Owen Hanson recounts his dramatic fall from freedom after being caught trafficking nearly one ton of cocaine. Hanson admits his initial hesitation gave way to greed and adrenaline as he built a lucrative drug money-laundering operation spanning Australia and the U.S. His downfall began when undercover federal agents posing as money movers infiltrated his network, wooing him with seemingly legitimate business on a golf course. Hanson describes how the "too good to be true" 12.5% commission aroused little suspicion—until after a deal involving five kilos of cocaine, when he was warned he was dealing with the feds.
