How Drug Smuggling (Ecstasy) Actually Works | How Crime Works | Insider

Love Sean but them buttons working overtime 😂

You don't hear the words "fortunately there was a race riot" too often.

He is one hundred percent right about the ego.

You can tell he really misses doing what he loved 😂

Exactly! 100% not about the money. I was a runner back in the day, about to turn middleman and start having my own runners but things got dicey, when we went to Queens, NY to pick up a load. The dude we were picking up from was literally less then 100 yards away, when undercovers in unmarked cars/trucks swarmed them. We casually drove away and got the fck out of there. Never heard from the guy ever again, sold the rest of the X pills I had for dirt cheap, just to get out of the game. Once again, it wasn't about the money... it was all about feeling important, having the attention and overall, feeling quite fcking powerful.

What a brilliant businessman! Nice to see he's on the straight and narrow.

"hundreds of thousands dead in Mexico... all this knife crime in london... revolves around young people competing for the black market profit in drugs, created by drug laws." pretty much sums up the problem with the war on drugs

Legalize everything, tax it, take the money out of the hands of the gangs. So obvious, so simple.

What an interesting “master class” in how RICO structures are created and perpetrated. As a lawyer, and former prosecutor, I found it interested how the New Mexico Mafia gave Mr. Atwood a layperson’s class on America’s 4th and 5th amendments and searches based on probable cause. Many of the search buzzwords are part of the American lexicon but someone from Holland or the UK would probably not know the terms used everyday.

Shaun always has a smile on his face even when facing Sammy

I really hurt myself badly with this drug as a teenager in the late 90s. Doing it daily not drinking water, ended up catatonic in the psychiatric center a few times. Hard times. Much better today.

Absolutely insane story and that you’re still here to tell the tale. Really fortunate luck despite you got locked. As a consumer of xtc, I have very conflicted feelings about all the drug underworld. I’m not sure how dangerous it is here in Europe compared to the states but oh my god, it is a constant dodging of bullets.

Been following Shaun for years and man, that story doesn’t get old. Would love to see the film!

$100k to get the sentence down from 200 years to 9.5 years! Crazy! Money well spent damn

This blew me away. Sean you come across as being sweet, caring and lovely, which I am sure that you are. But this level of involvement, you must’ve had a set of balls the size of melons. What a life and what an experience. You are so lucky to be alive to tell your story today.

Spent the 1990's in Arizona, now I know where all that great x was coming from. Thanks for some fantastic memories! Must have passed through Sonoyta a 100 times without a second glance. Just clean-cut college kids going to Rocky Point. Only time I was questioned was at the check point near Ajo, but a respectful and cooperative demeanor kept the search cursory and I was on my way. Coming from the Chicago area I also had the good fortune of experiencing the 1980's LSD resurgence. * Hope I haven't offended anyone, just a crazy exciting time in my life.

Prison in most of the world is a punishment, prison in America is a business.

Very well put together piece. Bravo Insider

What a character this man is... I remember my first E - a snowball.... my mates found me in front of the P.A in the morning saying "I'm coming next week"! I've followed Sean on YouTube for years now and he's such an interesting guy. Changed his life and now has a mrs & baby (Ziggy) Nice one sir, keep up the good work ❤
