236: Part 1: DEA Agent Ran Undercover Ops for 30 Years – Now He Writes for Yellowstone

Retired DEA agent J. Todd Scott went from running undercover operations and dismantling cartel networks to consulting on hit TV shows like Yellowstone. In this episode of Game of Crimes, host Murph sits down with Todd to hear stories that most people only see on screen — the brutal reality of DEA operations in Haiti, the mindset of criminals who think they're smarter than everyone, and how nearly three decades of chasing drug lords shaped one of the most unique voices in true crime storytelling. Todd's journey from a small-town Kentucky upbringing to the front lines of America's drug war is a masterclass in resilience, strategy, and reinvention.
