Born in Widnes, Attwood became interested in the stock-market at age 14, trading for the first time at the age of 16.[5] After travelling to Arizona regularly to visit his aunts, Attwood moved there and became involved in the rave scene as an ecstasy smuggler and dealer.[6] He was arrested in 2002, released in 2007 and was deported back to England. Following his release, Attwood became a speaker and author, chronicling his experiences in prison.[3]
