Launder This

In this episode of Launder This, Chris Feistl (a former DEA agent) joins me again. We talk about the similarities and differences between what really went down on the ground in Colombia when he went after the Cali cartel, as covered in his book 'After Escobar: Taking Down The Notorious Cali Godfathers And The Biggest Drug Cartel In History’, compared to what we see in season 3 of the Netflix show Narcos.

In this episode of Launder This, I talk about why Netflix need to make a ‘Narcos: Bolivia’. The original Narcos and Narcos: Mexico are both big hits but one story remains untold. Enter Bolivia’s Roberto Suárez Gómez, known as the ‘King of Cocaine’. With significant wealth even before drug trafficking, political connections and an empire to rival Fortune 500 companies, Narcos: Bolivia would tell the story of Roberto Suárez Gómez.

In this episode of Launder This, I talk about the 1983 cult classic Scarface movie and the parallels between it and the real world of drug trafficking and money laundering. The film drew inspiration from what was happening in the real world and at the same time the real world went on to draw inspiration from the movie. This is an action packed episode with plenty of cash, drug lords, guns, crooked bankers and much more.
