Pablo Escobar was not only the most notorious in history, but also one of the richest criminals, and by the time of his death his personal fortune had skyrocketed to $30 billion, about $64 billion in inflationary terms, and as the founder and leader of cartel businesses, Escobar wiped out competitors and created a multibillion-dollar empire of hallucinogens, and in the 1880s and early 1890s, Cartel Medicine almost monopolized the narcotics trade in the United States. Escobar controlled the trafficking routes and supplies, which meant he had so much money that he didn't know how to use it and squander it, and he used his wealth to expand his business.
Before becoming Alpa Dino, Pablo Escobar cut in Midi's underworld crime as a low-level thug, his youth was spent in fraud, and by the early '70s, he transitioned to more serious crimes such as kidnapping, allegedly earning a ransom of $100,000 by detaining a media executive, which was his first taste of real money, but when he got into the drug trade and started working for local drug smugglers, the cash really began to roll in, and by the age of 22, Escobar was worth $1 million, and by the age of 26 he was worth $3 million, Escobar's greed was endless, he decided to develop on his own, in 1975, Escobar flew an airplane along the smuggling route between Colombia and Panama and the United States, developed his own hallucinogen business, this was just the beginning of Escobar's Midia drug cartel, he wanted to expand as soon as possible and achieve it by any means necessary.
The cartel saw the movement of a hostile drug dealer, who was most likely dispatched at the behest of Escobar, and as the cartel operations in the U.S. demand group for narcotics expanded, Skibber and his crew moved from small planes such as Pipper-Pa, eighteen hidden cargo planes, large cargo aircraft like Douglas, Escobar's wealth and notoriety, reached new heights in the 1880s, the midline cartel in California, Profitable new smuggling routes were established, where to Puerto Rico and Florida, Escobar made so much money that he had to buy a jet private airliner just to move his money around, and while various expenses piled up, they were not enough to affect profit margins, and the cartel reportedly spent $1,000 a week on rubber bands to bundle his dollars because of too much cash.
Escobar continued to expand his narcotics empire, buying land on norman Island, which he bought with the help of criminal financier Robert Visco, and with Carlos Pi Escobar, co-founder of the middle cartel, established a transshipment point on the island of the Bahamas, and after the purchase of land, Escobar began to set out to build a large-scale operation, he built a one-kilometer-long airstrip, a port, a hotel, and even a refrigerated warehouse, To store the drugs of all cartel businesses, the island soon became an important transit point on the cartel's most important smuggling routes, with profits reaching record highs. At the height of its power, the median cartel earned $70 million a day, or $149.5 million, adjusted for inflation.
Escobar used the profits to buy Australian dollars and Annapolis and Amphia, a lavish estate worth $2.23 billion in 2006, including a Spanish colonial house, a sculpture park and a zoo full of exotic birds and animals, and when asked by reporters about his drug smuggling business, he said that if he wanted to complete an illegal business, he only had to bribe someone here, bribe someone there, and then pay a friendly banker to help you bring the money back It's done, for him, crime and money-making are both very simple things, his actions are no secret, many people in Colombia actually have a lot of respect for Escobar, he tried to cultivate himself a rogue Robin Hood-esque image and human setting by building housing projects and football fields, he helped the poor, but at the same time cartel-related crimes were rampant in Colombia, Escobar soon became the number one target of law enforcement at home and abroad, and the cartel's record profits continued to grow in the early 19th century, Government officials in both the United States and Colombia have put more pressure on Escobar.
Fearing extradition, Escobar agreed to turn himself in, but he had a list of demands, and in 1991, the Colombian president said that South Latvia negotiated with Escobar and reached a highly controversial surrender treaty, Escobar agreed to stop all criminal activities, as long as he received a commutation and preferential treatment in prison, Escobar's imprisonment was not a punishment at all, he was imprisoned on the route of Lockhart, a luxury prison designed by Escobar himself, The facilities include a nightclub, sauna, waterfall and football pitch, and they also have a telephone, computer and fax machine, so Escobar can basically run his operations in prison.
However, violence soon broke out, in order to seal these contradictions before they could take place, Escobar had to be transferred to a safer prison, unsurprisingly, Escobar escaped during the transfer, which led to a large-scale manhunt, an operation carried out by the Colombian government, supposedly with the help of American officials and hostile drug dealers, Escobar's Midia hideout, which was discovered in the search area on December 2, 1993, and when Escobar tried to escape, there was a gun battle, But he was forced to the roof and shot, and Escobar's ending meant that the end of the narcotic empire pioneered by Cartel and Escobar soon collapsed.
