The Canadian Drug Kingpin - Ryan Wedding - Hunted By the FBI
November 24, 2025โข235 words
Ryan Wedding's once powerful criminal empire is starting to fall apart in the underworld, where money is laundered and loyalty is always conditional. Rasheed "JP Morgan" Hossain, his reliable money man, has been taken into custody, and a former accomplice who trafficked drugs with Wedding and assisted in several murders has turned informant. This insider exposed the inner workings of Wedding's hierarchy and the cartel-style execution of longtime trafficker Jonathan Acebedo-Garcia, who was killed in Medellรญn after assisting the FBI. Wedding's increasing paranoia is detailed in court documents as he attempted to identify the "rat," allegedly using a hitman from Montreal and encrypted group chats via Threema and encrypted Blackberry chats that included a Toronto lawyer to verify the betrayal.
Wedding slipped further into the logic of a ruler losing control as his fear intensified. In addition to sending agents throughout Colombia, publishing pictures of Acebedo-Garcia, and searching for any sign of his whereabouts, he allegedly offered up to $5 million to have the suspected informant killed. Wedding allegedly shared pictures of the body as evidence of his reach when the hit finally happened. However, the very action that was intended to strengthen his power now shows its disintegration. His cartel starts to resemble every collapsing empire, brought down not by adversaries but by the aspirations and betrayals of those who once contributed to its construction, as his network splits and allies turn against him.
