- Shaun Attwood was just your average teenager from Cheshire. When he left the UK for America at the age of 22 his whole world turned upside down.
After becoming a millionaire stockbroker within 6 years, his attention soon turned to a life of crime. Resulting in him quickly becoming one of the biggest drug traffickers in the world.
In this UNILAD Original Documentary we explore the unbelievable story of an ecstasy king pin.

As a Dutch citizen, when I clicked on this video, I knew that at some point, my country would be involved again...
It always is when it comes to good ecstasy haha!
ultra99spec relatable
Your country is much more forward than the rest of the world that’s why. 👍
They are the hub for producing ecstasy, I wouldn't call it forward, nor a good rep. The Dutch government are not happy about it in the slightest lol.
before i get all the anti drug comments, i'm a top baghead
Ecstasy kills a micro fraction compared to booze & other drugs. No idea why it's class A.
Jesus. The prison part was insane. Sounds like utter hell on Earth.
Yes indeed! :-(((
Didn't say which gang he decided on though. Must've been a tough decision. I reckon i'd go with the mexicans. love their food.
The Beat Fabrik buddy you go with what ever race you are, you don’t just get to pick. I’m assuming he rolled with the skin heads.

almost 4 million views, wow, I'm blown away, thx UNILAD
Thanks for sharing your story. It would be better to get a feature on how positively you impact the life now after a few months/ years of your dedication to this cause.
Take Care. God Bless
You had quite the paper round didn’t mate
It’s not what you did, it’s what you became from it👍
You're story is amazing Shaun,
So glad you've turned it into a positive message after your incarceration.
Thank you your story is amazing and so eloquently put.
Checking your own interviews for views is pretty gimpy mate
If he had stayed as a stockbroker he would’ve been absolutely loaded by now, imagine
u wouldn’t even know who he was
@@leohawthorne3672 Perfect, no?
@@leohawthorne3672 not everyone wants to be famous is what he's trying to get across nutjob
@@leohawthorne3672 who cares if some guy in the comments knows his name, he would have loads of cash and would have never went to prison. But hey Leo Hawthorn knows who you are you've made it lol
Drugs devour your success, dreams and future. Only a a couple places they take you on a trip, rehab, incarcerated or in the grave.
Bezos slanging dope.

so this is where he got the start up funding for amazon...interesting
@@BloodlineMedia he really does look like Jeff tho 😂😂😂
So happy to be 700th like on this comment 😂
😹😹😹
Jesus, that last couple of minutes hit hard.
He was on the true geordie podcast, twice..... Check it out, its several hours of his story.
do you english?
How does saying "Jesus" emphasize your point? Can you explain?
Miles Rauma behave mate
I got the chills when he started describing how tough prison was
no ones talking about how he saw a mans head get cut off?
@@rustykettle123 every comment I saw on this vid was saying he's faking his story, that's what I was referring to
@Almighty God George Soros #420 #GetRekd that's what my family and I do when we go out
I thought that only happens in the middle east.🐪🕋🕌
@@snuffspoon he ain't faking, he has his own channel on fbook guys the real deal, he exposes epstein etc these days
King in the North It happens everywhere but it’s extremely rare. Only the specific parts of the middle east you see in the news it’s common.
This man literally came to my school today and shared the exact same story
That's because it's scripted and has been learnt very well, I've seen the majority of his stories on Movies and they weren't based on this clowns life story
@@BANE81support what’s got you upset?
@@tommyvinceze6249 I just don't like the man and the shite he comes out with half the time. I've never known 1 man try and name drop so many people, he seems to know or have met every gangster there has ever been yet when REAL gangsters and faces of the underworld call him out he deflects and ignores the questions. Shaun is the type of man to say "I gave Pablo Escobar his start". For a man that claims to have done everything, it's amazing he is free at all let alone alive to tell these tales. Something very fishy about it all if you ask me but that's just my opinion. Just search youtube and you'll see what I mean. Bare people have called him out and have proof behind their words. (he never answers a question without his eyes darting around the room too)
@@BANE81support fair enough mate I’ve seen a guy who went on James English podcast had a big problem with him but don’t know too much about it
@@tommyvinceze6249 yea bro James English is the man, straight to the point and as honest as they come. Shaun really is just a creepy wrongun though and needs exposing more than he has been in my opinion. Hope your well mate and enjoying the lift in restrictions, stay safe my G
“He was actually very nice to me” lmao
he wanted to keep his food fresh
Jebi Se happy cows taste better. I bet the satanist thought happy people do too.
