FBI's Most Wanted Trafficker Ryan James Wedding Surrenders in Mexico

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat


The story of an Olympic snowboarder who then ventured into a 20 year career in trafficking first marijuana, then dozens of tons of cocaine across two borders, ended at the US Embassy in Mexico City last night.

FBI's most wanted trafficker, Ryan James Wedding surrendered himself at the Embassy. He had been wanted for trafficking and ordering multiple murders including that of his longtime partner who became an FBI informant.






Following his trip to Mexico City to meet with Mexican officials, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of Canadian trafficker Ryan James Wedding. He was officially arrested by an FBI HRT team at the US Embassy after turning himself in. Wedding has already been flown out of the country to Los Angeles as part of a prearranged deal.

No word yet if a lawyer helped negotiate his surrender as his previous Toronto based attorney was also arrested as part of the investigation.





An AI modified image of Jeffrey Epstein was posted.


In the weeks leading to his surrender, a 7 year old Instagram account was updated and renamed @bossryanw. The account posted several AI generated images, including several face swaps on Jeffrey Epstein photos. The account quickly gained over 70,000 followers and is believed to have been a trolling account not connected to Wedding.

    1. All this captured nonsense. Law enforcement didn't do shit, he turned himself in. The real question is this: just how fucking bad have these cartel wars gotten that Wedding willingly ran for the American Embassy versus, and at bare minimum using his millions to get some plastic surgery so he could at bare minimum try to disappear in South America or some other non-extraditable country? Hard to believe how many just gave up with the money/crypto easily more than enough for a thousand comfortable lifetimes living simply. Max in Colorado almost makes being tortured to death the easier road.

  3. Two different stories I have seen, he turned himself in at the US Embassy, and then in Vanity Fair, there is an account that the FBI HRT team was involved in a dramatic arrest and a negotiated surrender.

  5. J, from what I have read, it seems to be a negotiated surrender at the US Embassy, so US soil, and those who officially arrested him were from the HRT team and Critical Incident Response Group of the FBI.

      That places him in medium-level narco or client.

  9. Something must have changed. Or there is some other play here. Protection pulled.

    Turning himself in on murder charges....murder of a US witness. And a cooperating witness, who was his right hand. It's not like other ones who just have drug charges.

  22. The FBI "hostile arrest" narrative is pure Hollywood. If people actually listened to what Omar Garcia Harfuch said, it’s clear: Wedding walked into the embassy and turned himself in. You don’t do that unless the exit ramps have all been turned into brick walls.

    The timeline makes it pretty obvious. Ever since Panu was taken out, the writing has been on the wall. Wedding wasn't some untouchable mastermind; he was a liability whose utility was expiring. My guess? He’d been signaling or talking to the Feds for a minute. When you’re caught between a lifetime in ADX Florence and the very real possibility that Iván is about to "retire" you to keep secrets quiet, the embassy starts looking like a five star resort.

    He didn't get "caught" - he chose a side before his own side chose to dispose of him. The walls weren't just closing in; they were about to collapse.

    2. You're not smart. The FBI has caught 6 of its Top 10 Most Wanted in one year, including someone who was on the list for a decade. You think Wedding woke up and turned himself in because he was bored? He did it because he had nowhere to go. He was too much heat for the cartel and he was going to end up on a narcovideo getting his face skinned off. He can't be out in public, because the cops are looking for him and putting heat on everyone else whole doing so. The pressure got him to turn himself in and the FBI was a huge part of that. He made a deal and will snitch on the guys who wanted to sew his face onto a soccer ball. He'll get 25 years, do 10 and live with some of his millions in witness protection until he dies. The fact you don't understand any of this is absolutely mind boggling. 6 top 10 captures in a year is amazingly successful and anyone who says otherwise is just a dishonest, partisan hack with stage 4 TDS.

  29. SHOULD say "SURRENDERED because most cops are stupid & innept"

  30. Here's the true story. Feds found out his location. They quietly asked the Mexican security forces to surround his residence. Then they contacted Wedding and told him that there's only two options: 1) night time raid where he could be accidentally killed during a shoot out, or 2) surrender to the embassy while the locals watch him get there. Wedding obviously chose the latter. There's no deals to be made. He will get life in prison and that's that.
