If the Americans go properly after them, they will get them. I think they’d only be out of reach in Russia. Who wants to live in Russia?!
Yea and dont forget those raids to houses on Christmas morning and smashing peoples houses up and traumatising children.

What are you talking about. Nobody openly smokes a joint in front of the police, want to know why? Fear of getting arrested.

The elephant in the room was the rave scene coming at the same time as the drug escalation in cities like London Manchester Glasgow Dublin etc etc. Timing.
Criminals are so stupid. This reward will never be paid to anyone, but the amount of information they will get from other criminals hoping a phone call will be enough to claim it will be endless 😁😁 sorry pal we already have that info 😂😂😂😂
Christy seems to smart to attract attention from blood shed and feuds, looks like his boys have a made a pigs ear of things.

Got a point though life is cheap in Africa let alone being a white man you would get sold out and handed over real quick with a 5 million dollar bounty on your head! Christys money is long though and that’s on his side. what’s double the reward money in bribes if it means your freedom and safe passage.
