Failed businessman Douglas B. Spink played a role in a
marijuana-for-cocaine operation, authorities say

When former Portland businessman Douglas B. Spink was nabbed Feb. 28 in
Washington with an estimated $34 million in cocaine in his Chevy Tahoe,
the arrest sent shock waves through a major drug-trafficking
organization that trades British Columbian marijuana for Colombian
cocaine.

"They're all freaked out," Spink's boss, Robert V. Kesling, said in an
April conversation recorded by federal agents and detailed in a filing
in U.S. District Court in Seattle. "Everybody's freakin' out."

This week, the U.S. attorney's office in Seattle for the first time
named Spink as part of a conspiracy to distribute "sizable" quantities
of cocaine and marijuana. That includes the 372 pounds of cocaine
seized from Spink and 452 pounds of marijuana worth more than $1
million seized in early March from a trailer parked in Woodinville,
Wash., authorities say.

Spink, a Reed College physics graduate, was known in Portland as an
aggressive mergers-and-acquisitions entrepreneur during the height of
the technology boom in the late 1990s and early 2000s. By 2002, he was
bankrupt, claiming more than $1 million in debts from lawsuits and
failed business deals. After filing bankruptcy, he moved to British
Columbia, where, according to associates and Internet postings, he
maintained his interest in horse breeding and high-risk sports such as
BASE jumping, which involves parachuting from buildings, cliffs, radio
antennae and other high places.

Authorities last month arrested Kesling, named as an organizer and
manager of the 3-year-old drug organization and the owner of the
cocaine found in Spink's SUV. Also arrested was Wesley K. Cornett, who,
along with Spink, is named as a drug runner for Kesling. Cornett
allegedly handed off five suitcases filled with cocaine to Spink in an
Everett, Wash., parking lot shortly before Spink's arrest during a
traffic stop in Monroe, Wash.

Spink faces a July 11 trial on a charge of possession of five kilograms
or more of cocaine with intent to distribute. He has pleaded not
guilty, but the U.S. attorney's office says in this week's filing that
it expects to resolve the case through a guilty plea. He faces at least
10 years in prison if convicted.

Kesling faces a July 12 trial on five charges involving possession and
conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana. Cornett faces a July 12
trial on a charge of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana.

An affidavit filed last month in Kesling's case, given by Special Agent
James Harris of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency,
details the aftermath of Spink's arrest.

"Those guys are so mad, man," Kesling told Cornett in an April
conversation mentioned in the affidavit. "They're like, what the
(expletive) were you guys doing in a (expletive) parking lot?"

Kesling advised Cornett to flee to Mexico to wait out Spink's trial,
threatening him if Cornett became a "rat."

During Kesling's arrest in Woodinville, authorities found 12 firearms
and ammunition in his home, including several assault weapons, and a
loaded 9 mm pistol in his vehicle, along with $3,200 in cash and his
U.S. passport.
