Shaun once earned millions on the stock market, and then fell into a trading war with the Mafia over the supply of Ecstasy to the Arizona rave scene. He ended up doing time in America’s deadliest prison.

Hear his shocking stories of dodging gang rape and murderous prison guards straight from the horse’s mouth.

Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test, describes Shaun’s story as “the Manchester rave scene meets The Wolf of Wall Street and ends in The Shawshank Redemption.

The talk takes place on Tuesday, March 19, with doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Tickets cost £8 for Square Club Members or £10 for non-members.
