KINGPIN Reveals How He Built A Million Dollar Empire In College | Eric Canori
Eric Canori was one of the largest high-end pot dealers on the East Coast of the United States - before it became legal in any state - smuggling weed out of Canada via 18-wheelers, helicopters, and boats. He operated like a ghost, doing well over $300,000,000 of business by age 29 - without a gun or the government knowing. In this episode Eric discusses with Ian his childhood, how he got involved in the pot business, his downfall and the knowledge he's gained along the way.

@ianbickCT I think this has been my favorite interview. I understand the hype of Chevy chase but you did great be was just not a good interviewee. This guy was great. How do I apply to be on the show?
Good stuff
yo man when eric said he doesnt have a connection with his mom i felt that. ive never had a relationship she chose the streets over family. not having a mother figure really turns you cold. stay up eric!

I agree I like how honest he is about things even if it hurts to talk about. Some people are complaining that he’s reserved but since I’ve been through so much shit I get it. These podcasts resonate more with people that have been through things. Non judge mental people are hard to find.
This dude can articulate very well. Watched his other interview on the connect. I’ll sign up Eric. Get that program done
What a wonderful voice! 😊
When he said queensbury NY I was hooked on automatically. That’s 30 mins away from me. 😂
Another Awesome interview! And your guest did a great job telling his story! Thank you both!
Yo bro your great interviewer this is a sick one

37:32 “the viiiiiiiiiibeeeee”
This man was destined to “Live Mas!”
he didn’t go in depth about anything dude. this is a theme i keep getting from your pod. not all episodes but there are some that could be way better like this one by going more in depth into his crime & prison.
Imagine if he just waited a few more years until weed was legalized, appealed his sentence and kept that 12 mil 😢
24:25 Gut is 100% real. You gotta be in tune & know when people even have a DUI is enough for them to start snitching. Have walked out of two seperate wired setups. Yes the way people talk is huge give away when the are wired up. You should be reading all the old high-times magazines go over how to setup any deal to spot a wire, clean your car, etc etc. Key point to this interview this guy lost the passion, once your lose the passion get out of the game while you can.

I agree with what he says about the intelligent vs. educated
I did 10 years my first offense for weed in the feds I don’t know what he’s talking about cause I give them a whole Lotta money to somethings not right with the story and I was only 18

their case wasn't solid and he spent over half a million on lawyers
52:50 is the truth. More money more problems.
Had to rewind the part about being as “high as a giraffe’s ass.” Baller moment for sure! 👊🏼
10 mill in gold bricks and its all on the books right? gotcha lol
I’ve never heard someone use a point system to describe there success in the streets
Just figured out this is the guy from girls gone wild.
This guy reminds me a little bit of Adam from No jumper, but way more articulate and intelligent
lets fucking go
bro got off eazy lmao
Sounds like Ryen Russilo
I get the sense that this man is depressed and not truly happy with his life. And I don’t buy the reason he didn’t have kids was because of him going to jail. I believe his story but dude his hiding things.
💪
I remember this guy also.. That's two. In a short time. I never went to prison but I can tell you about the suck of this area Still living it. Thinking maybe prison be better.. That's a fact. Society up here sucks.
This country really needs to make some changes to the laws surrounding non violent felons and firearms! That law was *NOT* made so guys like these 2 couldn't defend themselves for the rest of their lives, it was made for violent criminals who had shown they are a danger to the public. Ian was a kid who got in over his head and became a white collar criminal, this guy was a high level pot dealer who, from what it sounds like, treated it more like a fortune 500 company, either one _could_ own a firearm and I'd bet every penny I have that they'd never use it to commit a crime. Imo if someone is too dangerous to own a firearm, they're too dangerous to own hundreds of other items, too dangerous to drive, etc and at that point, I'm not sure why they're even free but that's a whole other conversation...
Bruh 300ms just movin weed is insane
Tap into the urban world they far better stories that guys have to tell
I love this podcast, but some of the whining at the end of the stories is hilarious. “I got screwed, think of the money I gave the government”. So if you rob a bank and give it back, it’s all good? “I’m a felon, can’t own a firearm”. Soo, you were the good kingpin, so here’s some guns? Those are called consequences. Still love the podcast and the stories
It takes some skill to get to that level and alot of luck he thinks he was to smart to get caught but he got caught.
Was Crockett a don johnson cop hmmm
Does Ian do any research before having his guest??? If not anyone could make up a story...

I’m sure Canori was fucked up at the time but it’s probably tough to be nice and passive when dealing. Think he’s prob an alright dude now. Hopefully society gives him a second chance to be publicly successful.
He thinks the movies he watched was his own real life and thinks his dreams were reality
He said he was a number 9 i guarantee he took a number 2 when caught
He’s a fool for giving them the money he did not like they knew how much he had made

This interview would’ve been better if he actually told his story step by step instead of just rambling on about things.
Lots of cap. No way hes forgetting where he put millions of dollars.
If he was black even paying 12 million he still would have gotten more time
😂 stopped at one hour an no one is that gullible to actually believe this fairytale that this “Kingpin” story teller made up. I really hope not 🤦♂️ theres more than way too many holes in this guy’s story 💯
