"Ryan Wedding, a 44-year-old Canadian national operating as a multinational drug lord turned himself in at the American embassy in Mexico. Wedding was once an Olympic Snowboarder, competing at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games where he placed 24th in parallel Giant Slalom. After abandoning competitive snowboarding, he took up a life of drugs and eventually crime, where he committed atrocities and earned many titles such as "El Jefe," "Giant," and "Public Enemy.""
"To fund the business and utilizing his access to property, he grew marijuana at Eighteen Carrot Farms. This endeavor did not last long, as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided the farm in 2006, seizing a shotgun, ammo, and $10 million worth of marijuana. Fortunately for Wedding, he was not at the property at the time, avoiding arrest and inhibiting their ability to charge him."
"After a few years away from the legal eye, Wedding was again arrested in 2008 for attempting to buy cocaine from a U.S. government agent. In 2010, he was convicted of this crime and sentenced to 4 years in prison, of which he only served one and was released in 2011. It is believed that following his release, he founded his criminal enterprise and his life of organized crime began."
