Shaun Attwood

True Crime YouTuber & Author

Shaun Attwood is a former stock-market millionaire and Ecstasy trafficker turned YouTuber, public speaker, author and activist, who is banned from America for life. 

Shaun’s writing – smuggled out of the jail with the highest death rate in America – attracted international media attention to the human rights violations: murders by guards and gang members, dead rats in the food, cockroach infestations…

While incarcerated, Shaun was forced to reappraise his life. He read over 1,000 books in just under six years. By studying original texts in psychology and philosophy, he sought to better understand himself and his past behaviour. 

Shaun is writing a series of books exposing the War on Drugs, featuring the CIA and the cocaine Mafia. He is writing the longest ever Escobar biography: Pablo Escobar’s Story – 4 books totalling over 1,000 pages. 

On his true-crime podcast on YouTube, he interviews people with hard-hitting crime stories and harrowing prison experiences.
