Owen Hanson on How He Laundered $10M of Mexican Cartel's Drug Money (Part 6)

VladTV

Owen Hanson reveals the astonishing story of laundering $10 million in drug money for a Mexican cartel while living in Sydney, Australia. At the height of the drug trade, cocaine prices in Australia were over seven times higher than in the U.S., making it a lucrative market. Hanson was tasked with laundering millions in cash, which he stored clandestinely in his small apartment—inside the dishwasher, microwave, and even hidden suitcases.With no prior experience, Hanson enlisted his accountant and formed a clever scheme involving fake IDs and creative money transfers. They smuggled cash inside vacuum-sealed comic books shipped via eBay and exploited Bank of China branches for large cash transfers. Eventually, they set up shell companies and used Australia’s iconic UGG boots to conceal gold bullion in the soles, disguising the illicit wealth. Hanson's methodical approach highlights the complexity and inventiveness behind high-stakes money laundering operations.California Ice Protein: https://www.californiaiceprotein.comOwen Hanson (@theofficialcakid): https://www.instagram.com/theofficialcakid
