Ep 7 - The Cutting Room Floor - Part 1

In this episode of Cocaine Air, Johnathan Walton and executive producer Evan Goldstein delve into unaired stories from T.J. Dominguez's life as a cocaine smuggler for Pablo Escobar. They discuss Escobar's surprising persona as a family man and philanthropist, the challenges of flying without GPS, and T.J.'s ingenuity in overcoming obstacles like bullet-ridden planes and finding hidden landing strips. The conversation covers the logistics of smuggling, including hiding cocaine in modified vehicles and the different "brands" of cocaine. They also touch on the dangers T.J. faced, the importance of his team, and the betrayal that ultimately led to his downfall, drawing parallels to "The Godfather." Walton also promotes his book, "Anatomy of a Con Artist," and highlights the immense value of cocaine shipments in the 1980s.
