About this listen
Welcome back to Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, my little crime crew. This is The Wrap Sheet!
In this solo deep dive, Steve unpacks Operation Oxy Alley - the wildly absurd, deeply disturbing Florida pill-mill scandal where addiction became a tourism industry and pain clinics operated like fast-casual restaurants.
We’re talking about the George brothers, two Florida men who looked more suited selling cocaine in nightclubs than working in healthcare, yet somehow built a multi-million-dollar opioid empire using real doctors, real prescriptions, and shockingly fake ethics.
From out-of-state caravans and church buses full of addicts…to MRI trailers parked behind strip clubs…to monster trucks fueled by pill-mill profits - this episode breaks down the insanity most people never stop to think about.
We also explore the uncomfortable question the George brothers left behind: were pharmaceutical-grade opioids actually safer than today’s fentanyl-laced street pills - and what happens when supply is shut down but demand never goes away?
This isn’t just a crime story.
It’s a warning about greed, broken systems, and what happens when pain becomes a business model.
Plus, a teaser for next week’s episode on the Atlanta Olympic bombing.
