Kentucky's CJNG Money Laundering Network - From Ghost Cattle to a Crypto Torture Mansion (Jon Griggs Returns)

Jon Griggs returns to Borderland: Narcosis for his third appearance, picking up a story that's grown far beyond where it started. What began as a routine assignment to secure a Kentucky cattle farm in 2023 has unraveled into a $4.5 billion money-laundering case with alleged ties to the CJNG cartel and a string of connections Jon never expected to find. Listen to Jon's previous appearances for the full background on the Kentucky cattle case.
