Bhagavan “Doc” Antle – featured in the Netflix series Tiger King – pleaded guilty to animal trafficking and Money Laundering in 2023 for overseeing the sale and purchase of cheetah cubs, lion cubs, tigers, and chimpanzees, all of which are protected as endangered species under both CITES and US law. He utilised bulk cash payments to hide illegal transactions, falsified paperwork, and requested that payments for endangered species be made to his nonprofit to hide the transactions as ‘donations’. Furthermore, investigators found evidence that Antle was also using cash acquired by illegally transporting and harbouring immigrants, further demonstrating the frequent convergence between different crime typologies in many criminals’ repertoires.
