IRONCLAD | Former Kingpin on How Cartels Actually Operate in America

IRONCLAD Borderland with Vincent "Rocco" Vargas | How Cartels Actually Operate in America: Drug Trafficking, Sicario's, and High-Ranking Members
On today's episode, Vince sits down with Pierre Rausini.
.
Pierre Rausini is an author and former Los Angeles kingpin. He was charged with operating a criminal enterprise under the Federal Drug Kingpin Statute and prosecuted for participating in wide-ranging drug conspiracies.
Rausini's extensive history of drug trafficking in Southern California throughout the 1990s involved direct collaboration with high-level Sinaloa operatives who managed the cartel's American-based distribution network and its money laundering operation.
This experience provided him with an intimate understanding of the cartel's logistics and operational strategies.
.
Rausini was released last year after serving twenty-six years in federal prison. His incarceration allowed him to live alongside and develop deep relationships with high-ranking members of both the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, including several of their drug lords.
This unique position enabled him to gain profound insights into the mindset, decision-making process, and cultural dynamics of these individuals.
Rausini's first-hand knowledge of how cartel leaders think and operate offers a level of insight that is simply unattainable through traditional intelligence-gathering methods.
Rausini has been invited to speak before law enforcement groups as a subject-matter expert and he appears on social media, commenting on matters relating to drug trafficking, money laundering, and cartel intrigue.
