Shaun went from recreational drug user and stock-market millionaire to becoming an ecstasy kingpin in America. He got caught and was sent to maximum security prison in Arizona. His story has been broadcast worldwide on the National Geographic’s Banged Up Abroad.

In the talk, Shaun, who is now an author and activist, is going to talk about what it was like making millions and reaching God-like status, throwing raves and selling ecstasy, to ending up in one of America’s most dangerous prisons, where gang members and even guards were allegedly murdering inmates.
