He's incredibly cool and collected. I love how he talks about "negotiating with the FARC and blowing the prison wall with grenades" like it's just another dull day at the office.
if you have a lot of correctly held money waiting out , still have many years of jail time left , while having some connections with dangerous organized criminals like the kinds of connections you can make in jail , at that time , these sort of ideas become optional and some what possible depending on the police strength and control in that country.
When an experience is really traumatic people tend to put emotionnal barriers up. That s why a lot of rape victims are not believed when they come to the police because it looks like they are lying
"i just figured I might as well just start running it" i love his simple answers and you can tell by his face and his eyes that's he's being 100% serious, but he is so nonchalant about it, crazy...
Colby. you white kids with persecution complex whining about how ~PC , sjw~ are oppressing white people neeed to shut the feck up. Vice can do contents on whatever topics you like, you fecktard
Sometimes, they were just invited and thought “well this is quite interesting”. It’s not like this guy is starving, he’s now a cocoa businessman, but I imagine the added income must be nice.
@@lodersracing9999% of criminals can’t do this, this guy was going to succeed at whatever he chose he just put his time into drugs and now with that same brain and determination he looked around reaccessed his life and took action on what he deemed to be the most lucrative path 10 years prior that exact same thought experiment leads to calling his cocaine dealer IMO I havnt heard it yet but the biggest question people aren’t asking is “We’re you an addict to any of these drugs during this time” Cause that would make a big difference
Maybe to a degree but this guy is definitely talking himself up. All that shit about running his own section of the prison and potentially blowing a hole in the wall to escape, etc, is such bs. To be honest, I reckon he was just used and abused throughout the prison, looks like he might have caught something from his stay too. He looks and sounds incredibly timid, it's hard to imagine anyone listening to him long enough for him to accomplish anything. Then again, I'm just a guy who's probably watched too many movies.
@@charleshaney7733 as stupid as it sounds I've tried coke about 20 to 30 times and crystal meth twice in my life. I was just about to respond to this comment. Coke doesn't give you confidence and yes one thing I always tell everyone is that crystal meth makes you feel invincible extremely confident and powerful!
@@jr.rangeeel7624 Yikes. You sound like the worst crystal meth advocate haha. And cocaine DOES give you a false sense of confidence, as does meth. But imo, coke>meth lol
We can all go on a mental holiday together. 2 weeks of sun, sea, sex, sand, booze, sex, minge, fanny, and tits, and booze, and sex. Next minute the only shagging he's getting is from his cell buddy
Haven’t had any good coke since the late 80’s. The 70% cut trash around these days is embarrassing considering the amount still being smuggled in year after year. Greedy bastards stepping on it until there’s nothing left.
small slices of someone's life like this are really fascinating. it's always interesting to hear someone's life's extremity when it sounds impossible to imagine yourself in it. there is no need to judge, just a perfect opportunity to just listen
So crazy, cool, unbelievable and unique everyone’s life is. If I told someone some of the shit I’ve done in my lifetime they’d look at me and laugh. 🤣 Life is pretty surreal when you get into thinking very, very deeply about certain things and how everything in your life happens for a reason.
Don't believe that dont get high on your own supply bollocks, like this guy says the stress and paranoia of living that life is immense. Threat of getting killed and also facing decades in jail youvwould need to get high!!!
@@mattmccalla3014 since when is drug dealing a legal thing? I didnt mean illegal videos, but videos about illegal things? Surely you belong on another side of youtube
Vividly maybe an indirect correlation having more to do with culture hard work is def valued more in Mexican culture than in American culture so if you said Mexicans tend to be harder workers your not saying it’s because of the shade of their skin in fact you aren’t stating a causation at all only a correlation you are the one that assumed the causation was ethnicity so maybe your a racist who knows
@@kris6682 I think you should probably learn some more reading comprehension. Its kind of funny how much accusations, assumptions, paranoia, and stupidity from a simple sentence that completely contradicts what you're saying to me right now. LOL
Vividly maybe I do have a problem with reading comprehension because your comment makes no sense I was just saying he didn’t actually say any of that was because of race he made a statement of correlation and you turned it into causation
@@firey_up_about_sumthin1866 Yeah! Grammar Police! You can try and say something funny.......but do not, DO NOT, get your spelling or punctuation wrong!
