    Its so strange how one unknown man can have such a huge effect, negatively, on a country, and yet seems so likeable.

      It’s definitely strange, but I mean people even idolize serial killers these days - I think it’s because most people have never had their lives affected by anything like this, like people who’ve had a son overdose or a husband get busted with coke probably don’t enjoy this at all, but to most others he looks like badass

Was A.F. worked with Marcos' Shaw of Iran, Uncle was they guy hanging off the helo skids forced to leave the country was the last flight out of the city, He alwaysaughed and said he took the stand up departure with that fresh air blowing through his hair... He was an amazing guy all of my uncles all A.F. All private contracting after and all retired to one or another Country with some kind of crazy retirements. Got 2 left out of 11. Loved to listen to them Giggling like naughty school girls talking about what they had gotten in to or out of with the others saying when I heard about this or that I knew it was you! Slapping the table. Crazy guys lived some crazy lives. Tapioca who knew... you grew it....

    The creepiest thing about this guy, to me, is that he's actually a hardened career criminal. He's spent 30 years in prison. But he comes across as a wise, kind -hearted, loyal, noble, grandpa type. Nobody survives being a international drug trafficker for that many years by being noble and loyal. Everybody's got a persona...great actor too

      Context is everything, the man is sitting in a comfortable chair with a cool drink in a comfortable room telling stories about his life. It’s easy to look happy and non threatening in that kind of environment. Put him in a situation that his life of family are in danger and I’m sure you’d see a emotionless vicious cold hearted man.

      I’ve read in another smugglers book (Mr Nice by Howard Marks) that Roger Reaves is a good man and would never betray his friends and wasn’t violent. I’ve also seen a documentary on Australian prisons and Roger was there doing 15 years for cocaine smuggling and would have gotten 8 years if he cooperated. But I bet he’s got some skeletons in his closet.
