The walls appear to be closing in on Canadian Olympian turned alleged drug kingpin Ryan Wedding … the FBI says one of his top associates has been arrested up north, and is facing charges for cocaine trafficking and money laundering.
Rasheed Pascua Hossain, a 32-year-old from Vancouver, known by the alias “JP Morgan,” was taken into custody by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Friday.
Hossain has been a wanted man since October 28, 2025, when a warrant for his arrest was issued in a U.S. federal court in California.
He’s accused of laundering money for the organization.
The official FBI profile for Hossain now reads, “Captured.”
As significant as his arrest is, 44-year-old Wedding — who competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City — is the head of the snake and the guy the FBI badly wants in custody.
Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel compared Wedding to a “modern-day” version of notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.
In addition to allegedly distributing over 130k pounds of coke a year into the United States (and then Canada), Wedding is accused of ordering a hit on a federal witness who was set to testify against him.
U.S. AG Pam Bondi says the witness was murdered in Medellin earlier this year.
The U.S. has put up a $15 million reward for any information leading to the arrest of Wedding.
