The story of the “Gentlemen Smugglers” is truly one for the history books. A small group of friends from South Carolina launched a global cannabis smuggling ring. Then in 1971, President Reagan and the War on Drugs came calling and ensnared this small, close-knit group of friends in “Operation Jackpot”, the first Presidential sting. Barry "Flash" Foy was tagged with the federal kingpin statute – Code §848 Continuing Criminal Enterprise – and spent 11 years in prison.
