These huge drug lords like Escobar or Chapo fly way too close to the sun. They never last. What's the point of amassing billions of dollars if it's going to end up seized by the government? What's the point of 'having power' if you spend your whole life hiding from the military, waiting for the day a stun grenade will go off and your brains will be on the wall?

I'd much rather be a Carlo Gambino type of dude. He had more money than he could spend in 10 life times( and could have had way more if he was greedy), set up is own relatives for life, everyone from killers to politicians feared and respected him, and he died in his own god damn bed.

Theres a doc on television with the same name..probably on Youtube. He should of been unstoppable but he's the glowing example that no matter how much money and power you have in life, you can get too big headed and lose it all.

Arrogance is really a killer, what made him think he could blow up a plane with no sort of retaliation?

He was a sociopathic maniac at that point. Bombing the cars of govt officials and damn near blowing up blocks. Got away with too much..no one had the balls that was close to him to say "Thats enough".
