FBI Releases New Photo Of Olympic Snowboarder Turned Drug Kingpin Ryan Wedding A Month After Offering $15 MILLION For His Capture
Source - The manhunt for Olympian Ryan Wedding rages on ... and now the FBI has released a new image of the snowboarder-turned-alleged-international-drug trafficker, as the feds desperately search for the man they've compared to Pablo Escobar.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Los Angeles field office dropped the photo on Tuesday night, claiming it shows Wedding in Mexico this summer.
While his look isn't drastically different, Wedding is rockin' different facial hair in the new pic.
It's no shock that the Canadian Olympian may be trying to alter his appearance. In fact, when Wedding was first added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List in November 2024, officials warned he "might change his hair color, his appearance, and do anything to avoid capture."
You know what? He actually doesn't look that bad. Sure, he looks like the dad who everyone was afraid of growing up, but all things considered you'd think he'd be in much rougher shape. I guess the cartel is really taking care of him!
This story has fascinated me ever since I first read about it last spring. Dante has done a great job keeping everyone up to date, but basically this dude quit being an Olympic to become an international drug trafficker. And not just any drug trafficker, one that allegedly moves 130,000 POUNDS of cocaine per year, murders witnesses set to testify against him, and bums around with the deadliest cartels on earth. So much so that the FBI thinks the Sinaloa Cartel is activley hiding him.
Here's the post...
90% chance that picture was a Snapchat to some girl. This whole thing seems like a job for Sean Penn. Didn't he track down El Chapo in like a month? Where's he at? Tell him to get off his ass and get moving.
Anyway, this is going to make a great movie one day. Chances are he'll sell the rights to his story once he's locked up. Time will tell. If anyone sees this scumbad be sure to call the FBI. Thanks!
