But can you run and maintain a drug cartel business though? You can't just bash in through the ranks of corrupt people and say "hey I want to make business with you involving drugs" of course you need a keen and clever mind just like chess.

It's about a book from a drug lord who operated in the Philippines and is now in jail in the U.S

"According to the book “The Mastermind” written by award-winning journalist Evan Ratfliff, Le Roux used the Philippines as his base of operations starting in 2007 because of the ease with which the crime boss could bribe his way through trouble.

Why Le Roux chose the Philippines as his base of operations, according to the book, could best be explained by a dialogue captured by a hidden camera, between Le Roux and a Colombian US Drug Enforcement Agency asset posing as a drug trafficker.

“You are not Filipino, why the Philippines?” asked the Colombian to Le Roux, according to the book’s quotation of the dialogue.

“Basically, as far as Asia goes, it’s the best shit hole we can find,” Le Roux had replied, the book said.

At the book’s epilogue, Le Roux was further quoted as explaining during court testimony in the United States why he chose the Philippines as his base.

“He was unconcerned about the consequences in the Philippines,” the book said.

Then it quoted Le Roux during his testimony about operating from the Philippines: “I didn’t care who knew what, whether people (in the Philippines) knew the crimes were happening or not because I had the police in my payroll.”

“I was protected,” Le Roux was quoted as saying in court.

At the book’s epilogue, its author, Ratliff, said he wondered how Le Roux would have operated under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, who had launched a brutal campaign against drugs and criminality that had already claimed the lives of thousands of people.

“One source connected to the Manila underworld told me he’d talked to people at the highest levels of the (drug) cartels now active in the country, who said that the killing campaign was targeted only at addicts and low-level dealers, leaving the higher-ups, who knew how to pay for protection, untouched,” Ratliff wrote.

“The drug business, he said, was booming,” he continued. “They said ‘we’re sending in more (drugs).’ They’re stockpiling it,” he added.

“So you killed how many thousands of people? There’s no dent in it (the drug trade in the Philippines),” Ratliff wrote, quoting his underworld source.

Kind brave, smart and dumb at the same time to operate on a foreign country as a drug lord. Braveness clouds your ability to think smart. Too bad for him, pero yung mga drug lords natin dito at me kilala ako nag sa****** lang yung peg, business as usual.

 

[hanayaharvey1]

tingin ko hindi accountable ang government dito,
matagal ng bawal ang drugs, and alam ng mga user ang consequence ng paggamit nito,

kung ikaw ama, at may anak, at ayaw mong mawalan ng kinabukasan anak mo, malamang kung matino pag iisip mo hindi ka gagamit ng bato,

may mga tao talaga lahat ay sinisisi sa gobyerno haha,

ok lang yan bossing.. LP fanatic kasing liit ng kulangot ang utak ng awinahe .

 

[ConquerorXXX]

Kasalanan yan ng adik.. Kaya namatay... He deserved to die
If you concern about children..
Mas marami napatay ang mga adik..Rape
Rape , massacre with rape, and more

 

[awinahe]

Patayin sana ng adik buong pamilya mo. Gusto mo kasi ay narco country gaya ng ginagawa ng dilawan, they let drug lords free and influence others, even in jail they are free to use drugs. Pero gaya mong mga **** ay ipaglalaban parin ang mga baluktot na katwiran na galing sa dilaw na tae.

That's all you are able to do? threat? rude language? a true dds talaga... reported!