What comic book page was used for your channel cover? I know, so random, but the comic geek inside me never sleeps.
@@MedievalSolutions maby just cos ur a satanic cannibal dosent mean ur always a bad guy
I got 666th like lmao

The Aryan Brotherhood saw him and must've thought "Ah yes, a baldy. He's one of us."
@@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL Maybe it was a different kind of jail "Brotherhood" that thought "Ooh yes. He"s one of us"! LOL.
Prob wanted his ass, or as he said, looking to gain rep within the craphole stupid clan. 👍
Prison is like this everywhere. Its segregated by race, you dont have a choice in the matter.
No, they just thought he looks like a pedo...
anyone who’s lived a life like this knows how exciting it is but you will never be the same afterwards regardless if you get caught or not
Life get so plane that you start feeling like an outsider
Guys talking out his arse
burn the fat off your soul
No idea why ecstasy is class A.
It kills a micro fraction compared to booze & other drugs.
A lot of anti depressants and other pharmaceuticals would kill with the same dose (even less) than ecstasy. Its medicine if taken properly.
Ha ha ha what a pleb you are
Those who run the show don't give to fucks about the health of the people, they are concerned with the freedom of mind that drug use causes.
For example...anyone using drugs is 90% of the time not religious or just fakes to be religious.
That's a big no-no for those who run the show, religions are THE number one control system of the people.
Still does kill people and causes brain damage i know what you mean though if xtc is class a than alcohol should probably be too in my opinion but the harm from mdma mentally can be horrifying
@@ClaudeMagicbox wow, you're delusional
Your mistake was getting arrested in America.
KGBgringo whorst country to do so
Ea zγ try getting arrested in any 3rd world, non-democratic nation and you’ll see stupid that statement is.
Jacques Stoop lmfao. America is a third world country you idiot. Everyone's poor sick uneducated and on the brink of homelessness at any moment
Jacques Stoop and the police and immigration officers terrorise the people
George kush nice bait
Sounds like it would make a decent movie ! Top lad for keeping the party going tho.
daniel O'connor fuck yeah
He is a legend amoung us young people
They made a drama-documentary on it btw
sources?
look on his youtube channel. And I think it was produced by national geographic and is called 'locked up abroad' or something similar
This guy has to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast
Najib Rahman he won’t be allowed back to America
Blurred ASF neither was Edward Snowden they still did a podcast
This guy knows how to tell a story, details are on point and sounds like he didn’t leave anything out. 10/10
“I just thought I was keeping the party going ✊🏻” ...
;D my G
The moral of the story is, take E, dont sell it.
MDMA crystal > E
no,and no
mario psota you gotta try it at least once in your life. It'll be the best experience ever ....unless it gets laced with some bullshit, worst!
i meant to reply to dixie normous :D and in my experience its far from the best, a high dose lsd blows mdma out of the water :)
mario psota nice, I've never gone beyond E.
I’ve heard his story about 1000 times and I still listen just because of his voice
Me too 😂
weird
I’ve been binging Shaun’s channel for the last week and I find his stories so interesting
The satanist cannibal was nice. I think that would concern me more... Some real stuff here.
urmaker Make a satanist cannibal playlists
urmaker What the heck are you doing here?! 😂
urmaker wanchu doin here
urmaker As a fan it would be cool if you did a video around one of these topics
Satanist believes you should treat other the way you would like to be treated, unless they disrespect you.
lol ecstasy turns even most evil men into friends. briefly, until they want more.
Ecstacy is fun, and I love it
However, it's very dangerous
You should only do it once every three months. People who are dumb enough to do it once a week, I've seen get put on antidepressants or end up somewhat retarded
Enjoy responsibly

Fantastic how much 11:10 min could deliver. Thanks for this great one 🖒👏
Ecstasy is prob one of the best highs ive had back in early 2000's
ROCKWOOD GROM856 and acid
Best highs I've ever had to date!
ROCKWOOD GROM856 same. Best times of my life I was off my head on pills with all my mates.
One word. "Doves ". They were unreal. Best ever. One would last you all night. But we didn't stop there 🤪
It is...
