If I can be the Michelle Pfeiffer character then it's all good

I thought I'd play the Medellin end of things.

Anyway, don't you know who was the mastermind behind the cartels? Who took a few small time Colombian operators and taught them finance, industrialization, organization, intelligence and all the keystones of any multi national corporation?

Robert Vesco, who looted his giant mutual funds operation in the late 60s of hundreds of millions of dollars and became a 'fugitive financier'. Now in prison in Cuba, a chip in the big endgame for Fidel.

He was to the cartels what Meyer Lansky was to the Syndicate. The money man, the one who showed them how do and what to and when to from Chile to Bermuda and beyond.

That's it. Al Pacino playing Ted with M16 and 40mm grenade launcher, defending his fairy-dealer Miami mansion as the Czech Mafia storms the place with Mac-10s...

Just watched the WNBC clip. That's funny - eplispey from absinthe? It might explain why those five people were butchered and the hospital torched in those six hours I can't remember.

Absinthe empire? Its like that line from Scarface about the illegal empire that stretches across the Andes.
