Former Olympic snowboarder Ryan James Wedding, now a fugitive and one of the world's most powerful drug lords, has been indicted by the U.S. government on charges including murder, money laundering, and drug trafficking. Authorities believe he is hiding in Mexico under the protection of the Sinaloa Cartel, with the FBI offering a $15 million reward for his capture.
