250: Part 2: How Social Media Is Fueling America's Fentanyl Crisis
About this episode
The episode discusses how social media and technology are exacerbating the fentanyl crisis in America.
In Part 2 of this explosive episode, Game of Crimes sits down with Aaron Graham and Derek Maltz — two law enforcement veterans who've tracked these networks from the front lines — to reveal how technology has handed cartels their most powerful weapon yet. AI and 3D printing have shattered every barrier that once kept counterfeit drug production out of reach. Today, a cartel chemist with a simple machine and an internet connection can manufacture pills indistinguishable from your pharmacy prescription. And those pills move through social media chat rooms and direct messages faster than any law enforcement agency can respond.
