Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding is accused of running a massive and violent drug trafficking operation -- routinely shipping hundreds of kilos of cocaine and ordering people to be killed in the process ... and now he's wanted by the FBI.
Martin Estrada, the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said on Thursday Wedding and 15 others have been charged in a 16-count indictment.
43-year-old Wedding -- who used aliases like "El Jefe," "Giant," and "Public Enemy" -- and his accomplices are being accused of conspiring to ship huge quantities of cocaine from Colombia to Mexico and through stash houses in the LA area .
