No offense, but she must have been a horrible CPA...



No offense but sounds like the opposite. Drug dealers hire the absolute best CPA’s.

Watch the movie American Made. Probably Tom Cruise’s best movie which ain’t saying much.


what? That movie was completely forgettable and just an insincere attempt at telling that story

Whoever decided to write Barry Seal as a dedicated family man trying to make ends meet needs to lay off the drugs themselves

The Nascar documentary Days Of Thunder is. Like 90% true Tim Richmond stories.

Long-time family friends were very close to him. When “Doublecross” came out on video, we had a get together and watched it, pausing it at points so they could explain what really happened or minute details.

Walked into American History class with this girl balling her eyes out. Ask what the hell was her problem and was told that Barry Seal was killed. I asked again why she was balling like that. She informed me that she baby sat for his kids.

First time I ever heard the name Barry Seal.

The book you need to read is Barry and the Boys, there is a picture in the book with Barry Seal, Lee Oswald and several known CIA agents from a Mexico City restaurant that is taken a few months before the Kennedy assassination.Barry was an incredible pilot. It’s probably true.

Watch Cocaine Cowboys the longest one, it’s basically Narcos the American version with people not actors. They talk about Barry Seals assassination very explicitly.

Barry and the Boys is something to read.

Not sure how much is BS, but it is a fun read.

Is it true that the Caribou that Barry Seal was interviewed in for WBRZ was shot down in the Central America deal that turned into Iran Contra?

Ok. I’ll have to up the ante. Did he ever try to have you indicted?

Yep Aaron Seal posts here. A couple years ago He got Pablo Escobar's son to give me a personal shout out when he was praising Tigerdroppings(Aaron showed him how much relevant info people shared in the threads about their dads).

My mom supposedly went to middle school with Barry Seal’s brother at Bernard Terrace in BR. She met Barry a few times and said their Dad was a candy peddler. Later, when all the shite about Barry started hitting the press, she said it didn’t surprise her in the least. She got that “shady” vibe from Barry.

I heard Seal used to land his plane on a private air strip off Hoo Shoo Too Rd almost to Kendalwood but not sure if that’s true or not.

No, had nothing to do with any of that. I guess that was poorly worded on my part. Just meant when his life went the direction it did with the cartel etc

I believe the house back there was owned by a BR architect, Cappizola (sp?). He flew his planes out of there. Not sure if it had a previous life.

There is another strip off Summerfield in Port Vincent that I had always heard stories of him having an association with.
