A SoCal cocaine kingpin will do way less time behind bars than anticipated
A Southern California cocaine kingpin — whose exploits have prompted criminal investigations spanning the globe and captured the attention of Hollywood — is getting out of prison early., according to records filed in San Diego federal court. The motion for a sentence reduction and all supporting documents were filed under seal. The order granting the request merely cites “extraordinary and compelling reasons.
Oftentimes, that’s code for cooperation with authorities, and, at the very least, we know that Hanson played nice for Australian prosecutors by testifying for them in a related case.Hanson, 41, has been in federal custody since his 2015 arrest at a Carlsbad golf course, the result of an undercover FBI sting targeting his global drug-trafficking and illegal sports-betting empire.
Raised in Redondo Beach, Hanson earned a walk-on spot on the University of Southern California football team in 2004, giving him status and access to an elite crowd. He leveraged that to kick-start his illegal enterprises. He trafficked cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy and heroin in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Australia and elsewhere. And he ran an offshore sports-betting website that relied on violent enforcers to collect debts.
Back in the U.S., Hanson stalked Cipriani with the help of a private investigator, sending graphic threats to him and his wife, and pouring fake blood on his parents’ grave.Hanson ultimately pleaded guilty to a racketeering conspiracy and conspiracy to distribute drugs. The investigation into his organization opened doors to even bigger criminal enterprises.
