In this episode we meet the inimitable T.J. Dominquez, fresh out of Federal Prison. He sits down with Johnathan at a secret location, somewhere in Florida, and begins to unpack his unbelievable story. At the height of his cocaine career, adjusted for inflation, T.J. was making $100 million a month back in the 1980’s flying cocaine for Pablo Escobar. He had so much money (and so many Italian luxury sports cars) that each day he'd get up and get dressed, he'd match his Labmorghini to his shirt color.
It's interesting, TJ got scammed by a couple of conniving con artists and turned it into a $500 million cocaine business. You probably know a con artist in your life right now. You just don't know they're a con artist because they haven't scammed YOU. Yet. Buy my book 'Anatomy of a Con Artist: The 14 Red Flags to Spot Scammers, Grifters and Thieves' anywhere books are sold.
