Recollections of former Arizona ecstasy king

Dec 23, 2018

Shaun Attwood was born in Cheshire, England and at a young age became a highly successful British immigrant to America who made millions as a stock broker in sunny Arizona who later transitioned to being a crime kingpin atop an organization of 200 drug traffickers and staff distributing ecstasy, Xanax and ketamine pills to America’s rave scene.

Backed by a New Mexican crime gang, he competed with feared US Mafia hitman and mass murderer Sammy “The Bull” Gravano.

At the height of his fortune, on a tranquil spring day, SWAT teams swooped in with automatic weapons, snipers, police cars and wearing body armour, surrounded his home and blew the door down hustling him out of his luxury home and leading him to a dark holding cell and eventual incarceration in some of America’s most dangerous prisons.

His six years of hard time in jail proved transformative thanks in no small way to Attwood’s reading of 1,000 books, exercise and keeping his wits while surrounded with deadly psychotic criminals and thugs all the while writing in his anonymous blog  “Jon’s Jail Journal”. 

Now banned forever from America, Attwood’s life story is detailed  in  Party Time: Raving Arizona and recounted in a London sit down interview with YouTube media star Patrick Bet David of Valuetainment.
