John Willis claims to have been the only white person within Chinese organized crime - and it's backed by FBI agent Scott O'Donnell, who stated he has "never seen" a case like that of Willis. John Willis would become a crime boss for a sect of the Chinese Mafia. That group was a larger Chinese gang called Ping On. They were the ones who accepted him and became the family he needed. From the mid-80s to the late 90s, Willis's rank grew, starting as a loan collector and bodyguard before he became the trafficker behind a multi million dollar oxycodone ring. They called him "Bac Guai," or as the FBI translated it, White Devil. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mysterious-circumstances--5479817/support.
