GQ's Best Books of 2019. 'A hidden world filled with high-tech
gangsters and drug kingpins and double-crossers and stone-cold
hitmen. As fascinating as it is terrifying.' David Grann, author of
Killers of the Flower Moon and The Lost City of Z The Mastermind
tells the incredible true story of Paul Le Roux, the frighteningly
powerful creator of a 21st Century cartel, and the decade-long
global manhunt that finally brought his empire to its knees. From
its origins as a prescription drug network, supplying hundreds of
millions of dollars' worth of painkillers to online customers, Le
Roux's business evolved into a sprawling multinational conglomerate
engaged in almost every conceivable aspect of criminal mayhem.
Yachts carrying $100 million in cocaine. Safe houses in Hong Kong
filled with gold bars. Shipments of methamphetamine from North
Korea. Weapons deals with Iran. Mercenary armies in Somalia. Teams
of hitmen in the Philippines. All tied together with encryption
programs so advanced that government agencies could not break them.
Tracing Le Roux's vast wealth and his shadowy henchmen around the
world, award-winning journalist Evan Ratliff spent four years
piecing together this intricate network. His investigation reveals
a tale of ambition and greed, and exposes a new age of
international crime in which a reclusive entrepreneur can thrive,
combining the ruthlessness of a drug lord with the technological
capabilities of a Silicon Valley firm to build an empire in the
shadows of our networked world. The result is a riveting,
unprecedented account of the most prolific crime boss built by and
for the digital age.
