Yes, but Barry made his bones flying in coke and ludes.

Barry was ballsy and a great talker but to brag on publi television that he wasn't afraid of Pablo Escobar and he could see a Colombian coming from a mile away ...all the time he was then unarmed in a half way house betrayed by the local Fed judge.

..well, anyhow...a little bravado goes a long way.

rumour always was that young Fabio Ochoa was really the one who pushed to whack Seal....not Pablo.

Course now...Fabio rots in US custody for heroin trafficking ..after he had made his deal and was free and clear. Dumb move Fabio.

Some of those Colombian padrones believe their own hype

The movie version had Seal running pot into Louisiana, and when he got busted, he offered to hand Ochoa over to the DEA. Artistic license, I'm sure.
However, the real story, not told in the movie, was his connection to the Mena, Arkansas operation while ole Bubba was gov.
Have you read Compromised?
It's a very interesting story, told by a man who was already working for the FBI.
