THE FBI whistleblower who helped crush a global drug cartel has angrily told Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg to set the record straight and rectify a new documentary about his astonishing story.
High-stakes gambler RJ Cipriani, known as "Jackpot," found himself entangled in the dark underworld of Owen Hanson — a former USC football walk-on turned drug kingpin who ran a massive illegal sports betting and money laundering empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Cipriani told The U.S. Sun earlier this year that, following Hanson's release from prison, he was ready to meet him again - this time in a boxing ring rather than a casino to help raise money for the "broke" former crime boss.
Hanson has just released a book entitled The California Kid, which details his astonishing rise and fall.
However, Cipriani is seething with the contents, which he says omits key elements of the tale, while leaving his name linked to Hanson's money laundering network.
Wahlberg's Unrealistic Ideas production company has used Hanson's work to produce a warts-and-all documentary due early next year.
Cipriani, 63, said he will use "every legal remedy at my disposal to clear my good name" and stressed he would have no problem taking Wahlberg, his organization and Amazon "to the cleaners".
