He planned a coup in the Seychelles and he bribed government officials in the Philippines, China, Laos, Africa and Brazil. If Paul Calder Larue had a situation that he could bribe or kill his way out of, he did so.
What happens when a lone programmer turns into a drug kingpin? In this gripping episode of Cover2 Resources, host Greg McNeil revisits the story of Paul La Roux with Evan Ratliff, author of 'The Mastermind'. La Roux's journey from a solitary coder to the architect of a massive online drug empire is both shocking and fascinating. His operation flooded the U.S. with millions of pain pills, involving hundreds of doctors in his scheme.
But La Roux's tale took a dramatic turn when he was finally caught in 2012 and began cooperating with authorities to bring down his own network. Last month, the saga reached a new chapter as La Roux faced sentencing by Judge Ronnie Abrams. Ratliff shares the latest updates on this high-stakes case, including the bizarre twists and the potential for La Roux's extradition to the Philippines for additional crimes.
This episode offers an eye-opening look at the complexities of modern drug trafficking and the relentless pursuit of justice. Tune in to uncover the full story behind one of the most notorious figures in the opioid crisis.
