Scott West spent 4 years in federal prison after being convicted of money laundering via a marijuana trafficking conspiracy. As part of his conviction, Scott also had 8 million dollars worth of assets seized by the federal government. When Scott got out of prison, not many people gave him a chance of bouncing back; but according to Scott, the doubt of the public and his peers is what drove him to build back his restaurant and real estate empire bigger than ever.
