    FBI Informant Blasts Cocaine Quarterback Documentary Over Alleged False Portrayal.A key figure in the takedown of drug kingpin Owen Hanson is publicly condemning a new Amazon Prime docuseries. R.J. Cipriani, a former gambler turned FBI informant, claims the “Cocaine Quarterback” documentary misrepresents his involvement. He alleges the producers deceived him during his interview and painted him in a false light.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cipriani states he was tricked into participating after initially refusing the project. Amazon and the production company, Unrealistic Ideas, have declined to comment on the allegations.

    From High Roller to Unwitting Money Launderer

    The three-part series details Hanson’s rise from a USC football player to a central figure in an international drug trafficking ring. Cipriani, known by his moniker “Robin Hood 702” for his charitable giving, entered Hanson’s orbit through a staking agreement. He believed a backer was funding his high-stakes gambling with profits going to charity.Cipriani recalls a disastrous gambling session in Sydney where he lost $2.5 million. The series presents this as a key moment, with Hanson calling Cipriani a “money laundering magician.” Cipriani insists he was an unwitting pawn, only later realizing the funds were cartel money being laundered through his gambling.

    A Campaign of Intimidation and a Turn to the Feds

    The documentary chronicles the violent fallout from the gambling loss. Hanson allegedly escalated his efforts to collect the debt. Cipriani says he received videos of cartel beheadings as a threat.The intimidation campaign culminated with the desecration of Cipriani’s mother’s grave. This act was the final straw that pushed him to contact federal authorities. He secured a proffer agreement with his lawyer before providing information, a crucial detail he feels the documentary downplays.Cipriani is angered that the series leaves room for doubt about his motives. He insists he became an informant solely to stop Hanson’s aggression, not to gain immunity. His cooperation was pivotal in the case, which ultimately led to 21 guilty pleas. This was just the beginning of his work as a federal informant, which later included exposing a major casino corruption scandal.
