Description
With his long beard, ponytail, and ubiquitous advertising, Jamie Balagia — AKA “The DWI Dude” — is well-known in Texas as flamboyant defense attorney who can get drunk driving defendants out of a jam. But when he makes a fraudulent promise, telling the biggest and most dangerous cocaine cartel in Colombia that he can pay off U.S. judges for a cool $1.5 million, making their cases disappear, the FBI is recording with a hidden camera. And “The Dude" is about to go down for money laundering and obstruction. (Original air date 2/21/23)
