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.

    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.

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.

    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...

    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
