from Mike Drop · host Mike Ritland

In Part 3 of Episode 249 of the Mike Drop podcast, David Packouz lays bare the unraveling of the War Dogs saga. From shady dealings with Albanian connections to Efraim Diveroli’s ruthless betrayal, David reveals the high-stakes fallout of their $300 million Afghan contract. Hear how a scorned subcontractor’s tip to the FBI and the New York Times sparked a federal raid, a media scandal, and 71 counts of fraud. David shares the personal toll—losing millions, facing prison time, and rebuilding from nothing—while Efraim’s reckless choices led to his downfall. Plus, discover how house arrest sparked David’s reinvention as an inventor with the BeatBuddy and Instafloss.
