Eldorado Posted February 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Pablo Escobar's “criminal fortress” – a white eight-storey concrete mansion in the Colombian city of Medellin - has been demolished in an official government ceremony. The infamous drug kingpin and his family lived in the Monaco building during the 1980s while he built up an estimated $30bn (£23bn) fortune supplying up to 80 per cent of the world’s cocaine.

EnderOTD Posted February 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Damn, and I thought El Chapo raked in the dough, Pablo made twice as much back when the American dollar was worth more than the note it was printed on! Hopefully the demolition helps stymie the glorification of murderous mad men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
