British Drug Dealer, Mexican Cartels & Mafia: Shaun Attwood

How does a young lad from Widnes go from the stocks trade to the drugs trade, mixing with mexican cartels, the mafia, and neo nazis in one of the toughest prisons in the US?That’s where Shaun Attwood found himself after becoming a kingpin and building a drug trafficking empire from Arizona.
Sentenced to 9 and a half years, Shaun was incarcerated with some of the most dangerous inmates imaginable, but by using alliances, quick whits, and his English accent, he came out the other end to tell the tale.
He’s now a very successful KZbinr, Podcaster and Speaker, sharing his experiences and advocating against drugs and crime.

Isn't this the maddest story you ever heard? Heard him tell his story many times but never tire of it. Each time, there is something new. This man is amazing, he built up his life and is now a most successful entrepreneur who has spurred many, many people to launch their own careers. This needs to be a movie!!

EVERYTIME something new is a characteristic trait of an exaggerating kind of Pinochio style story teller ....... jus sayin lol

[@alexjmurphy2145]

​@LukeLjJames Possibly. But Shauns an intelligent guy who set out to start a career. So it's far more likely he's bright enough to know and understand that it would be stupid to tell everyone everything first time around. There's no longevity it doing that, no career, just stupidity. And it's pretty clear, he's not stupid!!

I feel some of you guys commenting and acknowledge hes had plenty of time to rehearse fake stories if he wanted, but the bloke lived a life most can't fathom and it was in the 90s. I don't think it's a far stretch to think a life like that could produce the stories hes telling. Hes permanently banned from the USA and did prison time, how could a gangly UK bloke pull of what he did without some of these wild stories being true ? Amazing podcast, good balance of entertaining humour and real life lessons, loved it 👌

[@ThePistpet]

What do you find so incredulous about his story? I’m no fan of Shaun, think he’s a bit weird, but when you get someone like him, remember pre 911 and pre ecstasy being seen as a serious drug in the USA, then you’re going to get crazy stories. I’m a bit younger than Shaun and my crazy rave days were based around London and the UK, ketamine was a class c drug and liquids were mot banned on planes. So if I were to sit down and have a beer with Shaun I could probably match story for story. It wouldn’t involve gangs or drugs, but it would involve Gangsters and crime, I never ended up in prison but myself and my contemporaries can tell you some stories which you could not write and could not happen nowadays, Shaun has never said he was a gangster but he did have some money , a co operative of friends and was surrounded by some crazy people….. he served hard time, the only reason we ‘hear about it’ is because he’s basically manic and his rents are both in pr and media relations so are on hand 24/7 for tips and guidance. I would assume most his books are recycled bilge though, an author he is not

[@janny6299]

I’d love to watch him doing this with a lie detector on him.

Even though Shaun was involved in what he did,you can clearly tell he’s not of that life and wouldn’t have understood the consequences of those actions should he be caught. He is one of many people who have a fairly “normal” and settled life then seem to want the excitement of the dangerous life. Sometimes I feel like he exaggerates the situations from back then but in reality he knew he was never getting 200 years

I would agree with you if it was not for the large number of people who corroborate his story's whatever he does the will always be people who want to put him down, sure it helps build his platform but he also he does a lot of unpaid work like going into schools to tell kids about the downsides of drugs but hey it's the internet people love to hate!
