A former Olympic snowboarder, who officials say runs one of the most
violent drug-trafficking organizations in the world, faces new charges
related to the murder of a federal witness in the case against him.
Officials said Ryan James Wedding placed a bounty on the witness head
in the erroneous belief that the victims death would result in the
dismissal of criminal charges against him and his international drug
trafficking ring. He is alleged to have used a Canadian website to post
images of the witness and his wife to locate him, officials said at a news
conference Wednesday.
The witness was fatally shot at a restaurant before he could testify
against Wedding. In an indictment unsealed Wednesday, Wedding was charged
with murder, witness tampering and intimidation, money laundering and drug
trafficking.
The new indictment also addresses several other people, including a
Canadian lawyer, who officials say were involved in the murder.
The State Department increased its reward from $10 million to $15 million
for information that leads to the arrest and/or conviction of Wedding, who
is on the FBIs Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
You do not get to be a drug kingpin and evade the law, FBI Director Kash
Patel said at the news conference. Make no mistake about it, Ryan Wedding
is a modern-day iteration of Pablo Escobar; hes a modern iteration of El
Chapo Guzmán. ... He will not evade justice.
Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBIs Los Angeles field
office, said officials believe hes being protected by the cartel and
others in Mexico.
Please understand that he might change his hair color, his appearance,
and do anything to avoid capture, he said.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wedding's organization is responsible for
importing about 60 metric tons of cocaine a year into Los Angeles via
semitrucks from Mexico.
He controls one of the most prolific and violent drug-trafficking
organizations in this world, she said. He is currently the largest
distributor of cocaine in Canada.
Over the course of the investigation, Bondi said, more than 35 people have
been indicted, numerous weapons have been seized, about $3.2 million in
cryptocurrency has been recovered, and over $13 million in physical assets
have been confiscated.
According to the FBI, Weddings organization often resorted to violence,
including orchestrating the murders of multiple people.
Wedding, who represented Canada in the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City
in 2002, was charged in a September 2024 superseding indictment with
attempted murder and other counts.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.
Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
