The Feds Busted Me With Ghost Dope — Then Sent Me To Prison For 63 Months | Josh Foriska
Description
Josh Foriska grew up in a good family with a father who was a cop — and still chose to sell drugs, built his way into a large drug conspiracy, led police on a high speed chase, and eventually got indicted by the federal government in a major conspiracy case before taking a plea deal involving ghost dope that produced a 63 month federal prison sentence.
