Life as a Career Criminal: Outlaw Biker’s Crazy Stories
05 Jan 2025
Michael Hudson shares his insane life story of being in a biker gang and becoming involved in the international drug trade. Devils of Contrapand: How a Former High End “Escort” Survives South Florida’s Narcotics Underworld In the midst of the most violent period in South Florida’s history Marlene Hudson—a gorgeous ex-call girl—immerses herself—along with her teenage sons, Michael and Douglas—into the perilous world of international drug-smuggling. A criminal industry infested with snitches, junkies, wise guys, and assassins; all intertwined with drug enforcement and geopolitics. Despite murder attempts, prison sentences—daring escapes—and multiple homicides, Marlene and her crew of dope-running-island-jumpers manage to import hundreds of tons of marijuana and cocaine along Miami’s intracoastal waterways. This true crime epic is at once a gripping Blow-style thriller with memorable characters and breathtaking twists, and a Cocaine Cowboys first-hand look at the international drug trade of the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

We went to Guatemala with almost $2 million on the boat. We took about $400,000 cash off the boat and brought it back. I'm looking at it, it's got to be a typo, 22,000 kilos. So I'm reading the indictment. So it was $45.5 million. And I remember when I heard the story,
Not that this is the most ridiculous story. And I thought, man, that's, you know, this is, it's, come on, stop it, bro. And there's the report on the three guys that approach him that he gets into a fight with. And there's a, attached to it is a transcript. And so they pull the pilot and the co-pilot out, you know, the plane. They're standing there. They're like, okay, you guys didn't pay.
And they execute him. Well, Doug just happened to be... taking a piss in the jungle. So he takes off. He flies in there on his private plane, convinces Castro to let these guys go.
They load them all up. This guy's about six foot freaking 11. He carries a 44 Magnum. You walk by there about three in the morning when they're in their REM sleep. Hold your nuts and you walk up in there and you try to get the motorcycle. Bangs on the door butt naked and I rip by about 70 miles an hour and Pat's jaw is, you know, he's like...
Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I'm here with Michael Hudson. Michael Martini Hudson, actually. No, don't say Michael Martini. I'll start over. Martin. Martin? Yeah. On the driver's license, it says Martin because they made a mistake, but it's M-A-R-T-E-I-N-E. That's actual. So just say Michael Martin Hudson.
Okay. Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I'm here with Michael Martin Hudson. And I wrote a story about Mike called... um devils of contraband and which he never really liked the title of but it's about basically he's essentially a part of the genre that is what's known as uh cocaine cowboys uh he was active in well he was he was a part of the uh dirty dozen and then he ends up moving into the um
into smuggling operations in Miami back in the 70s, 80s, 90s. And we'll get into that. And so it's going to be a really interesting story. So check it out. You know, I want to like I typically start most stories. I obviously start, you know, with something interesting. And then I jump back to the origins of like where the person was raised, that sort of thing.
So and you were raised in Arizona, but your mom, but the way it happened was your mom was basically just a maniac teenager, right? She got married young, had two boys, you and your brother, and she ended up getting caught smuggling marijuana from Mexico into the United States. Correct. Right?
And that's kind of like, to me, that's where the story kind of begins because it immediately starts off with smuggling. It ends with smuggling. It starts with your mom. It ends with your mom.
