Viktor Bout, The Lord of War, Nicolas Cage made a movie about him. Soon to be traded to Russia.

We have a spy and a dope smoking basketball player in Russia. Nobody cared about the spy until the woman basketball player got caught with illegal drugs in Russia. Now the USA is considering a trade to put the Lord of War back on the streets to kill thousands with his weapons. All to protect a woman who can't stop using drugs even where it's illegal. I knew Bout in prison. He is an articulate man who speaks English very well. Obviously intelligent he will undoubtedly return to selling death. I made this recording several years ago after spending time with Bout in USP Marion's administrative detention unit. I worked at Marion when it was the nation's toughest prison for 23 years. Find out what life is like for a maximum security prison guard in the Federal System. I am not a notorious person but I have known very well many who are or were. Mafia Bosses, Serial Killers, Mass Murderers from small African Nations convicted by the international court of crimes against humanity, and the occasional drug kingpin. Bout is in the news recently, so I thought this would be a topical subject for this podcast.
