Kingpin in Disguise: Jamie Mannion's Fall
from Christchurch News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A self-proclaimed “business guru” turned drug kingpin, Jamie Mannion orchestrated a multi-million-dollar drug empire trafficking meth, ecstasy, acid, ketamine, and cocaine across the country. Using encrypted apps, crypto, fake IDs, and even tasking websites to recruit teens as couriers, he disguised his operation as a legitimate business. Charged under Operation Whoosh, Mannion faced a 12-year prison sentence after prosecutors revealed his network moved street value worth $12 million in MDMA alone, with $180,000 in unexplained income tied to his mortgage. This is one of the biggest drug distribution cases the judge has ever seen — and the ultimate fall from a guru to a convict. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
