Former Olympic athlete Ryan Wedding was named by the FBI as a modern El Chapo and Pablo Escobar, history’s most notorious drug kingpins. Here are details on 11 seemingly legitimate professionals accused of helping keep his billion-dollar cocaine empire afloat. Let me tell you about it.
The Mob Reporter here with detailed news of the surprising people accused of helping a most improbable narco — once a clean-cut Canadian Olympic snowboarder — survive and thrive in the United Stats, Mexico, and Canada. They were called Wedding’s network of enablers by FBI Director Kash Patel, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, and prosecutors in California; from sicario hitmen and a Canadian lawyer, to a brothel madam, bookkeeper, soldier, propagandist, businessmen — even his wife. And his girlfriend.
In this episode I reveal who they are, what they look like, what they supposedly did and why they are so important, including: THE LAWYER Deepak Paradkar; THE BOOKKEEPER Rolan Sokolovski; THE WIFE Miryam Andrea Castillo Moreno; THE GIRLFRIEND Daniela Alejandra Acuna Macias; THE SOLDIER Gianluca Tiepolo; THE INFLUENCER Gursewak Singh Bal from The Dirty News; THE INTERMEDIARY Allistair Chapman; THE MADAM Carmen Yelinet Valoyes Florez; THE BUSINESSMEN Cristian Diana and John Fallon; and THE GENERAL Edgar Aaron Vazquez.
I also question the FBI's ranking of Wedding in the same league as El Chapo Guzman and Pablo Escobar, and in this episode of The Mob Reporter I explain why. Please remember an indictment contains allegations only and it has not yet been tested in court.
Plus there are awesome photos of a rare 2002 Mercedes CLK-GTR allegedly owned by the Wedding organization.
