It must be nice, such beautiful plan:

- own an aviation company

- own a plane

- fill the plane with 500 kilos

- flight to the US

- Sell the drugs

- Become rich

Only one mishap, those darn Fed's!

Just think how many of those 500 kg packages made it to pay for sap planes and sap is still flying...

What are the odds that he got caught on his first trip? Could be he banked a lot before his fatal trip.

In a similar case in 2012, a Central and South American drug ring was busted leading to the arrest of Rafael Rosado Senen, owner of another Dominican carrier, Caribair (B9, Santo Domingo Herrera), for using the airline's aircraft to smuggle narcotics.

Only 6.5 years? someone defintitely has a high price lawyer or connections. Let some lowlife from Liberty City, or Miami Gardens get caught with that amount; he will die in prison.

He will be out in 4, Leroy would get same sentence for the same amount in ounces of weed.

These prosecutors will have turned over every rock to find the money from this and previous crimes.
If there was any money stashed away he would not be getting a light sentence.
When you try to hide profits you end up with lots more years.
These prosecutors are not fools and know all the lyrics to the drug smuggler blues.

A few years back the Florida Keys was a smugglers paradise. Many were caught with the goods but some escaped.
The feds waited a few years then came back and arrested the rest of them for income tax evasion when they spent the money. What good is all that cash if you do not buy something?
