Boston George Claims He Made $100 Million as a Drug Smuggler for Pablo Escobar

George “Boston George” Jung

“Basically I was no different than a rock star or a movie star. I was a coke star.”

As Pablo Escobar’s leading smuggler, George Jung was making millions per trip — and living large.

He claimed to have made over $100 million total, which he stashed in an offshore account. At one point, Jung had so much money and cocaine to spare that he’d pile the coke on tables and burn his cash.

But then his whole world came crashing down.

Colombian Cartel Allegedly Smuggled Cocaine in Women’s Breast Implants

Drug trafficking organizations are known for their ingenious methods of sending their products all over the world in hopes if minimizing law enforcement detection.

According to myjoyonline.com — a Cali-based drug cartel specialized in coercing women to get breast implants that were actually filled with liquid cocaine.

I gotta admit, this is pretty clever.

The group known as “The Surgeons” would allegedly recruit women and force them to get breast and calf implants for which they used prosthesis filled with liquid cocaine.

The women were promised well-paying jobs in Europe if they agreed to have cosmetic surgery in makeshift operating rooms in motel rooms or rented apartments.

Colombian Gang Puts a $70,000 Bounty On Drug-Sniffing Dog

BOGOTA, Columbia — Her talent for sniffing out drugs has led to the capture of at least 245 people and the seizure of 9 tons of cocaine from the powerful Urabeños gang in Colombia.

But now Sombra (Shadow, in English), a 6-year-old German shepherd who is incredibly popular among children and adults alike, is in danger.

The Urabeños mafia has put a bounty of 200 million pesos ($70,000) on her head, according to the Colombian police, so the dog had to be moved to Bogota’s El Dorado airport over fears for her safety.

Along with her usual handler, Jose Rojas, Sombra is now escorted by other officers to keep an eye on her, police said.

Over the past three years, Sombra has become “the torment of Otoniel, seizing 9 tons of cocaine,” anti-narcotics police said in a tweet.

Dairo Antonio Úsuga, alias “Otoniel,” is the head of the Urabeños, one of Colombia’s most powerful criminal groups and one of the country’s most wanted men.

“Our German shepherd, Sombra, has participated in almost 300 operations,” Col. Tito Castellanos, the deputy director for the anti-narcotics police, told Colombian news agency RCN.

She has already won two K-9 Medals of Courage for her valor and might get a third one this year, he said.
