KRN TV WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SIT DOWN FOR AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SHAUN ATTWOOD. Born in Widnes, Attwood became interested in the stock-market at age 14, trading for the first time at the age of sixteen.[4] After travelling to Arizona regularly to visit his aunts, Attwood moved there and eventually becoming mired in the bubbling rave scene and distributing ecstasy, smuggling up to £4 million.[5] He was arrested in 2002, released in 2007 and was deported back to England. Following his release, Attwood became a speaker and author, chronicling his experiences in prison.[2] His story was featured worldwide on National Geographic Channel as an episode of Locked Up Abroad called "Raving Arizona".[6] Random House published his life story as the English Shaun Trilogy.[7] Since his first book Hard Time was published in 2011, Attwood has authored books on his life and other topics.
