Former Olympic snowboarder arrested for allegedly leading crypto-based drug trafficking operation in Mexico

Ryan James Wedding, once an Olympic athlete, was arrested in Mexico after being accused of leading a cocaine trafficking operation that utilized Tether (USDT) for transactions. Authorities claim his network also orchestrated several murders as part of the operation.

The FBI emphasized the arrest as a critical step for public safety, and Wedding is being extradited to the United States. In late 2024, authorities seized large amounts of cocaine and cryptocurrency linked to his activities.
