In the early 2000s, Levinson became the exclusive Red Bull vending machine distributor, turning an idea into a multimillion-dollar empire that caught the attention of the biggest names in business โ€” including the CEO of Red Bull himself. From his early days growing up in Boston, to launching a successful international calling card company in the 90s, and later creating chocolate vending machines that made him a fortune, Red Bull was always chasing the next big business play. His patented energy drink vending system could dispense any can โ€” regardless of size or shape โ€” and it revolutionized the vending industry. But just when everything seemed unstoppable, Red Bull the company pulled the plug on the deal, creating chaos among distributors and leading to a $140 million federal indictment that shook the business world. What followed was one of the most dramatic white-collar trials of the decade โ€” a saga of innovation, betrayal, and consequences.
