Corrupt Lawyer Gets Locked up with his Client Jun 19, 2025

Show notes

In this episode with Matt Cox, Michael McAlister reveals how a massive federal grow-op hunt—including Blackhawk helicopters, ATF raids, and RICO charges—upended his life. He survived a near-fatal off-road crash, federal prison, and the betrayal of his own lawyer. Through survival tactics and mental resilience, he turned his sentence into a turning point—writing a true-crime book (“Catch 420”) and redefining his purpose behind bars.
