The author of that article used the word “whilst” which means they have the iq of a gnat.

This was done by Americans. Escobar had nothing to do with this. He also wasn’t the man behind all the cocaine. The Ochoa family was. Several good books out there about this. The Man Who Made It Snow is the most definitive book on the subject.

Academic intellect and street smarts are not even remotely the same thing.


Street smarts is what you look for in a low-level dealer. People at the top generally have at least some academic training in learning how to run a business, even if said business is illegal.

A big part of running a successful business is setting procedures in place that make it difficult for employees to steal from you. This is true for any drug business too, and I'd guess it's more difficult than in a legit business.

Likely a few points higher than our average inner city criminal today with at least equal or worse education growing up.

If you view his final photo you will see he was definitely too big for his britches.

He still had the intuition to make it work on a pretty grand scale.

Fun fact I read about him not too long ago. He made so much money, it cost him $2500 a month in rubber bands to bundle it.

I guess once you become a drug lord, there's no getting out.
I always wondered why all these drug lords make so much money, why not cut ties and get out with the money you have.
I guess once you do that, they would come arrest you.

You dumbass. An IQ of 130 would put someone in the top 2% of the population.

Found the online IQ test taker

130s puts you in top 2% of the population, 150s is genius level.

Some dude claimed to have taken an IQ test and scored between a 130-138. That's a massive variation.
