I Spent Years Making Millions Smuggling Cocaine For Pablo Escobar And No One Had Any Idea
Briefly

The journey began with trips to the Bahamas for marijuana, which dwindled in supply. Seeking a reliable source, a plane was purchased for drug trafficking to Colombia. The first successful trip in 1979 yielded vast profit, but a significant financial loss followed due to a mishap. Threatened by Colombian suppliers for an outstanding debt, the situation escalated to life-threatening threats. Faced with danger, the decision shifted from marijuana to cocaine, recognizing its higher profitability amid desperation to protect family.
I decided to go where the pot grows: Colombia. But to get to Colombia, I would need to buy an airplane and learn how to fly it.
My first trip to Colombia in 1979 was a huge success. I brought back a ton of marijuana and sold it and made a few hundred thousand dollars.
I owed those Colombian suppliers $800,000 for that weed. Two weeks later, they sent thugs to kidnap me. And those thugs put a gun to my head.
Up until that point, I had avoided anything to do with cocaine. But my life was on the line now, and so were the lives of my family.