A movie on this guy would be pretty cool imo, watched the whole true geordie documentary it is very interesting I like the way Shaun tells his tories
Fakewood is a pathological liar & a deluded fantasist Robert. Most of his stories are 95% lies & bs mate & many of his ex subs now believe he was a snitcher also.
Mad respect to Shaun Atwood for turning his life around and now helps others. 😊
This was such an engaging watch thanks for putting it together
This is really well done, good job boys loved this
Your welcome.
True Geordie love you brian
True Geordie you’re* :p much love from Gateshead.
uyuy
My welcome?
My thoughts exactly mate. much love
I wish the stories in this series were longer. Captivating stuff.
That's one of the best stories of these documentaries
Everything he said about the prison system and what goes on was spot on.
DizzyAaron bullshit. Not Even Close. I just did a decade
Richard Andrews east coast or west? Cuz east coast is the only place where I hear it’s different now.
DizzyAaron Texas. The Supposed Worse. They're All friendly. They Have The Safe Prisons act. Put You In super max. In cell 24 Hours a day. All They Have To Do to not give you your one hour (in a tiny cage with 8 other men) recreation is say short of staff. They Talk People Out Of Their Ass. No Rape Needed. In 9.5 years in one of the worst in Texas I saw one rape. Everything Else Was Consensual. They Even Stooped Smashing chomos. Fucking weak! In Texas In The 2000s Texas went 1.5 years with only 1 death. 150+ units.
Richard Andrews I don’t know what kind of Prison that was but if you are PC in Cali it’s on sight greenlight. Super max is not general pop . And even level 4s here which are maximum security lock down are not 23 hour. You still get open day room 3 times a day. I’m not trying to argue can only tell you what goes on in Cali which is what he was talking about. I’m not even sure if he did time in Cali but the experience is similar.
DizzyAaron sounded like Arizona. Super max is 23 a day. In Texas They Change That To 24 For Days On end Just By Saying Short Of staff. What You Describe Is Medium Custody Here. Pc protective custody? They Are Locked Up Here.
Props to this man for sharing his story. Hopefully this may help someone avoid ending up in the same situation.
I support safe drug use and wish the US would not put people in prison for non-violent drug offenses.
Exactly it’s time to end this drug war
Agree never get caught
Your a good dude Shawn. Keep sharing your story brother. Hopefully it will touch people’s heart and make the world just a little bit better. 👍🏻
This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen. What a great guy
Really well structured interview this
The amount of lives that would be saved if drugs were legal...
Zero
This sounds like something demi lovato would say
Peter Mason How many lives would be lost if Heroin was allowed?
A lot. When you buy stuff on streets you don't know exactly what you are getting + the fentanyl cases. If you buy from a reputable source knowing exactly what you get the chances of overdose are close to none.
heroin is basically Dirty morfine
I'm imagining this guy as a grandpa, bouncing his grandkids on his knee, telling them a few stories from the old days.
This guy came to my school! He gave me his book :) incredibly brilliant man
Did you love watching the sickening Daddygate video of Fakewood too?
This guy came to speak at our school, incredible stories, a brilliant eye opener to the real world and that this does happen.
Short, sweet, and straight to the point! Great documentary!
Wow, what an amazing story, Shaun! Much respect to you brother 👊
I'm born and raised in Phoenix Arizona. I remember the Raves. You had to buy his ecstasy from guys wearing glow-in-the-dark Batman shirts or else you'd wake up in the desert. Charming guy other than that.
Bollocks😂
Phx woop woop
We had Shaun come to our school in the UK to talk about this, and I got his book for answering a couple of questions during the event. It was pretty cool to get his side of the story in person!
Legalize regulate tax and honestly educate people about all drugs. This would solve so many problems.
Antwithbigplans livetotrip nah then everybody becomes an addict and nobody would go to work lol
Or just stop selling drugs....that would solve so many problems....
PONYBOYonline we already tried that ..
TMJ HothiphopMiami Not at all
no you're right, regulate and educate, but also give a user license for each drug, if you wanna do this drug, you would have to see a doctor, a psychologist, pass a few hours in courses, and do several drug experiences with professional ; then we give you your license, but you won't be allowed to give drug to people, just use it on your own ; and if you consume too much you will have to see a psychologist again, and if you sell their will be no mercy ; I'm sure this would work great ;
No way! This guy did an amazing talk at my college 5/6 years ago. Always stuck with me.
