From the Beaches of California to the Dungeons of Colombia

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1942, George Jung's life took a dramatic turn when he stumbled upon the lucrative world of marijuana trafficking in the sun-drenched beaches of California. As his fortune grew, so did his ambition. Jung's quest for wealth and power led him to the heart of the Medellín Cartel, where he became the trusted lieutenant of Pablo Escobar, the notorious Colombian drug lord.

Driven by an insatiable hunger for success, Jung masterminded the smuggling of tons of cocaine into the United States, amassing an unimaginable fortune that fueled a lavish lifestyle of fast cars, luxurious mansions, and endless debauchery. But his reign as the 'King of Cocaine' would be short-lived.
