The 43-year-old is accused of orchestrating violent crimes, including the murders of two individuals in Canada in November 2023 as retribution for a stolen drug shipment, as well as ordering another murder over an unpaid drug debt.

He faces eight felony charges, including conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and leading a continuing criminal enterprise, and is one of 16 defendants indicted in this case. Authorities have seized significant assets from the operation, including over a ton of cocaine and more than $3 million in cryptocurrency. Wedding's criminal history includes a prior conviction in 2010 for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, and he is also facing unresolved drug trafficking charges in Canada dating back to 2015.
