He was the founder and head of the Cali Cartel. Knocking out about $8 Billion annual in profits during the 90's and controlling 80% of the cocaine market after Escobar got taken out.

:thumbsup

Big Score for the US DOJ!

someone will most defiantly be willing to take his place. You take down one of these guys and two more take his place.

Yeh, but this is the biggest take down of a head kingpin ever out of Columbia. Bigger then Fabio Ochoa or Carolos Lehder even.

I guess presidential bribes down there only go so far.

God bless my father.

He stop paying the taxes or somethign

Hrmm you aren't talking about a nobody there .... the spot will be hard to fill

It goes down until somebody makes a better offer

One of my business partners attorneys in Miami handled Pablo's legal cases in the US.

Nice. I have about every book, documentary, and video ever produced about Pablo Escobar, directly or indirectly. As evil as he was, the stories are nothing short of fascinating.

It's weird to look at faces and place them with xyz actions.
GL to him :thumbsup

Yeh, he told me some hair raising stores when he would go down there to the ranch.

He had to contact the DEA every trip and let them know exactly what was going on so they understood the purpose of the meetings was just legal affairs.

He was actually a very generous person although obviously a cold hearted killer as well. But the people loved him no doubt.

Ironically, I just posted about this elsewhere today. I have a friend from Colombia, and she's given us great insight into the other side of the story. The great majority of the underprivlidged people in Colombia love him to this day, as he was very generous with them.

Escobar spent lots of money on hospitals, schools etc, that's why people loved him, but he was a ruthless murderer (ever heard of the 'second smile')

He robbed from the rich and gave to the poor.

We can only hope . . . . they bring back old school power struggles if more than one steps up.

Those were the days

Where do you think John Gotti got the idea?
