PABLO ESCOBAR - "The world Most successful Criminal"
.

Pablo Escobar is one man whose name can never be omitted in the history books of crime. Pablo Escobar, a Colombian drug lord, was a son of a farmer before he became the most successful criminal on earth.

During his days, he was responsible for about 80% of all cocaine purchased around the entire world, he made the substance reach places no one else could. He was the leader of Medellin Cartel and his drug empire was bigger than his country's government.

With a net worth of $30 billion, Escobar was the wealthiest man on earth during his time. On today's History Files, we sum up the life of Pablo Escobar with 10 facts about him.

1) In 1980's Escobar offered to pay off his country's total debt of 15 million dollars only if he would be given immunity. Colombian government, however, rejected the offer even though they needed it.

2) Escobar was responsible for the death of over 4,000 people which included a minister of justuce, more than 200 judges and more than 1,000 policemen.

3) He was also a philanthropist. He built stadiums, schools, hospitals and churches for the poor. Average Colombians loved him because of his charitable works and they nicknamed him 'Robin Hood'.

4) Escobar spent around $2,500 (N900,000) every month on rubber bands to hold all his money.

5) He encountered difficulties transporting loads of cash he made each day. To solve this problem, he bought Learjet to hold up to 100 million dollars. Because he couldn't store his cash in the bank, he lost 2.1 billion dollars each year due to rats eating it and water damage.

6) While his family was on the run, his daughter became hypothermatic, to keep his daughter warm, Escobar burned 2 million dollars

7) Escobar smuggled about 15 tons of cocaine per day by stashing the cocaine into old plane tires. Sometimes, he soaked cloths with liquid cocaine and extracted it later.

8 ) He paid around 500,000 dollars to pilots per day to transport his cocaine. At a point, he started smuggling with a remote-controlled submarine.

9) In 1991, Escobar offered to turn himself in to the authorities only if he would be allowed to build his own prison. The Colombian officials agreed and Escobar built a luxurious prison which he named 'The Cathedral'.

10) While serving jail term at 'his prison,' Escobar killed two of his fellow inmates and the prison officials decided to move him to another prison. He broke out of jail before he could be transfered in 1991.

He died 2 December 1993

...but died like a chicken!

Pablo's famous lines were: "Gold or lead".

Meaning : you either take my money or have a bullet in the back of your head.

Most preferred his money offer.


That's how he became successful.

Dude was a phenomenon during his hey days and before he eventually quit this world. He was feared greatly. I wouldn't know if the late Colombian footballer that scored an own goal against Columbia (his team) at the 1994 World Cup Mundial was related to him.

The guy owned Columbia then

He was indeed an enigma whom ultimately became a victim of his own 'success' as an internationally acclaimed and most-wanted criminal. There's a level of 'success' that one can attain in life that can become very problematic.

One can become so rich that he has to trade his freedom as the price for such stupendous amount of wealth. I don't think I want to ever become so rich that I and my loved ones won't be able to move around freely without watching our backs for fear of being kidnapped or smoked-out by the government or rival cartels. That's too much of a price to pay for all the riches in the world.

If you like a little punter now or then, always bet on draws on any Colombian fixture with a high draw odd.

Thank me later.

Tinubu role model

His downfall came as a result of holding on to the CIA's cut.

There's no way you can ship so much drugs globally without CIA protection and logistics.

The movie American Made
detailed how the CIA was up to their necks in drug dealing.

Pablo probably got too big for their liking or too loud and thought he had what it took to outsmart and out gun the Criminal International Association, CIA.

You are right. Regardless, he was either gonna eventually end up like El Chapo (in U.S prison serving multiple life sentences) or die the exact way he did because by the time he met his end, he had become too feared, rich, and powerful even for the Columbian political elite.

Crime pay not
His empire was burnt down by a rival cartel

Behind every great wealth, lies a great crime.

Pablo was not smart enough to transition from street thug to corporate goon.

That's where he fcked up.
