If he shredded Documents for Stanford you have to wonder how many Documents were shredded in the DEA while he was there,,,,

...or how much evidence he fabricated for bust to further his career...

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

papi....you're talking about fabio (jr) i presume. not el gordo? last time i saw the mrs, maybe 98-99 she looked like most wealthy colombians......wrapped up to kill in world class finery, hair and nails exceptionally well done and svelt, to be short. how has she changed? remember, it's not the age, it's the milage. she couldn't be much more than 40-45 ish, max.

well it's ten or eleven years since they locked up fabio. so she's been on her own. is she still living on the estate? or did that get sequestered by the state? they have a huge stable complex in caldas also. and they used to have a big ranch in florida as well. now? who knows. i knew a gringo guy i ran into once here in florida that did stuff for the ochoas here (???? who knows what) and that guy lives in puerto rico. he spoke like he knew a lot.

that's interesting about the mrs....and sad. the fast lane can do that to you. did she still look like money?

Topic Quote: Ex-DEA Head Who Rounded Up Colombia's Fabio Ochoa Busted & Led Away in HandCuffs
=============================
Link Heading below is totally different ?
Former DEA chief posts bond in Stanford scandal
========================
So,, where did you cut and paste YOUR SPIN ?

The link says he was just "Tak'n out the Trash" and he turned himself in.. Really,, it's not illegal to take out the trash,, or,, maybe it is ?

or

Maybe your trying to see if your creative writing course was worth it ?

Naaaa,, you cut from one source,, decided on your heading and pasted from another and left out their heading ?. I'll never know why because the paste your posted had the guy in shackles but the link didn't hit on that much ?

I think the guy is innocent,, just think about this:
Quote: The paperwork -- stored in the company's security office on the fringes of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport -- were copies of electronic records readily available to prosecutors, said Raffanello, who traveled the hemisphere responding to company crises.

Really,, stored and available,, honest,, you don't keep records forever,, plus,, they might have electronic backups somewhere.

Then again:

Colombian Chickens are crowing about the new President of the U.S. who will assure that From each according to their ability to each according to their need.

The fix is in-he wouldn't do it unless he knew full well he'd get away with it and be paid well for his trouble.

The Ochoas got the sweetheart deal of the century, but they couldn't leave the "life" behind, oh well.

nail on the head, billy.................they had all that colombia and the dea could offer and 'jr' decides to whack some NY policeman. smart!

i don't know if they showed the pictures of their digs on tv in the states, but those folks were livin WAY high on the hog. and for some dumb vendetta, now jr is doin a lifetime in the slam and the whole family empire has gone the way of the whale. i wont say 'pity' cause it's not. they were an extension of pablo's reign of terror and have paid the price. and the wifey is now a 'power' has been tryin to live off her fantacies from the past. age/mileage.....take your pick.
