A group of college friends gamed Colorado’s marijuana laws and made millions in the most sophisticated black market growing operation we’ve seen in America since states began legalizing pot. This 10-episode, narrative podcast follows the group’s rise... and spectacular fall. Series launches August 11.
College, you get an education, you plan for your future, build a circle of lifelong friends and figure out how to make money, real money.
Late night binge drinking, hard partying, money, cocaine, girls, booze, you know, I mean, we're exchanging half a million dollars at a time stashed in the mountains kind of money, a bag full of cash with a GPS tracking device on it.
And as it just keeps rushing in, you're rolling in it.
I felt like I was on top of the world.
I didn't think there was anything to worry about, but all good things must come to an end.
And wow, what an act. They come right out and throw me down, have me pinned down against the ground with a rifle to my head, and suddenly you and all your best college pals aren't such good friends anymore.
My name is Chris Walker.
And over 10 episodes, I'm going to walk you through a world of big money and big risks and introduce you to a tight knit group of friends who thought they were untouchable. These guys are so cocky and area until they weren't DEA. We like to use a term to disrupt and dismantle. There's some organizations that we disrupt. This organization we dismantled from FOX pissing in Imperative Entertainment. This is the syndicate.