Hadn’t been able to find him until I stumbled across this video! Amazing story!
WOW! Thanks for that authentic story
Greed is powerful. Amazing how millionaires who have great lives lead themselves into a down-spiral.
Greed but mostly the power of throwing parties and living an exciting life something he probably sought more than money after becoming a millionare
Jack Anderson You sound dumb, being a millionaire already gives you the opportunity to live an exciting life
Kuba Marcin That’s not what he implied dumbass read thoroughly next time
Trappa P Wow, you are the coolest guy in this comment section. Kudos for you.
Wow! Wish I had a friend like you!
Trappa P you're missing the point whilst calling us dumb
Very well put together unilad
These documentaries are fascinating
I doff my cap to you sir. Legend. 🙌🏼
American male prisons sound like how I imagine the 7th Circle of Hell would be like.
In those times we had epic parties 3 a.m. 500 people in room made for 200 bass ripples everything sweet dripping from the celine lasers beams cutting the smoke every body in a mass groove nothing but good vibes every color an class of person all mixed into a moment of time that sadly might not get to be seen by those comming up. My man here helped some of us transcend an are better for it . Thanks for the times brother.
this is seen very much by those coming up, rave and party culture aint dead
Banged up abroad raving Arizona awesome episode
when you enjoy something too much you stop doing it. great tale of madness and survival thanks for sharing UNILAD. daps at Shaun Attwood and his commenters.
A prisoner beheading another with a shovel?! .. capital punishment including the death sentence for inmates who continue to do cime while locked up I say! Because let's face it, when someone's locked up for life or even longer, nothing will prohibit that prisoner from doing whatever he wants since he has nothing to loose.
Must make you real proud to congratulate America's wonderful judicial system. Until you're imprisoned on false charges and then brutally murdered inside for no reason.
@@UNNAM3D82 Why you putting words in his mouth? That's not what he said.
@@UNNAM3D82 At no point did be congratulate Americas prison system. Why you putting words in his mouth? He said life sentence prisoners should get the death penalty of they carry on committing crimes behind bars as there is no other means of threatening them.
rest assured that beheading wih a shovel story is TOTAL BULLSHIT!
Even if drugs didn't exist there would still be prisons full of the most violent and despicable human beings. Great docu!
Well said mate , all the best from here on cheers 👍
This guy came and did a talk to me and a group of other students when I was in college. He went into great detail about how bad prison was for him. There were a lot of troubles with drugs in our college (students taking and selling on site) . I suppose that was a solution the college came up with lol.
Go watch his podcast with The True Geordie, its called the English Wolf Of Wall Streets, its absolutely brilliant!
Many thanks!!
awesome video, great question, great answers.
I like your comment ! It really helps me in my life and it gives me focus to work hard in life. Your comment actually gave me energy to work hard to get the full potential out of myself. I think this comment is a message from God to stay clean and not go back to weed again. You're full of shiny bright stars and I hope you will expand to a great leader of ours. Good luck !
Wow! F that, American prisons are brutal! Good on you for making it mate 👍
I love that this was recommended to me after watching a wolf of wallstreet best of.👌
Decriminalize MDMA, for the greater good
Isn’t mdma far more dangerous than alcohol? Seeing as it completely depletes you of your serotonin and if done a lot, can fuck your brain chemistry badly, which will what happen if mdma becomes a legal high
@@bosseshang8479
Thing is that already happens when its illegal. If someone wants to cook their brain they could do it legally or illegally with alcohol or MD. At least if its legal they stand a chance of getting help and supply can be monitored. Furthermore, decriminalizing will allow a better study of the chemistry and it may be possible to counteract some of the side effects and minimize damage. Now MD has negative effects but the extent, duration and required dose to achieve lasting impairment is less clear, also the extent of these effects while not ideal are not debilitating with a slightly lower score than average on some memory tasks after recent or prolonged use. Now most of the fatalities associated with MD are related to them being laced and or allergic reactions, very rarely overdose. I say this because while there may be effects from MD its worth legalizing it to save lives as these things shouldn't happen in a regulated setting. Finally it is not for the state to dictate what you can do with your own body, similar to abortion rights. Part of freedom is the ability to ruin or end your own life if, how and when you choose. It is not the states' job to coddle, for 'Big Brother' to keep you completely safe from yourself by restricting your freedom. Sorry for the 'freedum' rant.
