Matthew B. Cox and I’m a con man. I served 13 years in federal prison for a variety of bank fraud related charges, and I’m 100 percent guilty of them all…Watch on SloppBoxx.Com.
Slow this down to 0.75 speed, close your eyes, and this sounds a lot like Forrest Gump has been smuggling da-rugs on his shrimp boat.
Is it just me…or is the interviewer taking a tootskie of booger sugar now and again?
Matt is one of the worst interviewers that I’ve seen in a long time!
This guy is my age. I was into many things 1976-1987. It was unbelievable
In the early 80s, the guys running the drug business were often intelligent decent men. It changed quickly in the mid 80s
They both are dirtbag criminals unworthy of respect.
I really like this one.
Mind you at the time all this happened Florida was wide open with zero defense of the boarder to speak of. Doing this now days is a sure way to get caught. It was just a different time back then. One step removed from the Barney Fife days. So you had a 70% plus chance of getting away with “dirty deeds” and the brick weed and coke where everywhere. In every state and city. Of course, because the gov. wasn’t getting their cut they sent the military and every 3 letter agency and invented some new ones. Florida was truly out of control, then became a war zone in the 80’s and 90’s. Pure party wild.
What a great time for ghost bed promo! As the guy talks about sleeping in a tree
Id like to know how they approached local law enforcement and local judges and prosecutors to pay them off. That has to be what helped them avoid arrest for so many years until the feds finally busted them.
Damn i want to meet them.
forest gump grew up
As much as I liked this story , this ol feller hopped around a lot with that timeline lol
On Johnny Mitchell’s documentary they said the guy who started the trafficking name was Craig, is this a different guy?
