Owen Hanson on USC, Sneaking PEDs Across Mexico: I Chased That Rush For The Rest of My Life
Owen Hanson’s life journey took him from the beaches of Southern California to USC’s volleyball courts—and ultimately into the dangerous world of trafficking. Hanson recounts how, after being redshirted as a backup volleyball player at USC, he sought out PEDs in Tijuana, Mexico. Guided by a bodybuilder, he crossed the border carrying steroids hidden in a makeshift “banana” strapped to his body, recalling the intense rush and fear of sneaking illegal substances across customs. This moment marked the start of Hanson’s obsession with that adrenaline high, which later propelled him from doping on campus to becoming a major smuggler and money launderer for a cartel.

Trap Lore Ross on Lil Durk Accused of Ordering 6 Additional Hits in New Paperwork (Part 5)
Trap Lore Ross shed light on serious new developments surrounding Lil Durk. According to recently unsealed federal paperwork, Durk allegedly ordered six additional hits beyond the already known murder charge. Ross highlighted that one of these hits specifically ties back to a 2021 attempted attack on rapper Quando Rondo in Waycross, Georgia—an incident Durk's camp previously downplayed. The paperwork suggests a broader conspiracy involving key players within Durk's OTF crew, with some sections heavily redacted, hinting at confidential witnesses poised to testify. Ross emphasized that while charges like the Stephon Mack murder aren’t currently filed against Durk, the information could lead to future indictments. Despite these alarming allegations, Durk’s attorney, Drew Findling, is regarded as a formidable defense lawyer, potentially giving Durk a fighting chance in the complex case.
