Every one of these deaths is a transaction. Somebody got paid.

EXPLOITED is a series about the monetization of addiction — who manufactures it, who sells it, who profits from it, and why, after hundreds of thousands of dead Americans, almost no one has been held to account. Fentanyl is where Exploited starts. It is not where it stops.

The first episode returns to Española, New Mexico — the town where this began for me. It publishes Monday, October 26, 2026.

I spent three decades asking why people use. I got a reasonable answer. What I never got an answer to is why we let the people who profit from it walk away clean. Gambling, pornography, the platforms, the pharmaceutical companies, the cartels — different products, one business model. Find people in pain and build a market on them. That is the subject of this series.
