John "Red" Shea delves into his early years selling narcotics and meeting notorious crime figure Whitey Bulger when he was 15. Shea was a promising boxer, succeeding in amateur championships and the Golden Gloves while simultaneously running with a crew associated with Bulger. His dual life as a pro boxer and dealer led him to California, aiming to advance his boxing career amidst Mexican fighters, before returning to New England. Shea recounts a pivotal moment when he sought to establish his own supply line. His daring move involved a risky trip to Florida with $20,000 to secure his first kilo. Despite doubts about the transaction, Shea emerged successful, smuggling the product back to Boston strapped to his body. This marked the beginning of his deeper involvement in the trade, setting the stage for his expansion into larger quantities.
