Description

Welcome to The World on Drugs! I'm your Sherpa Steve Furey.
In this show we will try and show you the highs and the lows of both good and bad times.
*No rats allowed*
We do an in depth deep dive into criminals, gangs, drug dealers, and mafias from across the world. This podcast is aiming to look at different subjects, rather than the same ol El Chapo or Pablo Escobar, and deliver them in a comedic light. Being that I am a stand up, most weeks I will be bringing on my friends, and telling them a mind blowing story of one of these criminals. And guess what, i have alot of famous/funny friends !
If you don’t know me, and/or this is your first time listening in, lemme introduce myself
I am Steve Furey a stand up comic. I am a co host of the show #DatingNoFilter on E! I’m a paid regular at the World Famous Comedy Store, tour the country on my own, and probably open for your favorite comics. I also used to sell drugs for a long time when I was younger. Not proud of it, but I think this all allows me to give a different perspective on the two things I know most about, comedy and getting fucked up.
This episode is the last solo one for a while, and we look at Tse Chi Lop,  the alleged kingpin behind Asia-Pacific based international crime supersyndicate, Sam Gor, also referred to as "The Company", and former member of the Hong Kong, Toronto and Vancouver-based triad crime group, the Big Circle Gang. It is believed he produces around 40%-70% of the world's methampehtamine supply, and we take a look on how he does it.
