IAmJacksUserName said:How about Pablo Escobar? He was the world's largest cocaine kingpin, and at one point was the seventh richest person in the world according to Forbes. That didn't stop him from being captured (Although he escaped) and eventually killed by the police. Both Carlos Ledher and George Jung were two of the top guys in the Medellin cartel, yet they both got busted along the way. To quote the movie Traffic, no one gets away clean.
Get your facts straight.
Pablo Escobar was killed by a vigiliante group who called themselves Los Pepes, or, the people persecuted by pablo escobar, a group of rebels whose families had been harmed by pablo escobar and sought revenge, gunning him and his bodyguard down in the streets. He was not killed by police.
As well, to further show your ignorance, perhaps you should look into the Ochoa family. Specifically Jorge Ochoa, one of Pablos partners in the Medellin caretel. He was arrested by colombian police, served a very short several year sentence, and was released and allowed to keep the majority of his money made. Hes now retired away in the mountains near Medellin living the good life. So to say every kingpin gets fucked is the most ignorant shit ever heard. 99.9% do NOT. You cant base that statement on Pablo, he was a VERY violent and flambouyant man, that is why he failed for longevity. He brought about his own demise. Those at the 'top of the chain' are the smartest people you will ever meet, this is how they got to the 'top' and this is how they stay at the 'top'.
NOW your everyday street dealers, these are the ones who get busted left and right. But when the DEA follow the 'trails' per say up the chain, they almost always hit a 'break' in the chain, this break is whhere the seperation between dumbass 'dealers' and highly intelligent 'suppliers' occurs. The DEA VERY RARELY are able to get any farther than that.
I love how people who dont even deal drugs seem to beleive they know how its done... maybe you know how some junk feeding his habit slangin bags in an ally 'works', but beyond that your all fuckin clueless. Anyone can sell on the streets, but it takes a tried and true buisness man of high intellect to operate in the large scale.
