From Stock Broker to Drug Trafficker - with Shaun Attwood

The mind-blowing and often hilarious story of a young lad from Widnes and his transition from the stocks trade to the drugs trade, rubbing shoulders with Mexican cartels, the mafia, and neo- within one of the most challenging prisons in the United States? This is the journey that Shaun Attwood ended up on as he rose to become an ecstasy kingpin with a substantial drug trafficking empire in Arizona. Shaun shares stories of how he went from being a reportable trader to wild parties, encounters with some of the world’s most dangerous individuals, and the challenges he faced along the way. Facing a sentence of up to 200 years, Shaun was locked up alongside some of the most intimidating inmates imaginable. Somehow, through strategic alliances, quick thinking, and his distinctive English accent, Shaun emerged on the other side with a remarkable story to share, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. BEST MOMENTS "I nearly got shot. They're the local crack dealers. I'm letting them stay in mine. I'm staying at theirs over the street." "I've done TED talks and one of them is like what facing 200 years taught me about happiness and I've learned that happiness is in your heart." "I've had pushback from various reasons. The first lot of pushback were death threats." "He accused my guy of stolen valour because this guy was an ex-Vietnam vet and a biker."
