BILLY B , JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW. nor MT nor you r right about the "club colombia" house. Although i've seen you have done your research the truth is none of the above. I am from Cali and I was lucky enough to meet the man himself (Don Chepe).Actually I am a close friend of the Santacruz family.Let me tell you, for your info that was a bunch of crap some american journalists wrote in the 80's and after the article was published some people in Colombia an the US started actually to believe in it and then other journalists wrote it as a fact. The real story however is.Don Chepe bought this property for his family back in 1977. Construction started in 78'. It is true it was one of the biggest mansions in Colombia but he never tried to join Club Colombia, he was never interested. The house did not portray the white house nor club colombia. He did like club Colombia beer however.The mansion was detroyed in 92' because Mr. santacruz wanted a bigger one so that his 4 younger children would have their own room(space). This second house (" sat abandoned and ha since been looted and only the shell remains" that is accurate Billy B) was never completed because Santacruz was assasinated by rival Norte del Valle Cartel in a meeting in Medellin in March 1996. He was betrayed by Carlos Castanio (head of paramilitary group at the time) THESE ARE ALL FACTS FROM AN INSIDER.
