You doing a great job 👏 good info
I’ve just come across your channel & watched this bro (top stuff) I’ve been into all the cocaine cowboys stuff since the documentary came out so this was awesome to watch. It would be great to see more stuff about the other hitmen who were in griseldas crew too put together 10/10 just like this was… (I’m subscribing aswell)
Brilliant content pal
Thy for this upload covering this topic i love the cocaine cowboys documentary story I saw the part 2 when griselda went against the cartel. Ty !! This awesome.
it's cool that your showing the people of miami that were involved in that because about i started looking in to this but there's not a lot of information on all those people i also sometimes wonder who a lot of the people were in miami that had got killed because there was a lot of deaths in that war but they never say who they were so it's interesting to hear it from someone who ACTUALLY has some insight on the whole era
Powerful story good narrative perspective style of coverage with both narrorating seperatly.good techniques
Much needed I been waiting on story on Rafa for years at least 10 I always knew he was special
Great video thanks 💯
That was unreal. Such a cliff hanger at the end 😭😭😭
Awesome cheers mate 👍
Shoutout to Alex. We helped him make Organic HUGE and now we run Miami Vegan food. Alex is my BROTHER and its forever. Alex + Me + Tyler Wisby are the wave in the south. Ya heard me
the background music is fire for no reason

The moral of the story was that Rafa, Griselda, Cumbamba ect were the biggest drug dealers AND killers back then. . Rivi was "brought" into the scene Miami scene much later and then he began living the cartel lifestyle. 😊 "Rivi" wasn't as "CRAZY" as all Columbian killers because Rivi was afraid to help "Miguelíto Perez STAB "Pupo Mejia" at Miami International Airport. . . .Migeulíto had to do the stabbing all by himself.

@@tatebones544 he’s talking about riverito not Blanca … but that whole Griselda organization was undeniable in how they operated and the level of income and influence they built … I’m from bk nyc and grew up around all aspects of the street shxt but def never glamorize or endorse any of it probably cuz I grew up seeing the impact of that lifestyle BUT I believe that legal or not, when a group of ppl are organizing themselves and conducting business in an efficient way to where they earn huge income that goes to support many families and generations … Hate it or love it, groups like Griselda conducted business in an industry that existed because wealthy white American and European ppl have huge appetite for drugs and these groups filled that desire … they took the risks of insane prison terms for brining in cash like few others industries … and none that they’d be able to access

Great interview but my first thought is he needs to be careful. I assume there’s reasons why this information isn’t so easy to obtain.
The picture you have in the video is not of Pinina. That's "El Arete" . Pinina was in fact one of Pablos closest enforcers. He started with Pablo at a very young age.
Pls do videos on Norte de Valle and Cartel de Atlántico

hey buddy you have a link of the interview without you interrupting every 30 sec
The Ochoa brothers were the real power. Pablo was the face and the guy who helped open up the routes to get this stuff safely into America and they went ahead and backed the shipments so that if something happened, you didn't lose your s***. With his routes they were basically guaranteeing the successful delivery of product to America.

Artisanal cocaine was called Fishscale....ether made it high quality...you can't compare that to anything they make nowadays.... quality over quantity. Small batches sold for 50 K in 81 ...that was the equivalent of 80 thousand in today's money ..you could buy an efficiency in Miami beach For 12k ...
I would really like for you to talk about Amado Carillo Fuentes (El Senor de los Cielos) or Heriberto Lazca Lazcano. They are Mexican cartel kingpins.

I don’t claim to be anything other than being in Miami and part of its “nightlife”. But to see so many coming out of the woodwork hustling for the green it’s funny.