CIC320 terrible idea. Ecstasy is an extremely harmful drug, which has killed so many people. I always here on the news and from people around me about people dying from it. It literally chemically dissolves your brain. There are 4 people who I know who took only 1 tablet of ecstasy and nearly died. I’m sorry but legalising it will make it worse, because it’ll make people who would’ve never tried it try it because it’s now legal, and the people who did it before would carry on doing it illegally because that’s what they’re used to. I always hear people say about government regulation. Why should the government have to spend money and time regulating ecstasy just so people can get high? Plus, ecstasy is ecstasy- even with regulation it will cause harm because it will still have the chemicals in to cause it. There might be too many people doing it now, but legalising it would increase that number tremendously, with no good outcome. Finally, a lot of people use Switzerland to back up theirs point. The uk, USA, and most other countries are completely different from a place like Switzerland. I’ve seen what drugs can do to people, and legalising it would just make everything worse.
Fuck drugs support the war on drugs!
Fucking junkies.
What a fuckin interview!! Love documentary's like this
Thanks unilad for teaching me what not to do while selling drugs
what you shouldnt do is post tht u sell online xD

"hope young ppl wouldnt make my mistakes" - shared story told in a way it actually sounds cool
Shaun's podcast/CZcams is one of the best on here
Thurs guy came and spoke in my school. Ngl really cool guy sharing his story and he has book on it that i would definitly reccomend!
6:56 im sorry but I had to laugh at "foreskin heads" 😂😂😂😂
Dylan Bowden ' 4 skin heads '
"For Skinheads"
ROFL!!!
I saw this guy's story on Locked Up Abroad. It talked more about his life before prison. Very interesting to see both. Definitely worth a watch.
I respect this video tremendously. I was in prison myself for drug charges and white and new to it. And you’re exactly right. I’d love to sit down with you and talk. It’s rare to see people like this or like me.
Shaun Came to my College to tell his story as He was alumni there. Can still remember the talk now. Was great.
Getting caught was the only mistake
Getting caught probably saved him, he even said he nearly died more times than he can count and he was lucky to be alive.
I love watching this guys youtube channel
“In for murder part of a cult is drinking blood and eating human body parts.”
“And he was actually very nice to me” 🤣
Why has Hollywood not jumped on this mans story. I want to see this film NOW!
This was really interesting. I wish it was longer, it felt rushed. IDK if unilad is trying to meet some imaginary time constraint or what
I love that "convict justice" concept
If ever I needed a reason to try to be a good person....it was this video. 😅🤣
My Man Came to my school to give a talk, absolute don!!
karim same.
same this guy a g
Those prison stories were insane!
Omg your that guy from ted talks!!! Loved your talk on there!~
We need a series
I’d not heard about Shaun until today via his TED talk.. his time in prison sounds like a living hell, and he had his fair share of luck. The second chance he has, must be a god send to him.. I wish him all the best.
I really love this guy's books, he's an amazing writer! He's just done a series on the real history behind Narcos - highly recommend it if you love reading about that kind of thing.
Whats the book called
Shaun Attwood Where can i find this, thanks
It's called Pablo Escobar: Beyond Narcos. 10/10 book! There are two other books in the series that are just as good. One about the Cali Cartel and one about Barry Seal. You can find them on Amazon x
Thanks
From widnes! Omg thats made my day, i though the biggest celebrity we had was purple alki lmao.love u Shaun
Really true words at the end - very authentic.
wow I could listen to him all day
have you got a book out ?
people call this fake, idk what to believe but either way... this guy knows how to tell a badass story
It's so cool what a happy guy he is, his story is so crazy, but not sad
I’ve met this guy, got his signature in one of his books
Never heard of him but fookin hell
wow, great story.
I took one ecstasy tablet when I was 16, it had a dove on it, it was huge just for one tablet, I nearly died - my heart nearly exploded, onto of that I nearly jumped out a top window, panic attacks and feeling suicidal was a daily thing. I had to go back to school, I was in class on the top floor and got the urge to jump out an had to leave school. I'm 38 now and I still get panic attacks and suicidal thoughts from it. The saddest thing was that it was my brother that had bag of them in his room. He was taking them and selling them. He is in and out of prison to this day. I've just learned to live and get over it
cant hack it
