George Jung, the drug trafficker known as El Americano who inspired Johnny Depp's film Blow and helped Pablo Escobar smuggle planeloads of cocaine into the United States, has died aged 78.
The notorious cocaine smuggler died at his home in Boston on Wednesday morning where he was receiving hospice care.
His cause of death was not immediately known but he had recently been battling liver and kidney failure, sources told TMZ.
Jung, who ended up spending more than 20 years of his life in prison, was responsible for more than 85 percent of the cocaine smuggled into America in the 1970s and 1980s.

Why would he not be able to live here?

Did he ever make up with his daughter?

I’ll never understand how drug dealers like him and Pablo Escobar can’t simply walk away and disappear with a hundred million dollars after a few years of being in the drug trade.

Who do you think his customers were?

I doubt that 85% number.

Cone on. George didn't hurt anyone that didn't agree to it.

Serious question. If drug dealers are always killing their completion, why didn’t Pablo’s competition just knock George off? Wouldn’t that have been the easiest way to disrupt Pablo’s operation. I don’t understand how this guy stayed alive during or after his smuggling days.
Down the google rabbit hole I go.
