Smart.
Yep.
33:36
So anyway, I, I thought you guys would like it and I wanted to do it because it's one of the ones
that's in the media a lot because of obviously the whole snow Olympic snowboarder too to, you know,
33:48
Colombian drug Lord, Sinaloa cartel boss.
You just don't see that a whole lot.
33:53
That's a steep climb.
That's a.
33:55
Fucking steep climb.
Dude that's incredible.
33:57
Wow.
Yeah.
33:58
Colombia or I'm sorry, Canadia?
Canadia, That's right.
34:03
Canada.
A, A So anyway, great story.
34:07
It's a short one, but I think it's a cool one that a lot of people are going to hear of some things
about but won't know some of the details about how he got there.
34:14
And so he'll show.
Him.
34:15
He'll show up.
Dead.
34:16
He will 100%.
So happen.
34:18
Yeah, I agree with you.
He'll end up hanging off of the overpass somewhere.
34:21
No head, yeah.
Or no head, Yeah.
34:23
Yeah.
And when it does, we'll do a follow up.
34:25
Exactly.
We'll do a follow up for you some.
34:27
Heads are going to roll.
