THE THIN LINE
KINGPIN TO EDUCATOR PRESENTS
THE THIN LINE
Corruption. Conspiracy. Consequences.
There's a thin line between upholding the law and becoming part of the problem. This two-day intensive course exposes how criminal networks infiltrate law enforcement and corrections from the inside out—using manipulation, pressure, and opportunity.
Taught by Margarito "Jay" Flores, a former top-tier cartel trafficker turned government cooperator, The Thin Line reveals the realities of how corruption starts and the devastating consequences that follow. Jay delivers firsthand stories from both the streets and the prison system, breaking down how officers—sometimes unknowingly—get pulled into criminal conspiracies.
This course doesn't preach—it warns, educates, and empowers.

  • The role of phones and digital communication in enabling criminal networks

  • Behind-the-scenes look at how criminal cases are built against dirty cops

A Hard Truth from Someone Who Lived It
In this course, I'll share the money I made—and the price I paid. I speak openly about how it all unraveled, and why no amount of cash is worth your badge or your freedom. I'll also break down how something as simple as a cell phone can become the most dangerous tool in any criminal operation—and how easily contraband becomes conspiracy.
