Part 1: • Pablo Escobar's Drug S...
--------
In this clip, Roger Reaves spoke about when he found out that Barry Seal, who used to work for him in smuggling, was cooperating with the feds. When asked why he agreed to meet with Barry after finding out the news, Roger explained that Barry was a good friend of his. Roger then detailed their meeting and how Barry told him why he decided to cooperate and Barry also told Roger that he was under his umbrella. Roger then met with an agent, who told him that he had to testify before a grand jury, and Roger added that Barry had also testified against him to a grand jury and Congress. After speaking to several lawyers to get advice, who all told him that he had to “snitch” or go to prison for life, Roger explained that he fled to Brazil. Roger told Barry that he had a price on his head, and months later, he was killed by a man that Roger had previously met during a deal.

I was with this man in a holding cell after landing in California. Spoke to him for a few minutes, very humble.

[@PhoenixAscending]

I have seen several of Roger's interviews. He is a great story teller, and a very interesting man. He is also extremely smart

[@kingbc05]

This dude is so detailed in his stories and recollection

[@Fenrisdog999]

I've listened to him on 3 different podcasts like 3 times each at work because when he tells stories about him getting chased by a jet in a thunderstorm it's like you can hear the 50 cal machine gun and u can feel the heat of the jungle it's amazing man

[@dougr5379]

Roger Reaves needs to have a movie made on his life. Probably the most interesting and fascinating man currently alive!

[@PhoenixAscending]

I have said the same thing. They should have made a movie on him, instead of Barry

[@davidsamuels9557]

@@PhoenixAscending Really. Barry Seal was the operative for the DEA's investigation of the Medellin Cartel, the biggest drug operation in the world. He took the photos of the Sandinistas loading his plane with cocaine. Seal was double-crossed by Oliver North, who leaked the photos in an effort to get Congress to provide funds to the Contras. One month after Seal was murdered, President Reagan addressed the nation. He used the photos that Seal took to make a case for Contra aid. Reagan did not mention Seal, who risked his life to take the photos. North sabotaged the biggest drug investigation in US history, so he could help Reagan politically. The 1991 HBO biopic Double Crossed, starring Dennis Hopper as Seal, has basically been scrubbed from the internet. I was fortunate to find one upload of the movie this week. Call me crazy, but I think Seal's story is pretty fucking important.

I think the opposite, I think he was so smart and a pure businessman who kept going forward no matter what bad stuff happened to him nobody even wanted to have him hit except the law and in the end they got that done in their own way.

[@DattNinjaa]

Vlad you got the best hip-hop interview channel on the Tube but you gotta take your fans advice and stop cutting your guests off 📴

[@bronxbomerpito7286]

What people don't understand is that before these guests show up Vlad does research. Sometimes you have to help guide the conversation to get to where you wanted to get to. Some people aren't naturally good storytellers. Sometimes they start talking about things that aren't leading to the most interesting parts of their lives. Sometimes you got to get them back on track

He was quite and kept to himself alot, no one bothered him. One thing i can say bout Roger was he was a fitness freak always running his 5km around the oval everyday.

[@worldwiderell1812]

Why not just go get a job and never have to worry about having to snitch... but if you sign up for street activities and profit and enjoy the benefits you should take that other side of the game as well ie secret indictments, robberies, Rico charges, being killed... it's a choice be a civilian or a player in the street..... choose wisely but understand that every choice has consequences good or bad
