An heir to a multi-million dollar fortune pleaded guilty to drug charges in a federal court in the state of Idaho. What does this have to do with Guam? According to court documents some of those drugs were being smuggled here and Palau.

He was born into poverty but later elevated to millionaire status after years of litigation which ultimately confirmed he was one of several heirs to the late billionaire Larry Hillblom, the co-founder of shipping company DHL.

Hillblom was a resident of Saipan. He died in a plane crash in 1995. After his death, several woman alleged he fathered their children. After years of trying to establish paternity, it was confirmed that Larry Hillbroom, Jr. was in fact his son.

Hillbroom was living the high life, but not in a good way. In 2005 in Guam he was busted for drugs. In 2017 was charged with drug trafficking in Palau. In June of last year Hillbroom was indicted in the District Court of Idaho along with Morgan Kenney and Sean Robert Wathen for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine. Later that same year in October a superseding indictment included Zachary Craig Carlson in the conspiracy. On Sept. 1, Hillbroom signed a plea agreement. In that plea agreement, he admits that in summer of 2015 through February 2016 he was involved in an organization that distributed meth. He and other co-conspirators would transport meth from North Idaho to Guam and Palau through international airports. They would conceal a mixture and substance containing meth in varied ways, either on their person or in their luggage and pass through airport security.

Once in Guam and Palau, the coconspirators would meet with them and other local contacts providing them with the drugs so that it could be distributed.

Although his plea agreement left out some of the intricacies of the drug conspiracy, the sentencing memo filed involving co-defendant Morgan Kenney provided more details about this multi-million dollar drug ring. Kenney, it turns out is his younger brother. He moved from Palau to live with his brother Hillbroom in Hope, Idaho when he was 21-years-old. He is now 35 and admitted to being involved in the drug conspiracy with his brother. He admitted he traveled at least three times to Guam and Palau to sell drugs.

Court documents reveal that his brother's trip was part of several others involving multiple people in Hillbroom's network. For this particular conspiracy Hillbroom allegedly bought a total of 108 pounds of meth from two suppliers in Washington. He and co-conspirators traveled over 25 times to and from Palau and Guam where he would sell the 108 pounds of meth for $24.5 million dollars.

Hillbroom is scheduled to be sentenced in the U.S. District Court of Idaho before Judge B. Lynn Winmill on Feb. 8, 2022.
