Jet-Winner’s Paraguan Trail: From Viral Fame to a Major Cannabis Bust
Jabari Brown, the 20-year-old who won a private jet in a MrBeast aviation challenge, was arrested in Paraguay after authorities seized a plane with 261.6 kilos of premium, high-THC cannabis. The aircraft, allegedly owned and piloted by Estonian Keith Siilats, was linked to a shipment found with several U.S. nationals detained; prosecutors filed international drug-trafficking charges. The cargo is valued at about $3.6 million and appears aimed at the Brazilian market. MrBeast and his company are not indicated to be involved, and the case is developing.
