Wasn’t Barry Seal just a transporter? Don’t think he was a “dealer”.. but I haven’t seen the movie in a while

You aren’t going to find out about Barry’s life by watching the Tom Cruise movie. It’s pure fiction.

Birdman and his rap group went by the name The Hot Boys (“Hot Boy” = someone that sold drugs). These guys had money before they formed their rap group, so they obviously made it via other means (selling “dope/rock on the block - they even have a song called “Tha Block is Hot”).

You might know the man, but if you think that birdman didn’t have his hand in the drug game, you are 1) completely oblivious, or option #2) oblivious and just dumb. I’m sure later in his career he cut out all that, but before Cash Money got big, I have no doubt in my mind the man sold all sorts of drugs. It is widely known he has put out hits on people, so I don’t think selling drugs is out of the realm of possibility. shite he even got BG and Turk addicted to heroin when they were 15/16 years old to essentially manipulate them and make them his puppets, as they would continuously be fiending for the drugs and he would “hook them up” to keep them under his thumb.

TL/DR... Birdman is a huge piece of shite

Whoever was supplying Marc Morial through the 90s did very well.

The story goes that he was busted by the Feds and when they showed up he thought they were NOPD and asked them to call Marc because it wasn't allowed to bust him.

A guy who was found shot at close range with 22 cal sitting in the driver's seat of his car in Lake Chuck. His name was Harry Tubbs. Suddenly appeared in town going to restaurants in black tie with his Bentley he had shipped from Central America where he said he owned 27 companies. Throwing parties upstairs at nice club with bubbly flowing gratis. This was around late '76 early '77. By early 80's he must have been doing to much of his own product got pretty thin for a big well built guy with a jaundiced complexion by '84. Gone by '85.

We knew each other, not well, but by name. A Customs agent, who I would sometimes drink with at local bar near the port, asked me if I could get close to him and that it would be lucrative, this was in '83. The Feds had been trying to catch him for several years. I declined the offer. it come up in conversation when he and a buddy mentioned his name. I volunteered that I knew him. He had always been congenial with me. They never caught him, but someone else apparently wanted him out of the picture
