Blow
STORY PREFACE
It was a fateful meeting that would lead to dire consequences for many people. George Jung, doing time for smuggling marijuana, met Carlos Lehder,* doing time for smuggling cars across the US/Canadian border. Within a few years of their discharge from Danbury Correctional Facility, Jung and his cell mate Lehder (who was also serving time for marijuana possession) found a way to do business together. Carlos had a plan: To flood America with cocaine which would destroy the political and moral structure of the United States. As Carlos liked to say (scroll down 60%): Cocaine was the atomic bomb, and he was going to drop it on America.
*In the movie "Blow," Diego Delgado is the Carlos Lehder character.
