About this episode
Eric Girault grew up in New York City and was selling crack by the time he was 13 years old. Hoping to save him from the streets, his parents moved the family to Atlanta — but Eric’s hustle never stopped. After dropping out of college, he built a successful weed business that made him serious money… until an associate snitched, landing him in federal prison with a 12-year sentence. #DrugEmpire #AtlantaHustler #TrueCrimePodcast #KingpinStories #PrisonInterviews #DrugTrafficking #CrimeDocumentary #LockedInPodcast Thank you to EXPRESSVPN, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: ExpressVPN: Secure your online data TODAY by visiting https://www.expressvpn.com/lockedin to find out how you can get up to four extra months.
