“Finding Escobar’s Millions” Feels Like You’re Watching a Pusha T Verse Unfold on Discovery Channel

I just wanna state that I’m really upset that Pusha T wasn’t contacted to narrate this show too. You can see this being called Finding Escobar’s Millions in the Ceiling too, right?

If you’re a fan of Narcos, know the history of the war on drugs, or pop culture in general, then you’re familiar with who Pablo Escobar was. The Ric Flair of drug dealers. Escobar was making over 60 million dollars a day, so much that he couldn’t spend the money fast enough. The only answer was to bury it. “At one point 20% of all American 100 dollar bills was buried in Columbia”. The money that has been recovered so far is barely a fraction of what’s still out there. Now, 30 years later two former CIA operatives Douglas Laux and “Ben Smith” have been given permission by the Columbian government to find that buried money. What’s cool about this hunt is that it isn’t just about blindly digging in random locations.

Douglas and Ben inform the audience on what they need to do to ensure this isn’t a wild goose chase. Ben makes sure these Caletas (money stashes) are real by researching them at the Newspaper archives of El Espectador (displaying how important research is to any task/mission, as well as how Newspapers are still very important). Here we see money wasn’t the only thing buried, there are newspaper clippings in the archives about jewels, guns and freaking gold being uncovered as well. There’s all the proof you need…