@Alex Anonym He went to prison for drugs not murder. So settle down tough guy. I don't think this guy has the strength to hold a knife, never mind use it.
@Divine human Being The only thing fake is your ideas and the brain where they come from. I come from a small country, where you can't hide things or bullshit anyone because everyone would know immediately. The pandemic is real. The only thing we don't know with absolute certainty is what measures are efficient to stop the spreading, and what measures are less efficient. But better some measures than no measures.
@Stopthewar Taylor He was planning with the members of FARC, a group of Colombian Guerillas. Those are the actual bad motherfuckers with RPGs who'd be busting him out. Not the posh Englishmen who hired some guns.
@@chroma6947 Did you really just say that? The man who's country needed our help on more than one occasions? The country that got it's massive army's ass handed to them by a bunch of American farmers? And you think that Britain is the reason our country is great? We did that is spite of you, not because of you.
South American prisons are a whole different beast. This guy is seriously lucky to be alive, he would be dead if he didn't have the contacts that allowed him to sell good coke in prison.
Great interview. I love the question "What would you say to someone considering going to cocaine trafficking?" as if it was just another profession. It's done in such a way that is neutral, and focused on the topic. Journalism at its best.
Genius type of shady that I kind of respect. Bruh said “damn this sucks that I’m in a foreign prison for trafficking coke... I should traffick more coke in here probably.”
To be fair if I was customs he would be the last person in the queue I would check. Imagine waving him through from Amsterdam with 2000 pills while you're pulling apart the young hoodie guy's luggage to see if he's sneaked an eighth of weed with him lmao
@@hause2775 Dude best advice look for videos months/years old and just copy/paste that on random ass ones where you see more strangely recent comments. It's all about learning the system lmao best of luck to you brother. Chances are, if you're seeing it, out of the 5 some odd billion people on youtube, someone else is too ;)
if life were a game of chesseburgers make you dumb and coke makes you smart that guy would be winning regardless of prision. he made it out alive id give him a golf clap
It was actually quite hard to hear what this person was talking. The loud music was messing things up. I think this has been pointed out before on different videos, so Vice, could you actually do something about the issue! Much smaller creators on RU-vid manage these things well.
The way he laughs about trying to break out just like it’s a game to him lol. And still has a business head on him to run the market on drugs in a prison 🤯
John Lee .. it’s strange that people say things like that. Is that what a G is. Making horrible life decisions that keep you in jail and ruin your family. I’d make make a bet that you have never been in a prison before. It is a horrible place where people loose their souls brother. Nothing G about it just a lot of pain and suffering.
@@michaeljohn8905 You'd be right. I have never been in jail. What I meant about him being a G is doing what he wanted when he wanted with all the FUCKING MONEY he made while not FEARING prison like you. You pansy. He decided that having money was more important than the possibility of going to prison. That was his choice. And I still think he's a G. And I still think you're a pansy.
@@michaeljohn8905 Don't be envious because you went to prison for being black while he went to prison for doing things that were worth going. He had the cash, cocaine, AND hookers! You probably stole a tv and got 10 years. Life sucks but it is what it is.
international drug smuggling is now done on a daily basis by hundreds of thousands of people all across the world through the united states postal service... thanks darkweb!
Well I will say this, this gentleman has got a big pair of balls and a tremendous amount of luck to have survived for that long in those particular prisons in Ecuador but I also have a few more things to say in the comment that follows this one
When he explained the RPG blowing the wall I immediately thought "But no cover fire?" and then he said it. 😂 I played way too many videogames when I was younger. 10-15 hours a day. Addicted.
The least suspicious you look the least suspicious you look. Once a beautiful tiny girl told me " I could easily traffic drugs if I wanted, no one would ever be suspicious about me " (me in my head= "as if the cops don't know this already").
In his words, I did not hear a single drop of regret for those young people who are addicted to drugs. All his words were aimed only at his benefit ... How can you just say that this is a dangerous business? This is not a dangerous business - this is a business that destroys young people by making them addicted to drugs.
The human race is a race of addicts, be it burgers, sugar, sex, internet, drugs, fast driving, work, money, fame, power etc. We are all addicted to something and we are all involved in the supply of these somethings. Take responsibility for your own actions and don't blame others.
Someday I will tell my own story about being in that industry too. I'm always aware that I'm amongst the very lucky few that didn't end ever end up locked up 😊
