"According to investigators, he celebrated the January 2025 shooting of an FBI witness in Colombia by sending around a picture of the man's lifeless body and bragging about how he killed the "rat." A lawyer in Ontario had allegedly assured Wedding that eliminating the informant would thwart the prosecution against him. But for Wedding the Thunder Bay, Ont., native known as Public Enemy, accused of leading a murderous drug-smuggling empire his luck would soon turn."
"Clark, a former elevator mechanic and landlord in the Toronto area, sold his house in suburban Burlington and relocated to Mexico in 2022, according to property records and online posts. How Clark first connected with Wedding, a one-time Olympic snowboarder with a starkly different background, is unclear. But prosecutors in California allege Clark somehow rose through the ranks of the underworld to become second-in-command in Wedding's purported criminal enterprise."
Ryan Wedding, a Thunder Bay native known as Public Enemy, allegedly led a cartel-linked drug-smuggling empire and celebrated the January 2025 shooting of an FBI witness in Colombia by sending a photo and bragging about killing the 'rat.' An Ontario lawyer allegedly told Wedding that eliminating the informant would thwart prosecution. Andrew Clark, a close confidant and alleged second-in-command, agreed to act as an FBI informant and provided crucial evidence that aided authorities. Clark sold his Burlington house and moved to Mexico in 2022. Prosecutors allege Clark boasted of shipping two to three tonnes of cocaine monthly and promising a Toronto contract killer $1.5 million.
