This book-movie-thread are a bunch of hype.

750,000 lbs of Colombian weed in the heydays of 74-88 is only about 10 small freighter loads.

Plenty of smuggling gangs did this.

Kramer ran up to 250,000 lbs per trip in his ocean barges..along with his daddy and lawyer etc.

Lots of Shrimpers from the all over the Gulf ran weed from Colombia....Everglades City was overrun with the stuff.....nearly the whole town did time.

Fisherman even ran all the way from New Bedford and Port Judith and even east coast Canada with huge loads.

And the Brother Love gang from Star Island in Miami had pot planes (the big radial engine kind) running weekly from the Marroon's Cockpit strips in Jamaica for years till the 60 Minutes show with their kids smoking dope got them nailed.

Ah...it went on and on. This crew were big but not the biggest in history and the largest dope asset seizure I ever heard of were the BCCI bank collapse seizures or the Willie Falcon-Sal Magluta cocaine cases in SoFla.

Somebody wants to post a smuggling thread...they need to read up.
