Colombian Drug Lord In Panama Running From Assassins

Monday, October 13 2008 at 10:27 AM EST
Contributed by: Don Winner

By Rafael Luna Noguera for La Prensa - The supposed Colombian drug trafficker William Tamayo who was arrested in Obarrio last Thursday was in Panama trying to keep from being killed as part of a "settling of accounts" by the famous network of assassins known as Los Machos, loyal to the drug trafficker Wilber Varela, alias Jabón, who was killed in January of this year in Venezuela.

It's always nice to see these pigs reap what they've sown. Hopefully, they'll get him while he's in prison.

The only one that cares about this guy 'might' be his immediate family otherwise the only worthy news is that he didn't run fast enough from the assassins or the law.

If anything, his family probably wishes he was caught by the assassins instead of the cops. If he rolls over on anyone, his whole family will probably pay for it.

Life sucks when the farthest you're able to run from Colombia is Panama. Shows a serious lack of imagination/initiative.

good thing he didn't make it to any parties in Northern Mexico which may as of now taken over as the most violent place in the America's. But again..narco killing narco...free enterprise at work...

Thanx! I've been around Douglas.

I am waiting for a guy to come repair my gas oven. I do not understand the Latino service mentality.

I have been calling the guy's wife for weeks (he speaks no English, and my Spaniah on phone is not so good). He is very busy, but wifey told me he dosn't make his first call until 9:30. Maybe if he started at 8:00, or even earlier, he wouldn't be so backed up.

I had another person who said he would come at 9:00 on a Friday to run a new electric line, but would call first. Well, no call, and he didn't arrive. But, unexpectedly he appeared the following Monday. It seems they are all the same here.

I spent much of my life in customer service and hated nothing more than making a wasted trip, and gas didn't cost $4.00 per gallon. But, my time was so much more valuable.

I have been here, cooling my heels, since early in the morning, and will miss my gym appointment.

The guy could come to the US.. Turn state's evidence to help convict traffickers, in the US, or lead to an invasion, by the US, in some small country. gain amnesty, go into the witless protection program for a year or two then resurface, write a book, sell bar B que sauce on the internet... move to the San Juan Islands, in Washington,

I was just thinking of Harry Hill of the NYC La Costra Nostra fame....stranger things have happened

Hey somebody show me where his stash is! jeje... its been a couple months since the cops have turned up 50 million burried in a hole! Its a big problem for these patrons, they got so much money they can't spend it, so very often it just ends up getting burried, they get killed, and millions just rot away in a hole somewhere.

back about 1990, the military in colombia launched a bust on some jungle lab and snagged 38 tons of blow. enough to make a line to the sun and back.......

that bust led them to some warehouse in bogota--i guess it was approximate 5000 ft similar to our warehouse in los angeles--there were fork trucks moving around pallets of us dollars shrunk wrapped to the pallets. these had been there so long that rats had tunnelled through the money. it was all visible on the news cast. and these pallets, roughtly 3 ft high where stacked 3 high. that's a whole lot of them ole wrinkled twenties......filth luchre.

when they spred that dope out on a soccer field, it was like 3 kilos deep covering the field.

when some american tv journalist were interviewing some capo in medellin he commented that they were running a ten million dollar a day cash excess over and above what could be recycled. that gives credence to the money shrunk wrapped on those pallets.
